Nov 18, 2025Goodnight Universe is a beautiful, emotional experience that goes far beyond what its striking premise suggests. The story is layered and moving, the characters feel genuinely alive, and the voice acting elevates everything even further. Visually, it’s just as impressive, with an animation-film style that shines on the Nintendo Switch 2. The lack of face-tracking functionality on Switch, available on PC, feels like a missed opportunity, especially since it fits Isaac’s abilities so well. Even so, what remains is a powerful, memorable experience, both for its emotional impact and its uniquely delivered narrative.

Dec 29, 2025A few pacing issues and action scenes take the best edge off the overall experience, but Goodnight Universe is still worth experiencing – on PSVR2 if such a rarity is still available – but even as a traditional game it's a pleasant experience.

Dec 9, 2025A delightfully quirky and heart-warming adventure that will keep you smiling long after the credits roll.

Nov 11, 2025Goodnight Universe is an enjoyable and quirky narrative adventure game that feels like a satisfying follow-up to the deeply emotional experience of Before Your Eyes. Isaac’s supernatural adventures are as entertaining as they are heartwarming, and though it isn't terribly long, it makes full use of every moment. The only major drawback here is that the Switch 2 doesn’t support the eye and face tracking control style of the PC version at launch, which notably does take away somewhat from the core experience. All the same, I’d suggest you pick up Goodnight Universe if this one has already caught your eye. It provides a memorable narrative journey and is the sort of game that you’ll still be thinking about long after putting it down.
