A great little pair of puzzle games here. Nothing new for owners of the iOS and Android versions, but if you don’t already have them, this is definitely worth a play.

The Framed Collection might be just another mobile port, but it is one that is right at home on the Switch. You might not spend that much time with the two games included, but you’ll enjoy every scene that you play.

Framed Collection is a welcome addition to the Switch eShop. If you've ever played them before there's no real reason to play them again on the Switch as there are only minor changes. For those who haven't, it's terrific fun while it lasts but you'll probably want to play it handheld. A terrific package.

Amazing concept and absolutely flawless execution. This two game package is a gem of extraordinary value for the Switch.

Short and fun puzzles that while they are a bit too easy are entertaining enough for about 2 or 3 hours which is the amount this game should take you

I liked the base puzzle mechanic, which was why I bought the game. That didn’t disappoint. The music fit the genre and the sound effects didn’t get in the way, so it broke even there. I liked the art style as well—it was very ‘film noire’-y, even down to the character design. And some puzzles were really good, but others were weaker. There was definitely a lack of variety, and the game is quite short. If the base mechanic had been utilized in a few other ways, with several more levels and a more fleshed out story, it would have been a bit better, but as it is it took me and my wife about three hours over two evenings—buy on sale.

I like the idea of this comics-like game. Once I finished the frame I wanted to know what's on the next one.

Despite a couple of blemishes, The FRAMED Collection is a clever and stylish addition to the Switch library. Inevitably, it’s much smoother to play with touch controls, but it’s worth seeing the bold characters and more vibrant set pieces play out on a big TV. A couple of iffy puzzles and a fairly short run time for both games shouldn’t put you off too much, as there are some excellent ideas here and a refreshingly cool overall experience.

The Framed Collection is a beautiful experiment in interactivity. The heist-comic book premise permeates every inch of these games from puzzles to story to art. A few puzzles didn't quite land for me, but the tight pacing and variety in complexity kept me engaged until the end that came too soon.

A pocket-sized noir adventure filled with genuine charm and challenge that doesn’t really feel all that comfortable on console.

If you've already played Framed 1 and 2 on mobile there's not much reason to come back, but if you haven't these are the best versions of the unique and enduring puzzle games.

A delightful puzzler in three chapters with novel comics-inspired game mechanics. Keeping this on my "replay later" list.

OK game but a bit lazy on the variety and challenge of some puzzles. Gorogoa does this in a far far better way.
