Clive 'N' Wrench is not a good game, there is no way around that. When the Switch is home to some of the greatest 3D platformers ever made, Clive 'N' Wrench stands out for all the wrong reasons. From terrible controls to poor visuals and performance, we're sad to say that there is very little redeemable about the game on Switch. The entire project feels like a glorified demo made for a game design class, rather than a completed project that belongs on store shelves. The attempt is admirable, but after a decade's worth of development, Clive 'N' Wrench turned out as an incredible disappointment. With so many other ways to get your 3D collectathon platforming fix on Switch, your time and money are best spent elsewhere.

The worst part about Clive 'N' Wrench is that there's no way it could be recommended, at least not in its current state. As I wrote way back at the start of this review, it's a one-man passion project, and you hate to criticize something that someone has spent more than a decade working on. But the simple fact is that it's just not very good, and it's certainly not something you need to spend your time or money on right now.
