Mousecraft presents itself in a lovely polished package, under the ever watchful eyes of Schrödinger the cat who adds some character and humor to the game. The game has addicting gameplay that gives you a sense of satisfaction once the mice make it safely to the block of cheese. You’ll not find anything new or mind blowing in the game but you will find a charming and entertaining puzzle game which fits the Nintendo Switch purrfectly!!

MouseCraft is a fantastic puzzler with real-time elements that rewards quick and efficient thinking more than most puzzle games do.

Mousecraft is a really nice puzzle game, that walks the line just right between being too repetitive and easy, or going past the point of challenging to pure frustration. It found that middle ground and got the balance just right. However that lack of level sharing… Well, that really does disappoint.

There is nothing surprising here about MouseCraft. What you see is what you get, and unless the simplistic gameplay appeals to you, it is unlikely that there will be much here that the average gamer is interested in. Some of the puzzles are nice and all for a while, but ultimately, there are no true clever ideas or anything beyond just dropping varied blocks into holes and waiting for the mice to hopefully make it.

MouseCraft is a mix of two other great puzzle games, Lemmings and Tetris, that challenges your brain in an all new way. With great graphics and stages to complete, it's hard to not get addicted!

All in all MouseCraft is an enjoyable enough game with a new if not wholly unique concept backing it up. While Crunching Koalas never seem to really stretch themselves with the puzzle designs, the additional elements added throughout do manage to keep things fresh throughout its 5-10 hour length.

Offering up a new experience every time the mice finish their well-deserved cheese, Mousecraft is a refreshing experience for those in need of a complex puzzle game. It may not be has light-hearted as it could have been, but Mousecraft succeeds by making the player think instead of laugh.

Mousecraft is a strong puzzle game that eases you along. It's enjoyable, but I've played other games like it, though not as good. If you're looking for a puzzle game that will last your up to 10 or 12 hours, give it a go. And once Steam Workshop adds support for sharing created levels, there will be a lot more replay value.

Crunching Koalas has managed to create a hybrid of two classic games and turn it into something challenging and fun.

MouseCraft, although also accessible to a casual audience, winks above all at the veterans of puzzle solving, who, in contact with non-trivial dynamics and well-thought-out reasoning challenges, will find abundant bread for their teeth. Unfortunately, a level of difficulty that is too intermittent significantly undermines an experience that could easily aim for excellence but which, so fragmented, is forced to stop at a lower step.

While it might be a little too simple for hardcore puzzle gamers, MouseCraft is a fun, solid puzzle game experience. The ability to play on any of your PlayStation devices makes it perfect for those times your brain needs a little bit of exercise. Just be wary of that cat, I just know he's up to something sinister.

Gamers hungry for a bit of creative/critical thinking should most definitely put out the cheese and let this mouse come out to play.

Mousecraft on the Nintendo Switch doesn't reinvent the puzzle game genre, but it's fun and intuitive enough to be a very welcome addition to the list of options populating Nintendo's console. With enough inspiration from other major puzzlers, most players will find themselves enjoying delightful short segments around this piece of gaming, while fans of puzzle games will find it a marvelous experience, regardless of the time they spend with it.

Nevertheless, if you have a soft spot for puzzle games and you are not afraid to stumble too long on the same level, you should have a few good times in front of your screen and not regret your investment.

MouseCraft is a fun game, but the difficulty seems to skew a bit on the easy side with the ability to pause mid-level and undo any action. Still, unlocking new obstacles every few stages keeps things fresh, and going for perfect levels will force you to stop and think about how to do things--as opposed to just laying a few blocks and calling it a day. Give Mousecraft a shot.

MouseCraft is an excellent addition to the puzzle genre, which successfully draws upon the strengths of several classics, while differentiating itself at the same time. A unique take on the 'rat in a maze' concept, this is entertaining on all three of Sony's systems, and while it's not exactly a visual showpiece, it's charming enough to make you smile like when you're saying the word 'cheese'. In short, this is a fun little timewaster that you're likely to enjoy more than you anticipate – even if you're lactose intolerant.
