Critic reviews
- 8.0Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass is a wonderful, heartfelt tale that hearkens back to another age, that has some barriers to entry, but which is ultimately rewarding to play.
- 8.0Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass is a fantastic RPG that has every right to stand right next to the classics that inspired it, and especially the SNES gem known as Earthbound. It's funny, weirdly heart-warming and melancholic at the same time, and, believe it or not, very spooky. Apart from those who resent turn-based battles, or don't have the patience to do some heavy grinding, most are definitely advised to try this out.
