Thank you for the complète review ans for letting us know you "idn’t encounter any technical issues on our OLED in almost 60 hours". I feared the Switch wasn't powerful enough, but it looks like it's optimised for Switch too. Can't wait to play this game!
It's weird you're writing the review from an adult POV. "They’re decent distractions, but ultimately minigames are games that you’ll likely play once or twice before casting them aside." This game is aimed to kids, not grown ups. Of course you'll be bored in no time, but kids can play and replay it no matter what, just "to exist in this world" as you wrote.
Full price seems too high for the content. Besides it looks like they released the game right on time for Xmas. I planned on buying it for my 7-year-old daughter. I don't know if I will or not.
Thanks for the review! It is the 2nd one I read about this game and they both prevent me from buying the game. Maybe we'll wait for a patch (or never play this game).
Finished the game on PS4. Controls are nice, but there are too few characters to play and not enough moves to really enjoy the game. As you play, the game gets boring, redundant, repetitive. Get your 3DS and an old SK game i.o. wasting your money on this one! Even on sale, there isn't much to enjoy.
@Olmectron, gameplay is simple indeed: you unlock 4 new moves by character at the beginning of the game and then no more. No other choice than spamming the same moves every time. There could have been a skill tree or idk. As it is, it's very simple. And boring.
Looks boring! We don't know how many HP are left, nor MP. The guy keeps on using spells to beat the enemies. He uses his sword once or twice for 5 minutes. Checking the good ol' time great RPG released on Game Boy, could have helped develop something way better than that! The only good thing is the dragon sprite.
I finally played this game (thanks to your review) and I love it! Looks gorgeous, gameplay and level design are great! Story is interesting, jokes are here. Everything's good! And it was developed by one man only! Congrats on him!
I read lots of good things about this game on Twitter and I was waiting for your review. It confirms this game is a gem. Can't wait to have some time to play it!
Everytime I buy a game online, it's thanks to your reviews. I decided I'd try every game which get 9 out of 10 on Nintendolife's reviews. (And sometimes games with 8 or even lower, depending on the theme, the genre, etc.) I wait for your reviews and mini-reviews every week. I'm French but I check the website almost everyday for news and reviews. I'm already satisfied with the selection of reviews you publish. But yes! Pls write some more reviews! Keep up the good work!
No way! I think I won't even play this game as I'm not into this kind of paying games. I prefer buying a full game $25 or something, rather than $5 + $5 + $5 + $5, etc.

Re: Poll: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's Free Epilogue Lands On Switch Today, Will You Be Playing It?
"free epilogue" whereas you have to pay for both DLC expansions to play it, lol!
Re: New Unicorn Overlord Trailer Showcases The Upcoming Tactical RPG's Exploration Features
Do you guys think it'll run well on Switch? Or, if I want a better experience, I should buy it on PS4?

Re: Review: Persona 5 Tactica - Thrillingly Varied Turn-Based Strategy With Joker And Co.
Can we start playing the Persona 5 licence with this game? Or should we play P5 first? Or P5R?
Re: Feature: Cassette Beasts Dev On Doing What Pokémon Doesn't In A Zelda-Inspired Overworld
Instant buy! Sounds awesome, whereas I've never been interested in Digimon or Nexomon. But it looks like this one looks and plays differently.

Looks like you forgot Hoa. I bought it (for my 5-year-old girl) as per your review, which says it's a platformer for beginners.

Re: Japan's 'Super Mario-kun' Manga Series Gets An English-Language Release For The First Time
I'm surprised it has never been published in UK. The Mario-kun Manga has been published in France (in French) and it's not that good...
Re: Review: Going Under - This Satrical Dungeon-Crawler Proves Employment Really Is A Grind
I don't understand why it's only rated 7 out of 10, whereas the review says the game is good. Anyway, I'll buy it because it appeals to me.

Not much "detailed".

Finally an accessible shmup to newcomers! (I like shmup but I am not a fan of bullet-hell or games which are too frantic.)
Re: 2020 Isn't All Bad, Because The Game Boy Is Getting A Brand-New RPG Called Dragonborne
