We’re only in February, but the ‘unlikeliest tie-in’ category for this year’s awards has surely already been sewn up. Following its effortful adaptation of the third season of Stranger Things, Bonus XP is back with another game based on a Netflix original, in this case the lavish prequel to Jim Henson’s ’80s fantasy classic. But where launched mere hours after the series’ premiere, this is a spin-off whose story runs parallel to a show that debuted six months ago; one that, despite glowing reviews, never quite seemed to capture the cultural conversation. And while ’ 16bit style was. We suppose it’s likely to be similarly overlooked – though in this case, that wouldn’t be much of a surprise.
