    This was something I wasn't expecting to enjoy as much as I did. It had no hype and randomly appeared on the Eshop for a big amount. After doing some research, I saw it was an indie darling and decided to give it a chance. The game gives you an awesome experience with its amazing scenery, engaging story and enjoyable monsters. I highly recommend it

    The artwork, the story, and the game play are all excellent but it's awful in one respect, hit registration. I'm stuck at the end of a chapter because the game glitches and I start swinging my weapon right through enemies and there's nothing you can do about it. It's a difficult flaw in an otherwise wonderful game.

    This game is great, the strategy is so crispy, the voice acting is great, the bosses are fun, and the graphics are a bit decent.

    The chapters grow less tame as they progress. The general uneasiness builds on itself.
    It’s a fun game, with a strong story. It’s shrouded in mysteries that grow as the game progresses.
    To be honest I was drawn in by the story and very much enjoyed the experience.

    i love the Art Style it makes it stand out and it looks good
    gameplay is just a walking sim
    story is pretty good ending was meh

    if you want to get into the Horror Genre this is probably one of the best games to start

    Fabulous art style that blends really well with Nintendos usual catalog of games, High Tension phenomenal scares, excellent characters, and good responsive controls. If you own a switch and a big fan of horror games, this is a must play!

    I really enjoyed this game. Don't understand how people can really hate this one.
    History is disturbing. Perhaps the playability it's not the best but works good for me (I am and always will be a PC and mouse player inside my heart). If you are used to play with joysticks, will work for you.

    Bendy and the Ink Machine is a decent environmental puzzle title. Sadly, though, it just doesn't work as a survival horror. There are more effective examples already available on the Switch, and you'd do well to check those out first.

    Bendy and the Ink Machine is a very intriguing game. It has an incredible visual style that is unique and certainly has some good horror elements going for it, but it, unfortunately, lets itself down in other areas. Straightforward puzzles, unwanted fetch quests and a clunky combat system really hurt the enjoyment in a big way.

    Gorgeous presentation and some genuinely creepy moments just about manage to outweigh the conventional, and mildly dated gameplay.
