    Once I got over the initial hump and learned its systems, Evolution genuinely surprised me with its depth of strategy and breadth of content. The Switch version leaves a lot to be desired in terms of performance, and for now, despite my usual misgivings of the platform, I’d honestly recommend the mobile version. But if Evolution wants to survive on Switch in the wilds of the eShop, it would be wise to take a queue from nature and find a way to adapt.

    While not as seamless as A Game of Thrones: The Board Game in its overall playability, Evolution Board Game does present a well-thought-out attempt at bringing a board game from the coffee table to the Nintendo Switch. If Evolution Board Game had spent more time on the offline co-op play, the game could have really been amazing, but with an AI opponent for most matches that don't require the internet, players may find that the original tabletop edition has more to offer as a family game.

In handheld mode it's crippled by a truly microscopic font size (even by Switch standards) that makes it impossible to read most of the things you need to play. To make matters worse, it's not compatible with the Switch Pro Controller, so you can't even take advantage of the best part of playing the Switch in docked mode. Combined, these problems evolve a promising game into a title I can only recommend buying if it's on sale for $10 or less.… Full Review »
