Overall, Burnout Paradise is a great experience and a very fine addition to the racing game scene on the Nintendo Switch. It’s a solid choice for those looking for a change from the Mario Kart like sphere and it’s a game I highly recommend you try.
This really is just a happy game. The music is fun and relaxing and the jokes add a nice level of silly humour to the whole experience. The whole game just feels like those classic platformer games which caused so many people to fall in love with gaming. The team and THQ Nordic have nailed all the joy the original game brought to many and have added enough to also make it feel like a brand new title, not just a remaster. Young and old gamers alike are sure to get a fun kick out of this adventure, and it is one I highly recommend you try.
The graphics were good considering it was a port to the Nintendo Switch. Undocked, it played smooth and the frame rates were consistent and the graphics looked really smooth on the docked version as well. I have mixed feeling towards this game and I am heavily conflicted as to if I really enjoyed the experience or not. The opening was very enjoyable and the first few chapters were highly enjoyable, but then it just seemed to flatline slightly and became more of a task to play rather than something that was an enjoyable experience.
Streets of Rage 4 is definitely a welcomed addition to the epic series.
Overall, the game is a perfect addition to id Software’s vastly successful DOOM franchise.
