Pandemic: The Board Game Reviews
Pandemic: The Board Game is a perfectly functional version of the popular board game, now available for you to play on-the-go in solo mode or with some friends in local co-op.
It feels like they took a lot of the mobile assets and didn't put much care into resizing them for the PC. With that being said, overall, Pandemic is a pretty fun and challenging game that's very topical at this point in time.
It’s a shame that the video game version of Pandemic is disappointing, because the board game itself is a lot of fun.
For better or worse, Pandemic on Switch is little more than a digital recreation of the hit board game that you can enjoy solo or grouped-up. The lack of features, side modes, online play and presentation are disappointing, but at its core this is still one of the more fun cooperative board games I've ever played in a compact form on the Switch for a reasonable price.
Pandemic: The Board Game is a very faithful adaptation of its original board game. It offers plenty of room for strategic thinking that will really put your brain to the test. Thanks to the characters’ asymmetrical abilities, fast-paced gameplay, and an element of chance, it’s a highly addictive game that you’ll want to conquer again and again. Or at least try to. It’s just a shame about the annoying and inaccurate prediction of your actions, the camera that refuses to stay in the selected position, and the inability to play with teammates online.

This console version of the digital Pandemic conversion leaves a lot to be desired, with a very inaccessible setup.
