Is Timothy vs the Aliens worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who enjoy platforming while exploring a city rather than following a purely linear route
- Adventure fans who want puzzles involving item searches and helping characters
- Action players interested in fighting alien attackers within an open-world setting
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a tightly linear campaign may find the freely explored city and its hidden missions less suited to that pace.
- Players looking for combat without platforming or puzzle sections may hit a wall when traversal and item-based objectives interrupt alien encounters.
- Players seeking a multiplayer experience may not find the cooperative shooting focus described in Abyssus here.
Our take on Timothy vs the Aliens
The likely sticking point is the mix of traversal and combat: players who expect a straight run of fights may lose momentum when platforming and item-search puzzles block access to areas. The city also invites free exploration, so those who prefer a tightly directed route may find progress less clear.
What is Timothy vs the Aliens?
Timothy vs the Aliens is an open-world platform adventure set in Little Fish City, where a gangster defends a black-and-white city from colorful alien invaders.
The city can be explored freely and contains missions, characters, stories, and hidden secrets. Getting around involves platforming rather than simply walking between locations, and vehicles found in the game can be used to travel across the city. Alien ambushes provide action encounters, while puzzles involve finding items, assisting other characters, and reaching blocked or concealed areas. Timothy has equipment for fighting the aliens, and the Gunrunner sells items that can expand his inventory. The game combines exploration, platform challenges, puzzles, and combat in a city setting.
