Tokyo Scramble has some neat ideas, but the frustrating gameplay, choppy performance, and poorly-written characters hold it back from succeeding as a stealth game. I hope the more inventive aspects of the game can make a return in a more polished title down the line, as Tokyo Scramble sadly isn’t worth buying for those alone.

Tokyo Scramble starts with a few interesting ideas, but it never manages to make them entertaining. Between the messy story, unclear stealth, recycled enemies, and a gameplay loop that quickly wears thin, this ends up feeling unfinished. I kept waiting for it to click, but in the end, it simply didn’t.

On paper, the Tokyo Scramble concept isn’t bad. A survival horror game with post-apocalyptic vibes and dinosaurs? Sounds like a wild ride. There are moments of creativity and clever design, but these are overshadowed by monster maze monotony. Tokyo Scramble feels half baked. It's clunky and the story pay-off for patience is not worth the investment. Exercise your own patience, Jurassic Park it for now and wait for the game to go on sale.

I actually enjoyed the game it is worth trying as something different most definitely

One of the worst games I've ever played. Do yourself a favour and skip it. Honestly it's as bad as it sound.

Tokyo Scramble had an interesting concept with stealth horror, no weapons, environmental traps, and different enemy types based on sight and sound, but the execution completely falls apart. The gameplay is rigid and built around trial and error rather than skill, the AI feels inconsistent, and most levels turn into repetitive memorization instead of tense survival. Visually, it looks dated for a Switch 2 exclusive, with blurry textures and awkward animations. The story is tonally bizarre and hard to take seriously, and the experience becomes boring long before it ends. It runs fine and is not broken, but functioning is not enough. A disappointing exclusive that never lives up to its premise.

Tokyo Scramble feels like a title scrambled together just to get a release up on the Nintendo Switch 2. Despite having some good ideas here and there, it’s overall very unpolished, messy, and full of wrinkles that shouldn’t have even left the QA stage.

Tokyo Scramble is an ambitious stealth adventure that introduces a handful of clever mechanics but struggles to unify them into a satisfying whole. While its dinosaur-infested setting and gadget-driven stealth show flashes of creativity, those moments are undermined by an incoherent story, repetitive encounters, and rough presentation. The result is a game that feels more exhausting than engaging, one that hints at a stronger experience it never quite becomes.

Tokyo Scramble is a mess of a game, and it’s not even a situation where it is so bad that some element of it is in some way enjoyable. The story is bad. The script is terrible. The stages can involve areas that are poorly designed or feature massive difficulty spikes. The multiplayer basically makes it impossible to survive. I wasted about five hours on this game that I will never get back.

Tokyo Scramble is weird enough that it is sometimes entertaining, and it's technically playable from beginning to end, but there's so little enjoyment to be had that I don't recommend it. It's the worst Switch 2 exclusive to date, and with a lineup that includes games like the boring Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour and the wildly overpriced Survival Kids, that's saying something.

Some tracks and visuals are decent. Despite being a stealth game heavily reliant on memorization by your miss, enemy actions are random, rendering player learning meaningless. After building the bare minimum strategy, all that's left is waiting to see if your prayers are answered. When you succeed, you would not feel it's because you did good.
The story fails to adequately convey the characters' thoughts and values, making me wonder if I'd mistakenly started playing a spin-off of another game.

SummaryEncounter a diverse and deadly roster of Zino—powerful, ferocious, dinosaur-like creatures. Just as humans have flourished as masters of the world above, so too have the Zino as masters of the forgotten underground world of Zipang.
