While certainly chill, environmentally conscious, and approachable to all there’s not much excitement to be had here
While its mechanics are a mixed bag and the story and darker tone may not be for everyone, Long Gone Days does have ambition
Nothing puts a damper on a game like crash issues, but even without that this family-friendly platformer comes up short…
While old-school gamers like me may remember the name, perhaps there was a reason I didn’t remember much else…
While perhaps the Switch may not be the ideal platform for such a gorgeous and intense game, but the experience is still solid
While its roguelike twist sets it apart a little, an abundance of other Pokemon-adjacent indies and rough looks make this tough to love
This sandbox platformer has a distinct style but its freedom and lack of structure also tended to make it easy to put down
Sporting spacious stages, plenty of opportunities to grind and show your technique, and a thoroughly hip look and feel, it’s a treat
While it does deliver a mix of classic arcade-style simplicity and fun with a bit of stealth, it lacks lasting flavor
A mix of gravity complications, some shooting, and a bit of frustration initially make way for better play as you go
A mix of old-school point-and-click adventure beats mix with modern productions values and polish to make for a good time
While the musical element may sound like it would enhance play it’s more of an accessory that can’t improve generic shooting play
One of those experiences that gets better with some investment, what starts as more generic becomes something more
While mechanically it can be tricky at times as you work through larger puzzles, the dynamic nature of your mirror works nicely
While there aren’t many alternatives for trying to experience the life of a firefighter, this is hardly a polished experience
There can be a novel flow to play, mixing twin-stick shooting with an ability to redirect incoming fire, but it’s a rough ride
While it has some cute charm and plays reasonably well, against the significant competition in the space it falters
There’s a sense of freedom and fun as you’ll explore the world, and it has terrific moments, but it doesn’t all work well on Switch
When you try to blatantly rip off an arcade classic, you should at least put in a bit more effort…
If you get excited by quite challenging word puzzles, there’s no question this delivers…
