Critic Reviews for Maniac
I feel that Maniac sets out to do what it intends to do very well: it’s chaotic, it’s dynamic, and I admit it runs pretty well on the Switch, a console now infamous for slowdowns and stutters when on screen action becomes too much. It’s a fun little experience, but, without achievements or anything beyond the surface to strive for, you can get bored fairly quickly. Having said that, it’s a good budget title for anyone with a soft spot for 90s mayhem, and it never professes to be anything it isn’t. It’s just a shame: it seems I’ve grown older, and the genre hasn’t aged with me. How bittersweet.
