Review: Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 – The Official Video Game

Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games: The Official Video Game doesn't have a lot going on. Progression boils down to earning points to unlocking costumes, different titles, earning medals, and not much else. That progression can be kind of a slog, though, when a lot of the gameplay mechanics are too shallow to be fun for more than a few minutes (especially when playing alone). It's at its absolute best when it's over-the-top and absurd while competing in sports that are more than just button mashing. If you've got a friend or two — or the itch to take this thing online — you're still bound to have fun, but I doubt it'll keep most folks interested for very long.
