Nintendo Switch User Reviews

The exploration and environmental puzzles are very well thought out. The setting and dialogue are pleasant.

Sorry, but this game is for me a clear NO. It's like a copy of something that was better, but it doesn't get to the real point. It lacks originality, it's too easy. In the beginning looks like it could have a lot of potential, but it never gives you what it promises. Maybe I could imagine it was made for children, but it's just too neutral

Elli is a 3d platformer and puzzle game where you traverse through environments in order to collect crystals. To start with story. I found it unoriginal and frankly, poorly executed. The characters I felt little towards so therefore didn't overly care despite the lack of originality. The game is mostly puzzle solving and some platforming elements. For what they do it is done well. I like the gradual complexity of puzzles and mechanics you need to use to progress. Nearly everything made sense when you think about it. Some might find it too easy but it's not simple. The platforming, Elli feels fine to control and the jump is pretty good. The issue raises where there is some tight platforming and with a fixed camera it may cause falls. The good news is the checkpoints are very well placed to accommodate for this. The game is very linear in progression with no backtracking, so the levels or puzzles wont combine to a large overarching world and hence hinders the story in some way. There is no combat nor enemies, making the game feels empty. With combat and a more open interconnected world this could be amazing! The game is quite relaxing in which I need right now. Having music to keep ambience is fine but don't expect to remember it once you log off. The art style I am into and graphics are... OK but I found the Switch has minor issues in playing the game. For what the game offers is really good if you want platforming and puzzling, but I cannot help but feel if they added a few elements to make this game more complete.

A platformer worth its price. Besides some perspective issues and repetitive or tedious puzzle solving, Elli is a good game for those who are searching for a replacement for Super Mario Odyssey or the like, after they've cleared that content. A beautiful world awaits you.

I got this game because it has similarities to the Zelda games. It is a fun collecting and puzzling platformer but the camera is fixed and there are no enemies. The graphics are pretty sound effects are interesting.
