TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2

Each level has collectables to find similar to the first game, which encourages exploration and gets the most out of the fun platforming mechanics.

The story and presentation are fantastic with many loveable characters, interactions, and level locales.

Its age is still evident in environmental geometry, character models, animations, and certain textures, but the bright art direction works in its favor.

While on foot combat works well enough in most cases, you can also use these to punch enemies up close and are even used for certain tasks like putting out fires or lifting giant rocks.

Energetic music, lively sound effects, humorous dialogue, and strongly Australian character performances reinforce the lighthearted atmosphere.

The game is officially Steam Deck Verified, with its core functionality working through the handheld's controls and its interface remaining usable on the smaller display.
