    Defense Grid 2, then, is a success, albeit not a perfect one: a fun if simple game that scratches the itch it sets out to satisfy.

It didn't do too much to change a working formula, and the continued story adds a layer of depth always lacking in games like this. Here we are now in 2019, and so what if it's being brought to the Switch this late in the game.
