There are some games that are difficult for me to review, that are not necessarily bad games, but I feel like my wiring makes it hard to assess them properly.

Horatio Goes Snowboarding (HGS) is one of those games.
HGS is a reasonably simple score attack game. You play a blue sphere in snow gear, who goes snowboarding.

It feels like a modernised mashup of Frogger, and Ski or Die, with a DnB soundtrack.

The first part of the game (or Frogger) has you crossing several roads and trying to avoid cars, to pick up a snowboard, and then get to the choppa!

The second part (Ski or Die), has you snowboarding downhill, trying to chain slaloms, and avoid obstacles, until you reach the end... and do the same thing again, until you run out of money (crashing results in medical bills, and the snowboards must be purchased).

And that's it.

My fine motor control isn't fantastic, and I end up missing most of the slaloms, but collecting a lot of trees. The controls (L & R triggers, or the LH stick) feel a little sloppy.

I just find it a little too frustrating to remain interested, and was counting down the minutes.

I'm sorry, Horatio Goes Snowboarding. It's not you, it's me. It's just a bit:

2: Meh
