Time Loader was a nice breath of fresh air for me. It was simple, fun in execution, had a nice little story to tell, and was never overly long. It may be a bit too simple for the hardcore puzzle fans out there, but even then, they can find enjoyment out of this one with everything else it has going for it. This is one game that many will find themselves wanting to see all the endings and it is one that is worth it.
Drew Leachman · Apr 28, 2022 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewA physics-based platformer on the surface, Time Loader carries a weighty and heartfelt story that is bound to consume far more mental bandwidth than the screenshots and videos might have suggested. It’s rare for games to surprise me, but Time Loader did exactly that.
Ron Burke · Apr 25, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewAll in all, the story, even with some unexpected turns, still comes out fairly predictable. There is a part at the end that makes it feel like the gameplay is going to change in a very exciting way, but ultimately it still turns out just like any other chapter. If the game would have truly delivered on that tantalizing promise, it would have felt like a more memorable experience.
Trey Johnson · Mar 28, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewWith a surprisingly gripping narrative, clever puzzles, and fantastic visuals, filled with ‘90s references, there is a lot to love about Time Loader. The game’s short length and mediocre soundscape prevent Time Loader from achieving true greatness, and the full price point feels a bit too high. If you can pick this one up with a discount though, Time Loader is certainly worth picking up.
SebastiaanRaats · Mar 21, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewA couple of missteps aside, Time Loader is an enjoyable platformer with a surprisingly heart-felt story at its core. The backdrop of a house in the 1990s makes a wonderful playground for a tiny robot, and whether you’re whizzing over kitchen worktops, jumping over VCRs or rummaging through boxes of junk in a garage, it’s more entertaining than it has any right to be. It isn’t the longest game in the world – you’ll be done in three or four hours – but you’ll be captivated from start to finish thanks to the engaging gameplay and a narrative that begs for your attention.
Kim Snaith · Mar 15, 2022 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewSide-scrolling through a suburban household as a tiny robot in Time Loader provides an immensely satisfying environmental puzzle-platforming experience that more than makes up for the weak endings.
Richard Hoover · Mar 11, 2022 Reviewed on PC, PS4, XB1, SwitchRead full reviewTime Loader isn’t a long game, but it satisfies through its take on time travel. The story intrigues, the bot character is fun, and the audio design is on the ball. There are some final act issues, but I still recommend the game for those drawn to the plot and with ‘90s nostalgia.
Trevor Gould · Mar 11, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewTime Loader is a brief, puzzling journey that never even gets close to 88 miles per hour.
Alex Santa Maria · Mar 10, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full reviewAll in all, would I recommend this robot-fueled time travel adventure? Absolutely! Even though the story serves as yet another example of why one shouldn’t trifle with time travel, the fun involved makes turning the clock back to 1995 seem pretty enticing. From solid physics to flawlessly detailed environments, Time Loader takes the player on a wild ride through the past, and launches the neglected 2D puzzle-platformer genre into the future like a speeding DeLorean leaving flame trails in its wake.
Cory Clark · Nov 03, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewA well made game with a great premise and enjoyable elements, Time Loader is well worth a playthrough for fans of puzzle platformers.
