    Most of all, I marvel at how well it’s done snakes (snakes, like snakes). This could, as I say, have been all comic pratfalls and Goat Simulator destruction, but instead it’s an extremely careful study in how snakes navigate their bizarre bodies around, then transplanted into broadly well-done puzzle-places. I feel in awe of how well-realised this is, almost more than I actually enjoy it. I really do enjoy it though, so much so that I ended up picking it up for my Switch too (making it only the second game I own for Nintendo’s latest toy). Snake Pass gets an easy pass from me.

The collectibles are fun and a good portion of them are hard to reach or hidden. Each "world" adds a new element to the game which was enough to keep it fresh. Feels good to be a snake once you master the controls.

    The graphics are bright and pleasing to look, music is also really nice. I love feel good games like this!    … Full Review »

I knew it would be fun, but I didn't realise how much it would grab me. The main appeal is mastering the movement of your character, a happy snake that moves and behaves - physically - like a snake. It's not just a novelty, it's core to the why the game works. Climbing a bamboo frame, hanging over a precipitous drop to collect that coin is hair-raising stuff, especially as you have to safely make your way back to land again before it really counts (there's a checkpointing system). It's compelling! It does take a while to master the snake's more challenging movement, no doubt, but once you do the entire game opens up and feels hugely satisfying in a way that traditional platformers do not. With 16 levels of increasing size and difficulty, plus lots of non-essential collectibles to grab, the game will keep you going for many hours. Oh, and the music by David Wise is worth the asking price alone.… Full Review »
