Nintendo Switch Critic Reviews

If you love 2D platformers then MagiCat is definitely one that you don't want to miss. Its tight gameplay and charming world make it one of the most enjoyable indie experiences on the Switch.

It’s definitely a solid platformer with a lot of replay value, and at a cost that is very compelling. It’s also hard and it takes more time to figure the ins and outs than it really should. For players who love platformers and don’t want a game to hold their hands, look no further. For those who want a simple, kid-friendly experience, this probably won’t do it.

MagiCat has a lot of company within the platformers' genre. It may not be an outstanding masterpiece but it does have elements going for it, such as its lifespan, a visually attractive style and a good level of challenge. It doesn't open the gates of immortality, though, as it can end up feeling too repetitive and is just not as groundbreaking as its biggest influences but that does not mean fans of platform games should not give it a chance.
