Toki Tori 2+ Reviews
Toki Tori 2+ on Switch is still the same, cute and cuddly, yet fiendishly tricky game that we've been enjoying for the last few years, but with some notable improvements that make it the best version currently available on consoles. The difficulty of some puzzles may still be too much for some, but the levels of frustration that plagued earlier releases have been somewhat nullified thanks to new mechanics. If you're interested in what the title has to offer, or have only played it in its earliest forms, we urge you to give this version a try.
Toki Tori 2+ is not a very important launch for Nintendo Switch, but it is one of those outstanding games that are perfect for the console. Short and quick game sessions work great here.

Toki Tori 2+ doesn't always make it easy to know exactly what you should be doing, but once the game's initially frustrating first hour subsides, a sprawling, charming and resolutely challenging puzzle platformer lies beyond.
Toki Tori 2+ is a cheery tune of delight which thumps to the rhythm of a chick's stomp. It's a beautiful, colourful, and clever environment to play in, and harks back to those feel-good games which used to be so prevalent but have unfortunately fallen from grace in recent years. This is a fine 2D platformer with original ideas tied to a tried-and-tested formula of platforming goodness. It can be frustrating at times, requiring thought and precision, and a little vague in its exposition, but it rewards you for your efforts with bundles of charm and eventual satisfaction.
Several years after its first release Toki Tori 2 + is still a great puzzle game. This new version for PlayStation 4 can be a nice opportunity to rediscover a game that surely deserved more consideration.

Taken at face value, Toki Tori 2+ is an incredibly well-designed platformer with a distinct Metroidvania vibe. However, it is let down by its visuals and sometimes frustratingly slow progression and backtracking due to certain puzzle sections.
Toki Tori 2 was a great puzzle/platformer on Nintendo Wii U, and for it's Nintendo Switch release everything has been improved to give us the best possible version of the game to play at home or on the go. If you're looking for a great puzzle/platformer for Nintendo's hybrid console, then you need to get this one right now!
Some may look at Toki Tori 2+ and immediately embrace it or dismiss it because of its cute-looking nature. Both parties need to understand, though, that this is in no way a simple platform adventure. Instead, it is a gruelling puzzle-adventure, with so much hidden depth and challenge that hardcore gamers will rejoice from the rooftops. It is the game that just keeps on giving, and with tweaks to perfect the formula, now is the best time to pick it up.
I've always loved a good puzzle platformer. Toki Tori 2+ follows the mold set by great efforts of the genre such as Braid and The Lost Vikings. Unlike the frequent changes George Lucas made to the original Star Wars trilogy, it's commendable that Two Tribes has listened to criticism and continued to implement improvements. Anyone who enjoys a challenge and likes games where you can temporarily travel in bubbles should give Toki Tori 2+ a look.
For fans who want something outside the box and truly unique, Toki Tori 2+ is a must-own
Toki Tori 2 is a perfect little game for playing over time not only because of the format, but because it’s practically impossible to forget how it plays and how Toki Tori moves. It’s easily a must buy for the system if you want a puzzle game to fill your time.
Toki Tori 2+ for Nintendo Switch is the definitive console version. It's a puzzle-platformer that uses the environment in clever ways even though it's tied around two simple mechanics. The pacing is all for the player, making this a relaxing game, yet challenging them at the same time. Puzzle games that use the environment in brilliant ways are not a dime a dozen of eggs and Toki Tori 2+ just pecks it down.
Overall, Toki Tori 2+ is a strong puzzler that’s great for burst sessions instead of long marathons. Two Tribes’ creativity with just two buttons, combined with your own, makes for a game that sneakily compels you to keep solving.
Thoughtful types who enjoy a good head-scratcher and can take their time to execute will likely find Toki Tori 2+ to be a delight. It’s bright, cheery, colorful, and chock full of its own unique flavor of puzzle platforming that’s not for the faint of heart. People who err on the side of action will more likely want to consider giving it a pass though since you’re more of a facilitator than an action start in this adventure. All that said it’s a unique offering on the Switch and will provide hours of puzzle-solving enjoyment with a formula I haven’t seen before.
If you’re in the market for the next great challenging puzzler then look no further
