WTMG’s Leo Faria: “It is an ungodly flawed game in need of some patches, without a doubt. Some of its design choices are questionable, to say the least. Yet, somehow, I still liked Clive ‘N’ Wrench way more than expected. By no means was this up to par with some of the other love letters to the collectathon genre released over the past decade, but its charm and creativity somewhat outweighed its cons. It is the typical case of a single developer’s labor of love which went too far, with way more mechanics and ideas that it should have had. Still, I cannot fault it for its ambition. It’s a pretty good foundation for what could potentially become a neat little franchise. Also, a nice little collectathon to satiate my nostalgic needs for the time being.”
