We all want nothing more than a traditional Banjo game, but that doesn't mean that Nuts & Bolts is as awful as everyone claims it is.

It should be pretty clear why fans rejected Nuts & Bolts - it’s not really a Banjo game. It’s got the same wicked sense of humour and style, but platforming is almost completely absent.

That obviously offended a lot of fans who had been waiting for a proper follow up, which has led to Nuts & Bolts being outcast.

The vehicle building system may seem like the game's biggest problem, but it’s actually its biggest strength. The things you can make in Nuts and Bolts are only limited by your imagination, and the creator itself is vast, yet easy to grasp.

Nuts & Bolts' physics system is especially fun to mess around with too, and some of the vehicles that people have created really show how great the mechanics are.

If this wasn’t marketed as a Banjo game, the reception would have been entirely different.
