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

If you get excited by quite challenging word puzzles, there’s no question this delivers…
Quirky and generally well-implemented, this variation on platforming is far from being all thumbs

Undoubtedly hoping to re-ignite the passions of old-school fans of NBA Jam, RoboDunk just can’t quite hit the mark

While there have been quite a number of solid retro point-and-click adventures on Switch, none have quite had this flavor to them
There’s no doubt that it does some things differently, and there’s merit to that, but Gunbrella just falls short of next-level greatness
Sure it plays as a reasonably approachable platformer, but they’re also pretty well a dime a dozen in the eShop so it’s underwhelming
If you’re looking for an opportunity to apply your deductive reasoning skills in search of connections and answers, this delivers
