Defunct Games reviews The Badass Elephant, out this week on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Tembo: The Badass Elephant trumpets in a new era of character-driven platformers from Sega. Although the character is adorable and the graphics are sharp, I was left disappointed by the frustrating difficulty and loose gameplay. Couple this with checkpointing issues and uninspired villains, and you have a 2D platformer that is simply going through the motions. Tembo deserves better.
