Here’s the games I have reviewed so far on the Nintendo Switch 2 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;dr Braid 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.
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book	Platformer / Puzzle	B-
tl;dr Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a Platformer with strong Puzzle elements that takes the typical Yoshi gameplay formula, removes any semblance of difficulty, and instead uses the Platforming as a delivery implement for the Puzzle gameplay, which works out to “try a bunch of stuff with this game’s odd creatures and see what happens”. Older players are likely to be frustrated and bored with this game, but youngsters may find it to be a delightfully inventive introduction to the Platformer genre.
Human Fall Flat – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition	3D Platformer / Puzzle-Platformer	C+
tl;dr Human: 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.
