    Snake Pass tries something new, and to slither around with Noodle is fun to begin with. Sadly, the steep and weird difficulty and strange mechanics related to the controllers make for an experience that quickly gets bogged down in a sea of annoyance and tediousness.

    Put the time into it and get used to its unconventional controls and it’ll eventually wriggle its way into your heart. [July 2017, p72]

    Testing your patience
    Ever think what it would be like to be a snake?
    Turns out it’s pretty frustrating.
    Snake Pass is a puzzle platformer snake simulator…
    You play as noodle accompanied by a bird companion
    Your only task is to collect the 3 gems spread across the different levels…
    only problem is it’s a level of posts.. and you gotta get your snake on to climb them…
    This game doesn’t seem to challenging at first…
    It isn’t until the 2nd world out of 4 that your realize this games gonna have you throwing things…
    There are 15 levels total that will all take a variety of different times depending on luck and how quickly you adapt to being a snake…
    I ultimately never did adapt…
    Your main mechanics are move forward... go side to side for speed, lift your head up to climb, and grip.. that’s it…
    The rest Is up to you and physics…
    The game took me a little less than 4 and a half hours to get through…
    Each of the worlds are themed after the different elements…
    earth, which is the intro…
    here you’ll just be climbing posts.. collecting the blue orbs and gold coins around…
    Water, which I felts was the hardest of the elements…
    will introduce the ability to swim under water, this is also where switches are introduced…
    you’ll be over the collectibles by then because of how frustrating climbing the poles that are now moving becomes with hazards such as spikes underneath… and the punishment of going over the same obstacles when you fall…
    Fire which is where you have to deal with lava.. A decently quick chapter…
    And finally air... youre dealing with the wind blowing, ultra frustrating, and this is when your bird friend comes in handy flying you across the different sections…
    An after you complete all of the levels for a section you unlock a time trial mode for the levels…
    I personally have no interest in the time trial mode, but the actual campaign is a great challenge that tested my patience for sure…
    Ultimately I did feel like most deaths were my fault…
    The camera doesn’t follow you automatically though…
    So most is the keyword here..
    The camera is an issue at times when you can’t see where you snake is pointed
    thankfully there’s a decent amount of checkpoints around to make it less painful…
    and you’ll need them.
    I give Snake Pass
    a 7.5/10    … Full Review »

    Flaws:
    - The camera is HORRIFYING! There is no way they thought the camera was done correctly. It bounces all over like an old N64 game!

    - Although I did mention below in my "pros" that the controls are unique, at times they feel.. i guess you could say unbalanced and inaccurate.

    - Unskippable cutscenes (this was frustrating especially if you replay levels for trophies)

    Things I did enjoy:
    - The uniqueness of controlling a snake, though it was frustrating as hell to learn.
    - The cheerful graphics/environments/characters..you get the point. It was cute. :)

    I would only recommend getting this for $10 or less. (I would have waited for it to be around $5 on the PS store during a sale had I known I wasn't going to enjoy it as much as I was hoping)    … Full Review »

    I got the switch version, and playing it on a plane or in bed or in docked mode, it's extremely fun. It's an amazing game to go with zelda, when you need a break, don't go outside, just play Snake Pass!!    … Full Review »
