    The title shows off some really clever design work, and Rick’s ability to switch between seasons is used to great effect by the developers. Sometimes, revisiting levels to collect seeds and unlock new worlds can get a bit tedious, but the title’s strengths make it one of the better platforming options on the Switch eShop.

    Fox n Forests does a lot to appeal to your retro visual nostalgia while playing well in a modern gaming world. It is full of gorgeous pixel art visuals, nice writing, and interesting bosses. I really just wish it had some good HD Rumble and was a bit longer.

    The Fox n Forests developers set out to create something that both looks and feels right out of the 16-bit era and it’s safe to say they accomplished just that. Not only did they deliver a truly breathtaking rendition of the classic art style, but also introduced an interesting mechanic to the already familiar style of play.

    One of the better Action/Adventure games I've played in a long time. Super fun with plenty of progression.

The characters are programmed with such love and details you really feel the connection between the player and the avatar.
    The "Seasons" feature is an absolute novelty and lets you immerse deeper into the game and gives you a glance behind the curtain;)
    A MUST for Nintendo Switch!    … Full Review »
