Pros
- This was one of those perfect for gamepass games imo, at least at the price it launched at. Good story, characters, sound and art design. It’s a platformer with occasional combat
- This game is more Nintendo than Xbox. Absolutely the kind of game I would love to play on Switch 2.
- I loved this game on Xbox, so if they can bring it to the Switch 2 and it can perform well, I will absolutely snap it up! The playstyle would be so addicting for handheld ✨
- This game was a lot of fun. Combat wasn’t the best but the story, music and platforming were all fantastic imo
- This is truly an underrated gem of 2025, would love to play this on switch 2
Cons
- Sadly, this game can be as good as it wants to be, it's going to flop hard. The setting is rather obscure, the graphics too stylized and the stop motion the final nail in the coffin.
- I think this game has really cool vibes, I can't stand the stop motion animation (good to hear you can turn it off) and the gameplay they've showed looked pretty, idk standard action-adventure-y?

This is a great game, genuinely great. A perfect Switch game
This and South of Midnight are the only two XBox games I'm hoping come to PS5.

South of Midnight will make the jump to PS5 eventually.
