Foregone would be an otherwise cool Metroidvania-style action game, but it suffers from a notable graphical issue: when you move around, the background doesn't scroll smoothly rather it keeps stuttering in an irritating manner. I haven't tried the game on other platforms, so I don't know if it's a Switch optimization issue, but considering it's a 2D game with fairly simple pixel graphics, there should be no reason for that kind of issue to exist. You might still enjoy the game if stuttering like that doesn't bother you, but for me it was a dealbreaker.
The launch trailer seen in the article is also misleading, as it doesn't show this stutter effect, and the scrolling looks much smoother than it is when actually played on Switch. The gameplay footage in the trailer probably comes from some other platform.
