The game definitely gets a lot of brownie points for the combat system, which is somehow both complicated and simple, and allows players to pull off epic combos. But, I just had such a good time playing the game, and enjoy the game’s mechanics, that I feel that it does deserve to be in the list (albeit with a bit of side-eye).īefore The Witcher: Old World I’d never come across a game that tried to be so many things (RPG with skill trees, homage to a world from a series of books, deep combat, deck builder) and actually pulled it off. I have to admit that I slightly hesitated including this one in the list, just because the casual misogyny in the exploration cards is a bit gross. It will be interesting to come back in a year and see if I’m still playing it, but at the moment it’s pretty great. When was the last time you played 1-2-Switch ? Was it the week after you bought it? 1-2-Switch was essentially just a tech demo for the Switch, showing off the sensitivity of the controls, whereas Everybody 1-2-Switch still has some elements of that, but also lets you use your phone for up to 100 players at a time, as well as have 1-8 players with Joy Con. What it’s going to struggle with is longevity. It’s a game I’ve been pulling out at dinner parties and then falling over laughing, and it’s a game I took to the hospital to try and bring some levity to an otherwise scary situation. It’s like a less sarcastic Jackbox Party Pack, but much weirder and with an anthropomorphised horse with a novelty giant carrot, for some reason. What I love about it is the same thing I loved about the original 1-2-Switch : it doesn’t take itself seriously, it encourages people to get up and have fun, and it’s easy for non-gamers to pick up. Everybody 1-2-Switch was right on the edge of eligibility, coming out on the last day of June.
