May 26, 2026Despite a handful of frustrations, I still had a fun time with Duck Side of the Moon. Its charming world, adorable characters, and relaxing gameplay loop make it an easy game to enjoy. Especially if you like cosy exploration games with a bit of humour mixed in. The deeper themes about burnout and slowing down also helped give the adventure a little more emotional weight beneath all the space duck chaos. That said, the game’s short length and technical issues do make the price tag feel slightly steep, especially on the original Nintendo Switch. Between the grainy visuals, clipping problems, and occasional gameplay frustrations, the experience sometimes felt rough around the edges. Still, the game’s personality and charm managed to carry me through those issues more often than not. If you enjoy cosy indie adventures, this is still one worth keeping an eye on alongside all the other cosy titles releasing this year.

May 7, 2026Duck Side of the Moon is a cozy, bite-sized space adventure that leans on charm and variety more than depth. As Doug the duck, you’ll bounce between floating asteroids, help quirky rock-dwelling locals, and dip into a steady rotation of mini-games that give the small world plenty of personality. A flexible movement system keeps traversal smooth and exploration rewarding, but its shallow progression, occasional navigation frustrations, and a handful of bugs hold it back from reaching its full potential. It’s an easygoing throwback to classic family-friendly adventure games—pleasant and full of ideas, but ultimately light on impact.
