We only wish it were longer and hope that the forthcoming sequel, Turnip Boy Robs A Bank comes to PS4 a little quicker than Commits Tax Evasion did as we want more and soon. In conclusion, Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion was a fun surprise that we really enjoyed our time with. It’s the perfect procrastination option, put it that way. We feel compelled to go back and play it some more even though we’ve done almost all there is to do. It also includes modifiers such as enemies exploding on death or providing a health boost when they peg out. This balding reviewer can’t get enough of them. The PlayStation version includes the Limitless Line content update, which is in effect a boss rush mode where you can play to unlock more hats. The soundtrack is also available on vinyl, though if you’re in the UK you’ll probably do better getting it off Spotify instead lest you get clobbered for horrendous shipping and custom charges. Sure, it’s no Still Alive like at the end of Portal, but at least this won’t lead to endless tedious ‘the cake is a lie!’ style easter eggs going forward in every damn game. There’s even an excellent song to see out the end credits. Graphics are bright and breezy with catchy tunes to boot. It won’t push your hardware either, we were able to play the first half of the game on our base model PS4 with zero issues before finishing off later on our PS5. Nor is it particularly long, though it betrays its origins in mobile in that respect. One boss was a bit sticky for us, though the unskippable cutscene when we retried several times was less welcome. It’s largely nonsense, but the parallels to other games raised definite smile here.Įven without switching on God Mode in the menu, Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion isn’t a particularly tough game. There’s even a plot here of sorts, riffing amusingly on any number of cliched film and game storylines that play it straight. Though a bit close to home in that respect. Our favourite is the one that makes you bald. In addition to documents, you’ll be rewarded with various hats from fetch quests. Some of the trophy descriptions are pretty amusing too. Talking of trophies, Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion showers you with them like they’re confetti. Turnip Boy contains many well observed gags and nods to current daft trends, the arbitrary trophy amusing us no end. One section is a nice nod to the Lost Woods in Zelda, though once you’ve memorised the route through, you’ll be set.Īs you progress you’ll happen upon various documents and artifacts that flesh out the story, though for whatever reason Turnip Boy has a tendency to rip up everything he can. We’ll spare you the details of others, but the game is cleverly designed to incorporate these. The growing plants dynamic lets you access the various tools available like bombs and blocks you can shove around. The enemies are rather less threatening than usual, consisting of cute bunnies and worms to begin with, but given you’re a vegetable and they’re vegetarians you’re squarely on the menu. The latter he can attack enemies with and the former he can water other plants with. Turnip Boy himself doesn’t have any arms but somehow can wield a sword and a handy watering can at the outset. Rather than Animal Crossing type chores, what follows is more like a truncated Zelda style quest, stylistically as well as structured. You’re called upon to complete various tasks for the mayor to clear the debt. He finds himself in hock to the mayor of the town and so begins your adventure. The titular anthropomorphic root vegetable finds himself footing a huge tax bill for reasons not entirely clear at the outset. Once again, it obviously did well enough to be deemed worthy of a release on PlayStation. Coming from Massachusetts-based dev Snoozy Kazoo and publisher Graffiti Games, as increasingly seems to be the case, TBCTE first released on Switch and PC in 2021. Though we’re glad we didn’t dismiss it out of hand as it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion could well have been a Ratalaika effort for the almost generic title.
