The Addams Family as a platformer: faithful to the franchise's darkly humorous universe. Fairly open exploration, well-crafted atmosphere. Better than the average licensed game of its era.

Is Addams Family, The still worth playing in 2026?

A platformer drawn from the TV series by Ocean, The Addams Family has Gomez explore the mansion and its surroundings to free his family members, in an open structure blending exploration and platforming. The good natured gothic mood and the freedom of progression appeal, but the floaty handling and the uneven difficulty weigh on the experience. The fidelity to the licence stays appreciable. For a retro platforming fan, an Addams Family fan or someone curious about series adaptations, the title keeps a likeable character and a decent entertainment.
