    Georifters may look like a kid-oriented game but that should not deceive anyone, this is a challenging game that starts off as accessible but quickly grows into multiple possibilities for puzzle solving, with an intuitive gameplay and smart puzzles to solve. While the beginning of the game may feel rather slow, this is an experience that fits well in the Nintendo Switch catalogue, whether solo or multiplayer.

    Georifters has good things going for it but it definitely needs some tweaking, especially for veteran fans of the genre. That said, I would certainly recommend this game for families, especially those with young kids as the art style does feel like it caters to children more. Adventure mode can be a fun couch co-op experience but I wouldn’t be surprised if Battle Ground mode would be the one played more often.

    Georifters is fun with friends, but it's slow pace and rough character models mean it just can't hang in a crowded cooperative marketplace.

    There are three stages to playing Georifters. First, your eyeballs get assaulted. Then, briefly, you get used to the hideousness, and you can focus on playing the game. This, unfortunately, is the shortest stage, and quickly gives way to boredom, as you realize there’s not much here worth doing for any length of time. Given all the excellent puzzle-platformers on the Switch, that means you can safely avoid this one.

    Georifters has some good puzzle ideas at its core but becomes repetitive too soon. Multiplayer offers more entertainment, but the price is too high to make this title worthy of your time. This sweet snack lacks bite.

    Georifters has good ideas on paper but ultimately, it all feels rather tedious. If you’re searching for new kid-friendly multiplayer games, there are better experiences available and at a lower cost, making this hard to recommend by comparison. Should those options already be exhausted, Georifters does have some fun moments within its Adventure Mode co-op while the Battle Arena mode offers competitive fun. But ultimately, those seeking a new puzzle-platforming fix would be better off looking elsewhere.
