Alright, so Shrek: Hassle at the Castle is exactly what it sounds like—a goofy little GBA romp where you play as the big green guy himself, stomping through Lord Farquaad’s castle. It’s got that classic early 2000s platformer vibe, with some light puzzle-solving and a ton of movie references. The first level throws you right into the swamp, smashing crates and dodging guards who somehow think they can take on an ogre.

Graphics are bright and cartoony, like someone smushed the movie’s art style into a tiny screen. The controls are simple—jump, punch, maybe burp at someone if you’re feeling fancy—but there’s something weirdly satisfying about tossing knights into moats. Donkey shows up to yell at you occasionally, which feels about right.

It’s not gonna blow your mind with depth, but if you’re nostalgic for Shrek’s brand of chaos or just want a breezy platformer, it’s a solid pick. Just don’t expect it to reinvent the wheel—or the onion.
