Nintendo Switch 2 Reviews: Graphic Adventure and Visual Novel

Here’s the games I have reviewed so far on the Nintendo Switch in each genre, from best to worst. Note: If multiple games have the same score, they will be sorted alphabetically.

Visual Novel

GameGenreGrade
Dear Me, I Was …Visual NovelB-
tl;dr Dear Me, I Was… is a Visual Novel without words following the life of a girl and exploring her connections to art, food, and other people. This game can be completed within 45 minutes, but the $8 price tag helps to mitigate this issue. And the lack of narration and dialogue obscures the story’s details in disappointing ways, but I feel like the absolutely gorgeous artwork and soundtrack help to make up for this flaw. If you’re okay with a game that’s short and beautiful but not something likely to stay with you long after it’s over, this is definitely worth a look.

Interactive Story

GameGenreGrade
Goodnight UniverseInteractive StoryB+
tl;dr Goodnight Universe is an Interactive Story game that has players taking the role of an extraordinarily intelligent baby, contemplating his life and existence, and the struggles his household is going through. The characters and story here are really compelling, and while the gameplay leaves something to be desired, that doesn’t stop this from being a unique and wonderful experience that’s worth playing through.
