I have never played a game as awful as this one. For a good $5 on the Nintendo eShop, it may be a cheap price but the game feels more like 50¢ than $5. This was (sadly) the first game I played on my Nintendo Switch when I got it December 2017 and I was attracted to the visuals and the art style the game had. Let’s just say that’s all the game had going for it. While the premise of the game was simple and easy to understand, the controls were the opposite. It looked like the kind of game that would be like a mobile game so I expected touchscreen controls when not in docked mode, but in all modes - it’s this weird control scheme that was hard to understand. While games like Mario Odyssey had easy to pick up controls, this game had me going back again and again to the tutorial just to even understand this control scheme. Then there’s the gameplay itself that I can’t even get started on how bad it is. While the idea sounds good on paper, flying around on a broom collecting letters while avoiding obstacles — it wasn’t good in practice when playing with the control scheme mentioned in the paragraph above. It was hard to control Maria while on her broom, going every which way besides the one that you wanted to go. The most gameplay I got out of this was hitting things and having to click the retry button! While I luckily have gotten and played games on my Switch better and actually playable than this one, I still cannot shake how terrible this game is. I picked it up again recently hoping my opinion would change and yet it stayed the same. 1/10
