It's not skill based: You follow the arrows and press A, then listen to a joke. Sometimes there is no way to know what you need to do, but the arrows point you in the right direction. It's not always clear the exact spot you need to stand to progress. It's very automatic, mindless fun. There are occasional 3D platforming skills needed. It's basically a parody of cop movies. The locations keep changing, the dialogue is funny and it's not hard, so it's amusing. The missions can feel pretty long, however. There were also a few bugs, like during the first chase where I couldn't steer until I reset the mission manually. Pros • Fun game with funny dialogue • Fun to play lego and destroy things • Looks simple but nice Cons • Go to location, press A (very simple) • Sometimes the Switch struggles to keep up (choppy) • So automatic that you rely on it knowing what you are trying to do

It's really neat to walk around Lego worlds and see all the neat stuff the designers hide around each planet. It's fun running around and seeing the sights. I sometimes find progression hard and small randomly generated planets at the start sometimes glitch in ways that make it hard to complete. But you can always delete them and try a new one. It also took me time to realize how to generate a planet of a different type than the previous planet. Fun for the small price, but I haven't played it much since the most recent patches, and haven't progressed to larger planets. Pros • No long story, long cut scenes or walls of text • Really is Lego: runaround, build and destroy • Keeps being updated with UI improvements and upgrades Cons • Updates keep changing frame rates and draw distance • Randomly generated content is occasionally hard to complete

This was a very interesting narrative. It's about game design, personal desires, public recognition, pushing public figures and reinterpreting their creative works. Not really a game, even for a first person exploration game.

This game takes sci-fi conventions from across the broad history of books, television and movies for a great sci-fi experience. A great experience that really gets the imagination going.

The game is fine. I'm not a fan of MMO games in general, and missions seemed to be go to this location, press the action button, repeat. I also don't like that you can't pause the game when life interrupts.

This was a really interesting exploration of the tension between player choice and developers vision in game development. Hilarious, if you like dry humour. It has an hilarious demo. Very different from the game, but gives the right feel. I strongly recommend this demo, even if you have played the game.

This was a really fun tactical puzzle game. A lot like Pikmin, but with darker sense of humour.

Great strategy game in Sid Meier's tradition. Precisely what one would expect.

Really fun party game. Kind of like Cards Against Humanity but based on creativity rather than pre-set cards. Requires phones for all players and internet connection. (In fact, you can have people play from across the internet if you send them the game room code. They cannot see the scoreboard or final winners.)

A really fun first-person ray-gun based puzzle game. Best one I've played so far.

Bought this years late. The resolution stays at 4:3 making it hard to play on a laptop monitor and there is no detail at zoom levels with a broad enough view.

It's a great concept for a game, with a neat 3D mechanic. However, if you don't have consistent time to learn the geography of the world it's pretty hard to get from world to world.

It's Monopoly, but slightly faster and fun. The main gameplay takes most of the hassle out and speeds up the game. There was just enough time to say something or grab a handful of chips between turns. Unlike early reviews, the frame rate is steady and load times fixed. The game worked great with 5 people on one Switch, everyone using their own JoyCon, JoyCon Grip, Pro and 8bitdo controllers. It automatically pulled player names from user profiles, or lets you use "Player X." Problems: * Guests cannot set their name, and only the first 6 profiles can be used. * The menus for selling, mortgaging and trading take getting used and slow down the game a bit. * The bus on speed die rules doesn't always let you see where you will land. (I wish we could move the camera with the joystick.) * If you forget how much rent you have to pay, you have to exit out of the menus to sell or trade to see the amount. (Showing rent on the left, unused part of the screen would fix this.)
