G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra is an enjoyable side-scrolling beat-‘em-up, especially for fans of the genre and the animated series, but it doesn’t go beyond being a classic, straightforward effort. The game features a solid combat system—simple yet with a touch of depth in its mechanics—and a great cast of playable characters. There are also some extra modes and secret characters to unlock, although you’ll need to grind the same levels quite a bit to unlock everything. On the Switch, the game suffers from frequent slowdowns and a few annoying bugs, which we hope can be resolved soon.
