Frozen: Olaf's Quest is a video game based off the 2013 Disney animated feature Frozen, and starring the film's secondary tritagonist Olaf the Snowman voiced by Josh Gad. Reviews were largely mixed.[2]
Gameplay[]
In this humorous epilogue to the motion picture, Disney Frozen: Olaf’s Quest hands center spotlight to Olaf, the outgoing, innocent and comically carefree snowman from Disney’s epic comedy adventure. It pairs tightly tuned platforming action with light puzzle-solving elements across 60 imaginative levels, complete with hidden collectibles, side challenges and unlockable customization items. Every 10 levels you face a boss of sorts. In the summer-themed levels, Olaf is on a raft and cannot touch water, and in the winter-themed levels, Olaf is being chased by Sven or Marshmallow and if they catch up to him the level restarts. Every 10 levels, the theme and/or the collectable coins change as if you moving on to the next world. Frozen’s gameplay mechanics are informed by Olaf’s unique design, allowing him to use his own frigid yet fluid form to help him out of slippery situations. The game is designed with challenges appropriate for young or new gamers.[1][3]

Reception[]
Orla Madden of Nintendo Life gave the game a mixed review of 5/10.[6] While a fan of the film, Madden criticized the lack of presentation, noting a complete lack of dialogue or storyline.[6] Other criticisms included the repetitive gameplay, lack of humor, and a lack of appearances of other characters from the film such as Anna and Elsa. While saying the game would be fun for younger players, he asserted that older gamers would find little to enjoy in the game.[6]
