A 78 Metacritic score has given Weird Beluga's action platformer a solid launch, with critics praising its precise platforming, memorable world and nostalgic PS2-era feel.
Review scores clustered between 7/10 and 9/10, with outlets highlighting strong movement and heart while pointing to shallow progression, limited combat variety and some backtracking.
The game follows Zirian and his mechanical Cuckoo on a coming-of-age quest to save his sister after a mysterious Clock Tower plunges the world into eternal night.
Weird Beluga's debut title leans heavily on early-2000s inspirations such as Kingdom Hearts and Jak and Daxter, positioning it as a modern throwback in 3D action platformers.
