Tamarin

About

Tamarin lets you switch between platforming and shooting as a small primate fighting an insect invasion. You leap between 3D environments like forests and mountains to rescue birds and clear infested zones. The controls balance precise jumps with chaotic gunplay as you navigate interconnected levels. Each area has collectibles and secrets tied to restoring a damaged ecosystem. The game leans into playful environmental details like bioluminescent bugs and ant colonies with distinct behaviors. It draws clear influence from classic 3D platformers but adds its own quirky charm through creature interactions. With a Metacritic score of 78 and praise for its creative level design, Tamarin offers a brisk adventure that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC since 2020.
