Launch Window“Chicken Run: Eggstraction offers a fun and entertaining experience for children, featuring short, easy-to-follow adventures, simple gameplay, appealing colors and visuals, and familiar sounds and music for fans of the series. If you’re looking for a light, comedic game suitable for your kids—with local co-op on a single screen—it’s an excellent choice. However, it may not meet the expectations of players seeking a deeper challenge or a demanding family experience.”

Launch Window“Overall, Chicken Run: Eggstraction was pretty disappointing. There was a lot that was so good about it, but the play had a lot of issues with it. If you can grab this title on sale, and you like these types of games, you should pick it up and try it out. However, I don’t think it is worth the full price. Like many licensed games before it, Chicken Run: Eggstraction was more focused on the animations rather than the gameplay. I think it would be a lot more fun if you had someone to play with as well. The co-op would give you someone else to help mitigate some of the issues I had.”

Launch Window“Chicken Run: Eggstraction is a solid movie companion game that picks up where Dawn of the Nugget left off, complimenting action platforming adventure with cinematic cutscenes rich with Aardman's signature style and humour.”

Launch Window“This polished isometric stealth sequel delivers an engaging story and Aardman's trademark wit, making it a good fit for fans of the series. However, the clunky controls and awkward camera angles work against the core stealth mechanics, which already feel too simplified. It is a short and easy experience, but it still offers solid replay value despite its flaws.”

Launch Window“Chicken Run Eggstraction is a family-friendly casual game that fits nicely into an introduction to the extraction genre. It may not be for everyone, but the quirky, endearing chooks and light-hearted humour carry the long legacy of Aardman’s charming catalogue.”

Launch Window“My gaming chum and I had a lot of fun with Chicken Run: Eggstraction, especially thanks to its top-notch presentation that represents the franchise in a phenomenally authentic way. Its gameplay can be frustrating, yes, but it's still rewarding stuff at the end of the day. 🐔”

Launch Window“Despite itself, Chicken Run: Eggstraction is one of those titles that can slip by unnoticed in the chaos of an increasingly lively and abundant video game market. Quite ironic for a stealth game. However, ignoring this production by Aardman Animations and Outright Games could be a serious mistake. Not only are we faced with a fun adventure with challenging gameplay suitable for all ages, but also a hilarious sequel to the film “Chicken Run.” If you love the franchise, you have no excuse not to pay attention to it. For everyone else, it's yet another demonstration that sometimes small surprises can hide in plain sight.”

Launch Window“Set after the events of Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, this latest game set in the Chicken Run universe lets you put together your own team and attempt to rescue yet more chickens from a variety of locations. The result is a simple stealth game with one or two frustrations, but thanks to its charming animation and impressive voice cast, franchise fans will likely enjoy it quite a lot.”

Launch Window“As a game itself, Chicken Run: Eggstraction is fine, completely competent, even if it’s not the most fantastic stealth title in the world. But when you combine its simple but effective gameplay loop (which can also be enjoyed with a friend in local co-op) with some jaw-dropping cutscenes, excellent voice acting, and some lovely British dry wit, you get a game that will rarely make you feel bored.”

Launch Window“Chicken Run: Eggstraction feels and plays like a solid top-down adventure game. The story isn't particularly special, but the cinematics are quite cool. Gameplay-wise, it's easy to play, but the interesting level design makes the puzzles here and there quite enjoyable. The game plays best in co-op, as it allows for better teamwork. The AI isn't as engaging and interactive in single-player, as you feel like you're on your own too much. With about five hours of gameplay, and a bit of extra co-op content, the game isn't exceptionally long, but ultimately, I had a great time. Unfortunately, it's not much more than that.”

Launch Window“Chicken Run: Eggstraction may have some structural flaws, but it's still a good way to continue the adventures of the birds who just want to survive without becoming lunch. The mechanics aren't complicated, and the pace is light, making it suitable for younger players or those looking for a few laughs while hiding from malicious chefs.”
