Here’s the games I have reviewed so far on the Nintendo Switch in this genre, from best to worst. Note: If multiple games have the same score, they will be sorted alphabetically.
Puzzle-Platformers
| Game | Genre | Grade |
|---|---|---|
| Braid, Anniversary Edition – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition | Puzzle-Platformer | A |
tl;drBraid is a Puzzle-Platformer about a man trying to undo the problems of his past and reunite with his girlfriend, with this taking the form of a game about manipulating time. As in its original release, this game features some truly incredible puzzle design and a gorgeous presentation that looks even better in this release, and it’s joined by new levels and over 12 hours of commentary, with even more commentary in the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. All of this adds up to what is truly the definitive version of an absolute must-play Puzzle-Platformer. | ||
| Human Fall Flat – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition | 3D Platformer / Puzzle-Platformer | C+ |
tl;drHuman: Fall Flat is a 3D Platformer and physics-based Puzzle-Platformer where players must make use of the game’s heavily physics-based nature to reach the end of each level. These sandbox-style elements are absolutely delightful and make for some truly joyous moments, but that joy is heavily marred by this game’s poor and frustrating controls. This is a divisive game, and more than most games I can’t tell you whether you’re likely to enjoy it. Just know that this game has some really rewarding gameplay, but you have to put up with a lot of frustration to get to it. | ||
