In a few short breaths I’m a social worker, a baker, a doctor, a warrior, a savior of cities, and an inspirer of worlds.

Still, I’d bet the pile of gold I’ve just typed into existence that you’ll spend much of that time with a genuine smile on your face. Ultimately, Scribblenauts Unlimited’s biggest problem is that it can never live up to its own title – random tomfoolery won’t add too much to the brief six or seven hours it takes to finish the story and complete all the main challenges. At one point, a magic mirror I’d created produced a parallel version of myself, who compounded the mess I’d already made by spawning his own pile of assorted doodads, including an angry shoe and a forlorn-looking 5th Cell developer. Who’d win in a fist fight between God and the Devil? Lucifer didn’t even get to throw a punch. Can you ride a whale while toting a harpoon gun? Of course you can. The ability to self-author solutions doesn’t just make the larger puzzles more satisfying, it also tends to leave the maps dotted with random junk, people, and things, which can lead to some wonderfully weird scenarios. Innocent Witches Maps dotted with random junk, people, and things lead to some wonderfully weird scenarios. The game tells you to build a wall and prep the townspeople for sword-to-sword skirmishing, but there’s nothing preventing you from deleting the barriers, carpeting the approach with mines and blasting away raiders yourself. In one section, you’re tasked with defending a desert town against marauding bandits. It’s here that Unlimited proves its sandbox credentials. Luckily the more substantial missions are far more accepting – demanding, even – of lateral thinking. And it’s a wonderful little bundle of joy.

It’s a game where nearly every single word you tap out on the Wii U’s touch screen becomes an object you can interact with on the fly. It’s a driven collection of hundreds of puzzles set in a sprawling open world spanning dozens of themes.

Its Super Mario Paint meets Grand Theft Auto and whatever else your warped little mind decides to splash across its blank canvases at any given instant. Scribblenauts Unlimited might be gaming’s greatest toy box. Scribblenauts Unlimited Free Download Repacklab
