As you make your way around the city, gamers will discover a wide array of characters while staying motivated through the collection of coffee and dim sum.
Luke Sidewalker features some intriguing puzzles while you try to outsmart the obstacles in your environments like hot dog stands, women having babies, tourists, dogs and even Pokemon Go players. As you try to make your way across the city, there always seems to be something standing in your path and it takes some unique strategies not to get caught up in all of the chaos.
Luke Sidewalker is an 8-bit strategy game that features some funky music and adventurous gameplay. While the game only remains entertaining for a short bit, the overall concept is rather ingenious and cute. There are a ton of pop-culture references in Luke Sidewalker and trying to achieve your dream of making it across New York become quite the challenge.
All in all, Luke Sidewalker has a fun premise and offers some decent gameplay to boot. If you have ever dreamed about walking your way through New York City, then Luke Sidewalker may just be for you. May the force be with you--young sidewalker.
