First impressions is of a game which looks great, is packed with humour, but movement is slightly ‘quirky’. Do not let this put you off as it is addictive, with ever-increasing difficulty and it won’t be long before the stiff controls are the least of your worries. The thumping background music from indie rock band New World Revolution just adds to the enjoyment.
For £6.99 on Steam or £7.99 on PSN, Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken is excellent value for money and will provide hours of clucking pleasure. – 8/10
