Nintendo Switch User Reviews

This game is very charming. I was smiling if not laughing at most interactions. It is fun to figure out and explore. I did beat this game in shy of 3 hours so it is a very brief experience but I enjoyed all of it. The only downside is the camera has very little room to move and the map is difficult to navigate after the very beginning.

A Short Hike es un juego que te caliente por dentro, es cortito y enternecedor. No necesita ir más allá para que todos los elementos que introduce interactúen mágicamente. Los controles se sienten robustos y todo lo demás, desde la estética a los minijuegos, es encantador. Uno de los grandes títulos del mercado independiente en los últimos años. Además de la "historia" principal, ofrece contenidos adicionales que hacen de la experiencia un constante volver a experimentar la isla. Hay muchos motivos para jugarlo una y otra vez sin sentir cansancio.

I liked the game, the "story" is fun and its very short, as in the title says, but it has a lot of things in the map, and the end is perfect.

i'd give it a 10 if the game lasted longer! Loved the vibes, loved the calm and funny interactions. One of my top three switch games!

A relaxing quest that is still engaging. Meet some fun characters and do some fun mini game like activities while you progress on your main mission to ascend a mountain. Probably qualifies as a cosy game. I switched of the pixel look. It looks cool, but in the long run I preferred the Windwaker like cel-shaded look. I also think this is suitable for kids, as there is no stressful element and it is friendly.

OMG IT'S SO CUTE Nothing huge, nothing revolutionary. Just a short, self-aware, fun, cozy little game about hiking. Beautifully designed, funny, and just overall super cute. The minus half a star is because of the horrendous camera, however. It's so inconvenient and it's hard to find anything at all with it.

Feels like Mario 64 mixed with Animal Crossing. It's fun and relaxing to explore the little island set and interact with the characters. It's way WAY too short though. Can be beaten is less than 2 hours

J’ai passé un excellent moment sur le jeu. Un peu plus d’espace à découvrir et un gameplay plus évolutif m’aurai encore plus accroché.

Wanna take a break ? This game is for you if you want to chill one day. I really loved play this game.

This is the best short open world game. Lots of minigames, good emotional story, things to collect etc. The only real downside is maybe that it's short so not a lot of meat to it.

Summary: A charming little game in a world of time hungry beasts. I really enjoyed A Short Hike. The title is self descriptive, it is s short little game about going for a walk. That doesn't mean it lacks any depth though! You are just not saving The World for the hundredth time. I loved the lack of pressure. There also wasn't any filler, the game expertly achieve the feeling of fulfillment with every, even tiny, task. The character withing is really good, with all the quirks and personality behind every NPC. Honestly, most of the time, it didn't even feel like playing a game! I felt like i was talking with real people, and walking up a real mountain. To this day sometimes I just open the game, just to sit somewhere and watch the scenery.

Played on Steam. Finished in a single sitting. Absolutely charming, emotionally moving, and perfect. Have purchased for several other people who are also now fans. Amazing accomplishment.

I loved A Short Hike for its peaceful vibe, charming art style, and the joy of exploring at my own pace. It’s a cozy adventure that made me feel relaxed, curious, and genuinely happy.

For me the perfect game for Nintendo Switch. The right example if you want to play something relaxing, carefree, without too many pretensions and with simple graphics.

The title itself describes the game. It's short, little adventure. Doesn't get much more complex than that. It's definitely cozy but doesn't stick much after you finish it. 88 score is too much for this game IMO

People who gave this game less than eight don't know what they're saying because this game is fantastic, has a great story, great gameplay, great world, great characters, everything.

30 years on this Earth and A Short Hike makes me glad to be a gamer. Overwhelmingly brilliant, and that's not even regarding the development team of what, 1 man and a composer? The theme and charm of Animal Crossing expressed as an Adventure game: -it has the best gliding in any game ever -an excellent LAYERED soundtrack -fantastic storytelling for the level of a basic premise (AAA devs TAKE NOTE) -down-to-earth (often funny) dialogue from a cozy cast of NPCs -lush visuals. A top-down, open world, non-linear Platformer Adventure game- an introspective journey away from city life to find oneself indulging nature amidst looming teenage angst and family turmoil. Claire must explore to earn Golden Feathers and further increase her climbing stamina (and glide time) to ascend a conflicting mountain peak at the heart of the game's richly-spoiled, forest-laden world. Aside from the backend of the map being an unworkable cliff-face, the game is otherwise utterly flawless. One of the best games ever made, easily. The game is around 4 hours long, 6 to 100% completion. As long as it needs to be, and short enough to ingrain itself in your brain for years. Always leave the audience wanting more and never outstay your welcome. A f* Masterpiece of fun.

Cute graphics and charming characters. Very fun and creative. The story is so cute and sends us a beautiful message. Very cozy game!

Such a wonderful, peaceful, and enjoyable experience. I absolutely loved this game. The music, writing, gameplay, and graphics were all perfect. Highly recommended.

( sorry for bad english im french) A short hike is a very unique game that i loved playing. like is title says, the game is "a short hike" but a long journey in the reflexion about how this game can relax and change the mindset of someone who discovers it.I started the game with no big interest in, the title just gave me curiosity but i have no regret playing it. The game is very smooth to play and with funny caracters. there is also very good music and a good story. in the 48 i played there was 0 minutes of boring. thanks

Un juego encantador para jugarlo en una ****. Tanto la música como el diseño artístico son increíbles. Este es un ejemplo que demuestra que no hace falta jugar un juego largo y con buenos gráficos para disfrutar:

Absolutely wonderful little game. Simple gameplay mechanics. A fun and moving story in a short and effective package.

Un jeu indépendant, sous toutes ses coutures. Destinés aux plus jeunes, il reprends les framerates pixellisés dans le but de construite une histoire mignonne. Le jeu se fait rapidement, le but principal étant de gravir la montagne centrale de l'ile. Les mécaniques sont bonnes, sans être exceptionnelles, et l'exploration et la recherche peut vite se trouver lassante. Un bon titre, qui séduira les plus jeunes d'entre nous, mais sans plus.

Simplemente precioso este juego, es súper cortito pero vale mucho la pena por sus misiones secundarias y su hermoso gameplay y soundtrack.

This game is short but worth it! A beautiful immersive game with pretty colors, funny dialog, fun adventurous, and a great story. 9/10

One of my favourite games i have ever played.Truly worth every dollar and every cent.

Favorite game ever, such a cute game that accomplishes everything its needs to. Masterpiece!

Jogo muito fofinho e bem divertido, queria que fosse maior mas como ta no nome é pra ser curto

namoral esse jogo é maneiro,super divertido e relaxante pra acalmar a mente. a história de evolução da personagem ser super emocionante quando ela chega no topo da montanha serio cara a simbologia por trás muito louco. os personagens também cada um mais resenha tipo aquele urso que fica no topo na fogueira sério resenha demais as coisas pra se fazer como regar as flores e coletar as penas alem das missões secundária caraca mané to lembrando das de barco serio maneiro demais. um jogo super sentimental que fala sobre se auto aceitar do seu jeito serio me pegou legal ta. e finalizando a short hike é um jogo que eu super recomendo para todo mundo e comigo ele tem um 9. então foi isso galera espero que tenha gostado antes de sair seria de extrema ajuda você deixar um like se inscrever e até comentar a sua review ai, lembrando que o gameplayrj tem 7 videos ou m ais por dias,aquele abraço vlw flw.

Relaxing and fun adventure gaming experience. perfect for all ages. I had a ton of fun exploring. Interesting story with engaging dialogue that doesn’t get in the way of gameplay.

What you take away from this game will likely be a result of how you play it. The first time I played A Short Hike, I made my way straight the final goal quickly. I finished it in about an hour. I thought the game was okay, but nothing special. I tried playing it a second time a few weeks ago, and I finished it with a much more positive opinion. This time, I took my time to explore the island, get to know characters, and finish the side quests. I was surprised at how many little things densely populated the small island. I'm still not sure if I found them all. Experiencing a lot of the adventures on the island will add to the ending of the game. My suggestion is to take your time with this one in order to get the most out of it.

Exactly what you hope for when you think "cozy, indie game" except not nearly as twee. The premise is that you are trying to hike up a mountain, with some side quests and achievements along the way. The hiking mechanic is surprisingly accurate to what it feels like in real life, with plenty of scenic visuals that will make you pause and take a screengrab. There is no dying, so exploration and meandering is encouraged. Highly recommended for all ages from young to old, newbies or seasoned gamers who just want a break from the latest AAA.

Such a charming little game that really lives up to it's name (only takes an hour or two to complete). A perfect bite sized experience with a fitting soundtrack and nice sound design. I had a few moments where the controlls really infuriated me, other than that the game is perfect for what it is. Sadly the artstyle wasn't my thing here, though I can see plenty of people liking it.

It's an adorable little game with some simple but fun mechanics. Characters are interesting but grounded, and the story has a deceptive amount of heart. It's worth playing, especially for the finale and the veiws that come with it, but while a quality game it doesn't have that much going on

This is the best damn cozy game around, if you have a Playstation and get enough points on the app, this is an easy pick, its the cheapest reward too. It's just so charming in how it looks, sounds, reads, its not a perfect game, but I don't have it in me at all to not give it a 10

Es un juego corto que logra entregar el mensaje, donde lo mas importante no es el destino sino los amigos y experiencias que encuentras en el camino

A masterpiece of exploration and good vibes.

super détente

A Small Hike is a fun little game; visual style is nice and it's satisfying enough to spend a couple of hours with. Saying that, it is very short (as the name suggests!) and there's not enough of a pull to explore every nook and cranny.

Very short yet very sweet. While the core game can easily be completed in less than an hour, the polished controls, stylish yet retro visuals, rewarding collectibles, and endearing story make for a delightful title.

A short hike es un gran juego, a pesar de ser corto, es bastante relajante y disfrutas cada minuto de juego. El mapa de siente muy vivo y los diálogos están tan cuidados que las conversaciones con los demás animales son muy satisfactorias. La historia es muy bonita y logra emocionar, pero lo destacable de este juego es su apartado artístico, tanto en lo visual como en lo sonoro. El pixelart es muy agradable y la banda sonora es excelente. Lo recomiendo al 100%, todo el mundo debería jugarlo.

A Short Hike is a short game, but it packs a lot of enjoyment into its roughly 90 minutes of playthrough. I found it to be quite charming and very relaxing; I had a smile on my face from start to finish. For less than the price of a movie ticket, you get a delightful experience that makes a perfect palate-cleanser or just a nice way to kill time on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

This game was so refreshing to play, the fact that I could just do whatever whenever was amazing, It really emersed me in the experience, the art style is cute and fits the gameplay very well. Using the wings you collect as a progression device was executed well as the more you got the more options for exploration could be achieved, its too good.

awww I loved this game so much! Is one of my favourite in the last 10 years A magical/friendly journey Take your time, and enjoy this lovely walk

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

A short hike is good. It's relaxing, and has some enjoyable exploration. While I don't believe it's the most rewarding experience, there is a certain charm that oozes from it. It isn't anything special, but it is a fun time.

A Short Hike is a open-world exploration game that allows you to do what you want when you want to. The gameplay is fun and exciting and gives you a lot of ways to figure out how to get past the objective easily without getting annoyed. However, the game doesn't require much effort and takes not very long to fully complete the game, which is disappointing. Now, i wonder why it's called A Short Hike lol.

this game is very ugly and repetitive. the gameplay is very boring. a looking cheap game.

This game was exactly what I wanted it to be and more. It's short, relaxing and had a beautiful art style as well as interesting animal characters (which even ACNH couldn't do) Highly recommend

this game is not good. very lazy gameplay. the game is not fun and not interactive.
