Mechanics
Stranger Things 3: The Game is an old-school, isometric brawler where we mainly deal with the enemies appearing on the screen. We have at our disposal several characters, each one with different skills (for example, one of them can throw explosive bullets, and another has the ability to charge at the enemies). From time to time, production also forces us to solve very simple puzzles (e.g. activating the right button to open the door).
Game modes
Stranger Things 3: The Game can be played alone or with others (within the local cooperation mode).
Technical aspects
Stranger Things 3: The Game has a simple, 2D retro style visuals that fit well with the 80's Stranger Things atmosphere.

Worth Playing: 6 / 10 by Cody Medellin
Stranger Things 3: The Game is a throwback to a time when the only audience the game is suited for are non-discerning fans of the series. Even then, there's not much here unless they're completely fine reliving the events of the season in a loose way. The gameplay is serviceable, but there's not much here to draw in people who just want a solid title or something to enhance their experience of the show. It isn't that bad if you can get it for cheap, but it isn't something to actively seek out, either.
Eurogamer: by Imogen Beckhelling
Retro charm can't hide dull design in a game that, almost impossibly, has no clear audience.
IGN: 6.9 / 10 by Mike Epstein
A true licensed tie-in game, Stranger Things 3: The Game is most fun when you let fandom lead the way but can fall flat on its own. [Warning: This review contains spoilers for Netflix's Stranger Things, Season 3]
