A decent Addams platformer, much darker and more adult than its predecessor, though it lacks a bit of pace. Best kept for fans of the gothic family.

Ocean's 1995 Mega Drive release landed in the platform's twilight, with a thin European run printed while publishers were abandoning 16-bit. The Addams brand keeps steady demand, and the lack of a North American Genesis cart makes this PAL edition the only cartridge route to the game. The complete-copy premium reflects scarce trilingual English, French and German boxes in clean condition rather than the action design, which is solid but unremarkable.
Is Addams Family Values still worth playing in 2026?
Addams Family Values adapts the Addams family's gothic universe into a top-down action-adventure, in which Gomez explores dungeons to find Uncle Fester. The blend of exploration, combat and puzzles eyes the Zeldas of the era, with a pleasantly gloomy mood. The stiff handling and at-times confusing navigation, however, betray its limits. For fans of retro action-adventure and the Addams' macabre humor, it is an honest curiosity, carried more by its license than by its intrinsic qualities.
