In Wobbly Life, you control cute, yellow dudes through an open sandbox world where theoretically countless missions and jobs await you. My kids find it much more fun to just explore and cause some chaos with the physics gimmicks of the engine.
Speeding through the city with the truck while the “passenger” can barely hold on to the roof and is being flung around is just part of the daily routine. In addition, there are mini-games or secrets to discover everywhere. It’s wonderfully harmless chaos that always provides shared laughs and is rated 97 percent positive on Steam.
It nostalgically reminds me of my time with GTA 3, only in a kid-friendly way. Back in the day, I often left the missions behind to cause as much trouble as possible in the city and increase my wanted level.
Next, we continue with a particularly great game from the Mario series.
