    Not my kind of game at all, the game feels like it’s played in slow motion. Almost comes off point and click game. Deleted it instantly.

    This is not an RPG, but it is a highly creative and imaginative adventure game that has some spotty controls and overly cryptic puzzles.

    Beautiful Desolation is a fantastic journey to a post-apocalyptic South Africa where the amazing story and gorgeous atmosphere are hampered somewhat by performance and gameplay issues. Because of that, finishing the game will be a wonder and a relief at the same time.

    Beautiful Desolation is a deep, intelligent, puzzle adventure presented with a unique isometric view. It’s an easy recommendation to sci-fi fans who prefer narrative over action, but the Switch is not the best way to explore this apocalyptic world.
