You will be playing episodes of the show as the main element of the gameplay, however, you are just playing against yourself and trying to complete the task and score the maximum points. Unlike the show, where you would have other contestants playing along side you. You will play five-episodes that each consist of two challenges around the Taskmaster house and garden and one final studio based task.

I personally felt like the tasks were well designed to feel they could be part of the show, which is what you want from the game based on this fantastic TV show. Although, some of them have a set solution and not all are free to openly think outside of the box and play around with – which is such a big part of the actual show. This makes those more standard solution tasks stand out a bit more, and seem less fun that the ones that leave it open for you to play with.

The tasks are made a lot harder by the controls, with the player moving like they are carrying a huge weight on them with how slow and heavy the movement feels. Then the physics in the games aren’t perfect, where picking up some less weighty items, can feel just like moving one that has a lot more weight to it. It just becomes hard to manage putting both of these things together and can lead to unnecessary errors while trying to complete the tasks.

Outside of the controls needing some work, I found there is also some collision issues and some other odd occurrences that just don’t make sense. For example: In on task I used the artificial crouch after so much work transporting an egg in a utensil holder, used the crouch button to get closer to the floor and the egg just smashed in the holder. Same with some of the collision issues they caused errors in solutions to some of the tasks, like items being used to help balance clipping into each other and falling or just lowering your balancing beam. When working so hard on your solution and an error like this happening dropping your score gets really frustrating.
