Tumblestone is an action-packed puzzle game. Race your friends in multiplayer or challenge yourself in story mode. Solve progressively more difficult and creative puzzles, help a sausage make friends, and find out what happened to the Tumblecrown.
Pros:
- Fun to play with friends (up to 4 players).
Cons:
- Only 3 modes to play with friends, one of which - Tug of War - uses the same pattern over and over again just using different colors.
- The only available game modes are repetitive and stale.
- The script is lazy and lacks any substance whatsoever.
- The UI on the campaign map is slow and often unresponsive.
- The achievements don't always work - documented issue that has gone unfixed, which means:
- The developer is lazy.
- The arcade mode costs money, leaving only the broken campaign to be played; maybe the dev isn't lazy but instead doesn't care about players.
All in all, this game is hardly worth a Free with Gold download, let alone $20. Like I said, it can be fun with friends, but its lack of substance and its limiting multiplayer modes make it hard to enjoy for more than a few minutes.
The question I'm left with is: How can a game that had almost no effort put into the storyline expect people to pay for extra content?

It's Bad
I'm not sure how this game got onto Xbox. This feels like a Steam Greenlight title made by one person. The gameplay isn't really good, and the rest is lazily done. Okay art, but bad sound effects and bad animation. It just feels sloppily done.

Half the game is not here
Not a great puzzle game to begin with but then most of the modes are behind a paywall with a free 2 min. demo of the modes for free.

$20.00??? Ah hell no!
Got this free for Gold, and without question, I overpaid. Suuuuuper BORING, zero variety.

Makes no sense
For some reason, they thought solving multiple randomly generated puzzles with no checkpoints was a good idea.
