Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido is a crazy, over-the-top experience that gets better the more you play. The game feels incredibly polished, with a mostly satisfying battle system that gets surprisingly deep, and beautifully presented cutscenes that progress the story along nicely. The focus here is definitely on the lengthy campaign, although we can imagine top online players becoming intensely competitive with practice. It might not be able to completely blow you away, but our playthrough has left us with a pleasingly satisfying aftertaste. Make sure to give this a go if you're intrigued.

Even though its online multiplayer isn't perfect, and the Switch version specifically can occasionally suffer from a lack of precision when using a controller, Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido wound up being one of the most original and entertaining puzzle games I have played in years. It exudes the quirk and charm typically associated with some of Nintendo's most popular IPs, so I hope this isn't the last we see of Sushi Striker and its adorably odd world.

It's fun title with some great RPG elements and a lot of nods and winks to the Pokemon series while still being its own thing. Nintendo has definitely once again struck gold with another first party title for the Switch.

A relatively original and enjoyably bizarre puzzler, that seems more at home on 3DS than Switch but still offers plenty of seafood-themed fun for everyone.

If you're into insane over-the-top anime storytelling, Sushi Striker is going to be right up your alley. It's up mine, but it almost works better in a straight TV show format than it does as a deep puzzler with RPG elements.

Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido is one of the best surprises of this current year. A complex game that brings new content to the genre and, despite the fact that it has some issues, features an outstanding combat system.

Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido is a fun casual game with puzzle and RPG elemets, which has an understandable addictive gameplay with a deep mechanics. A ridiculous story eventually begins to annoy with its drawn-out dialogues about nothing, but you can just skip these scenes and enjoy the gameplay.

Despite a certain repetitiveness and joy-con imperfect controls, Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido is a delightful variation of the classic Match 3 in Bejeweled style, with some element nicely taken from Puzzle Quest.

With lots of content and some good cutscenes, it's not a groundbreaking game but it's appealing and it could be even more fun if its online multiplayer was not affected by cases of lag.

Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido does not sound like the most conventional of titles but this is not the most conventional of games. Thanks to a combination of a completely unreal and wacky plot, a charming visual environment and a wide amount of content, Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido amounts to a fun and addictive game, which nevertheless overburdens the player with its never ending plot and disappoints with the dearth of online players to face.

Sushi Striker suffers only one major concern on Nintendo Switch; it is not suitable for gaming in the living room and on a big screen. Designed to be tactile, the best way to play it will be in nomadic mode. This problem aside, we are in front of a good puzzle game that has been carefully developed by Indieszero. A great way to kill time.

Sushi Striker: Way of Sushido is an enjoyable puzzle adventure with an excess of charm behind its silly characters and lovable premise. However, its lacklustre presentation and 3DS origins mean the overall package suffers on Nintendo Switch. It simply doesn't look very good, which is detrimental for a puzzler so reliant on its outlandish world.

Despite some wonky controls, Sushi Striker's insanely colorful presentation and stable of silly characters make it one of the strongest puzzle games currently available on the Nintendo Switch.
