A graphic adventure with a beautiful artistic style that unfortunately are the only things that shine together with the puzzles. Its short duration and high price mean that we can not recommend it to those who are not hardcore lovers of the genre.

Earthworms has an intriguing presentation but is a little short to live long in the memory. Fortunately, finding the three endings will increase your play time.

Earthworms is, mechanically, a standard point and click adventure game with decent controls and a quality UI. But it is the general vibe of the game that makes it stand out from the crowd of other adventure titles making their way to the Switch. Non-adventure fans might want to check out the demo, to see if the story’s strangeness resonates with them, but fans of the genre should go ahead and just take the leap. While the unconventional story is meandering and sometimes obtuse, it is also bizarre and unique, making Earthworms an off-kilter game that adventure enthusiasts will probably enjoy.

it's alright kinda weird with the stuff you have to do to progress and a bit boring but you know still alright

Was looking good and the reviews were nice but... its a very generic point'n'click. The vibe is there but its mostly done by the music (composed by a rather famous video game music composer, Piotr Surmacz). Beside that - its very meh. Not good, not bad. Get a copy when discounted.

A very interesting title that achieves a disturbing and tense atmosphere during all the game. Story and visuals are the best of the game. The worst, its duration: about 5 hours if you try out the different endings of the game.

As a fan of traditional adventures games I really enjoyed it. Interesting (and getting more interesting on the way) story, good mechanics. Unusual visuals with their climate. I would gladly play something similar from this developer. Overall game could be longer (about 3 hours).
