A 2020 HD remaster of Krome Studios' 2002 mascot platformer, not a new game: the same Australian outback collect-a-thon, resurfaced at HD resolutions and 60fps after a Kickstarter. Ty is the last thylacine, hunting Thunder Eggs and five talismans to free his family from the Dreaming, and the hook is the boomerangs: 13 of them, from the Frostyrang to the Doomerang, doubling as weapon and puzzle key.
The trade-off is faithfulness. Critics landed around a 70 on both the original and the remaster, and the recurring line is that this is a restoration, not a reinvention: prettier and smoother, but still a 2002 design with a camera that has aged, short of the ground-up polish of the Crash and Spyro remasters. PlayStation ratings run high, though from a modest pool of written feedback. It suits anyone wanting an unreconstructed early-2000s collect-a-thon, or an E10+ pick for a younger player, and will feel dated to anyone expecting a modern platformer.
