Trevor Gould's Reviews
I'll sum up by echoing Jemma from our original review – this game is “Snipperific!”
In my nostalgic-filled mind, this game looks like how I wish to remember ‘80s racers.
The technical issues definitely knock it down some, as does the higher cost on Switch, but RiME still is good more often than not.
The writing is captivating, and the visual updates appreciated. It's satisfying to finish, yet I was also a bit sad to see the credits roll.
But how much will the occasional, inconsistent physics dampen your fun factor? If that thought gives you pause, I'd suggest checking out some of 10Tons' other Switch releases first.
I'm not sure what happened, but I can't ignore these bugs. They leave what is otherwise a great game, just good on the Switch. If you missed this on the Wii U, don't miss it again, but maybe wait until it gets a patch.
For this game to be worth the price of admission, they would have to rework the dungeon generation to prevent situations where you have to take damage just to get to the next room.
Syberia 2 is not as good as the first game in terms of story, and this is a story-driven title. The former played out almost like a detective hunt, but here your final destination is known from the start. However it still has some memorable moments along the way, and there's some, great for its time, visuals and timeless music. Play it and get ready for part 3 to arrive on the Switch soon.
