Garlic is a highly stylized action-platformer featuring a humanoid garlic character attempting to ascend a tower and woo a goddess at the top. The concept is silly, for sure, but having watched some trailers, I had high hopes that I would enjoy the gameplay. Did it meet my standards? Find out in this Rapid Review. When I first launched Garlic, I was treated to a brief cinematic trailer of my Garlic character discussing the tower and choosing to enter.

Hey. Yeah! Hey You! There’s this massive tower you should go to. I hear, if you get to the top, this “Cyber Goddess” can grant you any wish you want. She’s really a hottie too, you should totally go. Quick warning though, its a real tough one and they really want you dead. In Garlic, you play as a little Onion boy with some tall aspirations..

Don’t let its pretty simple and somewhat silly looks fool you, this is a consistently challenging platformer that works pretty well When you play as many games as I do every week, you tend to come to appreciate games that may look a bit unassuming but deliver where it counts.

If you’re a fan of fast-paced platforming and like a challenge, consider Garlic a must-have. Add to that its budget price and its excellent sense of humour, and you have an indie gem that really does deserves more attention than it’s had so far.

Fans of Celeste will love the fast-paced platforming and clever level design in Garlic, as long as they can get past its weird sense of humor. Quick View - Title: Garlic - Release Date: July 7, 2023 - Price: $14.99 - Suggested Audience Age: - Availability: Switch (Reviewed), Xbox, PlayStation, Steam - Recommended for fans of: Celeste, GBC Aesthetics, Weird Memes Geek to Geek Media was provided with a review copy of this title. I hadn’t heard of Garlic when I first saw the main character's giant, grotesque face, and figured it was some shovelware that put cringe humor over any kind of interesting gameplay.

Hey Poor Player

Jul 6, 2023

I honestly found Garlic a joy to play, steep challenge and all. While the game may be a little intimidating to some, I found it quite engaging. It features a diversity of content, crazy challenges, great visuals, and a style that was quite unlike anything in recent years. If you’re not worried about dying a few dozen times, I’d say any fan of platformers or old-school games should give this a try.

Garlic is a retro-inspired 2D platformer that is full of crazy humour and personality. It is challenging but incredibly rewarding when you make progress; Garlic definitely makes your palms sweat!
