Push Square: 7 / 10 by Kell Andersen

Action Henk is a slick and addictive platformer. Its mechanics and controls are perfectly tuned, and its momentum-based gameplay is somewhat original and fun, but a couple of visual hiccups, some slightly bland level design, and a few wonky power-ups mean that it never reaches its full potential. However, as an exercise in running and jumping, few titles match its physics-based prowess.

Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by James Cunningham

Action Henk is easily one of the best speed-runners in years.

GamesRadar+: 2.5 / 5 by Justin Towell

Action Henk borrows great ideas from classic time trial games and delivers a decent, challenging campaign. Multiplayer isn't very fun, though, and it's all been done better elsewhere.

The Plot

Henk, the game’s protagonist, was one of the best stunt men during the 70’s and the 80’s, famous for his speed. Unfortunately, he grew older and the days of his glory are over. When a fellow named Doctor Kentony challenges him, Henk decides to prove that he still has something of his youger self in him.

Mechanics

We will have to beat over seventy diversified levels where we will have to get from point A to point B as quick as possible. While running, Henk focuses on his impetus and basic rules of physics, jumps, slides, and discovers various shortcuts. He also uses various tricks which we will unlock as we progress. The game is fast-paced and requires much dexterity from the players. Each of the seventy levels available in Action Henk for PC, PS3 and etc. can be replayed as many times as we want. The best players will be able to unlock five additional playable characters and skins for them.

Misc.

Action Henk for PC, PS3 and etc. has high quality, 3D visuals. The level editor that comes with the game will also allow us to create our own levels that we can share with other players. The game can be played by one person, who then can share their times and climb up on the online rankings, or online, where we compete against other players.
