If you grew up loving Chicken Run or recently watched Dawn of the Nugget with the family, then get ready to flap your wings with excitement. Because the chickens are back!!
Chicken Run: Eggstraction, the latest release from Outright Games and Aardman, has landed on the Nintendo Switch (and other platforms too), and it’s every bit as charming, cheeky, and cluck-tastic as you’d expect.
This isn’t just another movie tie-in game. Oh no! It’s a full-blown stealth action-adventure that feels like a true continuation of the story we all know and love. You’ll rejoin the familiar flock: Frizzle, Molly, Fowler, and friends as they sneak, strategise, and scramble through daring missions to save chicken-kind once again.
Aardman Magic, Now Interactive
The moment you start playing, that unmistakable Aardman charm shines through. The clay-style visuals, quirky humour, and heartwarming banter make you feel like you’ve stepped straight into the movie. And with a star-studded voice cast including Bella Ramsey, Romesh Ranganathan, Jane Horrocks, and Amelia Dimoldenberg, the characters really come to life.
There’s even a fantastic script by Larry Rickard (yes, the genius behind Ghosts and Horrible Histories), which means every cutscene is packed with the kind of British wit and wordplay that Aardman fans adore.
Eggstraordinary Gameplay for All Ages
Gameplay-wise, Eggstraction is a delightful blend of stealth, puzzles, and teamwork. Each chicken has its own special skills, and you’ll need to use them wisely to sneak past guards, craft clever distractions, and outsmart the evil Nugget Industry.
If you’re playing solo or teaming up in two-player local co-op, there’s plenty of fun to be had. We especially loved working together to knit decoys, disguise chickens in hilarious camouflage, and even (yes, really!) launch each other into action. It’s silly, strategic, and endlessly entertaining.
The missions take you through some great settings, too. From the industrial Chump Factory to the maze-like Peckingham Manor. Each is packed with secrets to discover and obstacles to overcome.
Perfect for Family Game Nights
What really makes Chicken Run: Eggstraction special is how family-friendly it is. The gameplay is simple enough for kids to pick up, but still offers plenty of challenge and strategy to keep grown-ups engaged.
The Switch version runs smoothly and looks fantastic on both handheld and TV mode. It’s the perfect game for cosy evenings in. Whether you’re sneaking through a factory with your little ones or just having a laugh at all the chicken puns (and there are a lot of them!).
Final Thoughts
If you’re after a game that’s wholesome, witty, and full of feathered fun, Chicken Run: Eggstraction is a must-play. It captures the spirit of Aardman’s films perfectly while adding an interactive twist that the whole family can enjoy.
It’s clever, creative, and just the right amount of chaotic – a real cracking good time for all ages.
Chicken Run: Eggstraction is available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. You can pick up your copy from Amazon today.
