Is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory still worth playing in 2026?
Adapted from Tim Burton's film inspired by Roald Dahl's novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory offers an action platforming adventure roaming the iconic locations of Willy Wonka's factory. The film's whimsical, colorful world is rendered rather well, but the gameplay stays basic, repetitive and predictable, with modest presentation. The pace and challenge suit a young audience above all. For fans of the film and young players, it offers a pleasant stroll through an enchanting setting, with no real gameplay ambition.
