    Fixing an internet connection or returning stone boulders to their correct place in a zen garden will provide hours of fun in either single player mode, or by inviting friends to maximise the range of destruction in the chaotic multiplayer mode. The jaunty tunes accompanying each level blend well with every single aspect of a business fully explored, which many will relate to from their own work experience, only without the additional damages. Good Job is an excellent "job" for any game collection.

    Good Job! does a great job at being a whimsical little experience that's bound to keep you hooked with cathartic destruction, intuitive design, and soothing presentation.

    Nice job! is the best, or at least, one of the best 'puzzle' titles you can find on Nintendo Switch right now: it's fun, it has personality, everything works. A very original proposal.

    Good Job! is a funny and chaotic puzzle game, with a unique setting and multiple ways to accomplish your objectives. It might be a bit simple for puzzling veterans, but for some lighthearted family entertainment it's perfect.

    Very early on, I knew that Good Job! was special, but it captured my attention from the bottom floor all the way up to the penthouse. The rudimentary presentation truly complements the humor of the physics and the fun of completing the objectives. Every floor of the office tower feels fresh, and reaching the end of the game brought both great satisfaction and also that bittersweet realization that I was finished with another wonderful gaming experience. Minor issues such as not being able to control the camera and occasionally finicky controls fail to hamper a thoroughly enjoyable puzzle game. If you are looking for a charming, funny, and innovative new game to play while cooped up inside, Good Job! represents one of the best candidates for the position.

    Good Job! Is a wonderful surprise that everyone should try out. Thanks to its hilarious physics, seemingly menial tasks have the potential to descend into utter carnage – whether intentional or not – and its grading system means there are plenty of opportunities to replay. Slight technical hiccups aside, its arrival comes at a time when we all could do with a bit of a laugh, and Good Job! is absolutely guaranteed to do just that.

    Good Job is a great puzzle game with a lot of humor and the appetite for destruction.

    Good Job! is a crazy "working class" puzzle where you accomplish daily tasks (bring Wi-Fi to an area, clean de dirty floor...) with methods as destructive as very uncommon. All with very attractive visuals, local co-op and other nice touches that make it very attractive, especially for those who are looking for fresh and original experiences.

    Good Job! takes the pretty mundane day to day tasks of a business and turns them into chaotic and messy affairs that for the most part turn out both surprisingly entertaining and even laugh out loud funny. As far as shadow drops go after a Nintendo Direct (or in this case a Nintendo Direct Mini) Good Job! is not only one of the more surprising ideas but one of the better ones too.

    The wacky corporate world of Good Job! is so much fun to play around within that I highly recommend it to any sandbox puzzler fan.

    Paladin Studios highlights that work can be a comical and exhilarating experience - even more through collaboration - with such cleverly used tools to manage somehow complicated, if not explosive situations. Despite the deliberate lack of character, it's indeed a Good Job!

    Good Job! is really a good job in terms of development and enjoyment, even more if you play it in coop. Definitely, a little surprise for Nintendo Switch.

    Fun and entertaining, Good Job! is a title to play for its charm and scope, little but well refined. A simple yet great experience.

    If you want to get the most out of Good Job!, forget trying to get the best score possible and just have a blast wrecking up your dad's company as this commentary on nepotism slowly plays out. That's when the game is at its best. Save those "S" rankings for a second run through.

    Good Job! is chaos, but the best type of chaos. We’ve had a great time with its crazy concept, both playing coop and solo, and we definitely recommend it to those looking for this type of game.

    Perhaps appropriately, it is merely a "good" game. [Issue #47 – July/August 2020, p. 20]

    Any task in Good Job! is guaranteed to get out of hand and that is so much fun. Completing your task despite your own clumsiness and a completely ruined office is accompanied by a surprising amount of variety and original puzzles in this game.

    Good Job! is a fun game that offers us infinite possibilities to complete the missions that we have to carry out. Although the controls are sometimes not very intuitive, this is a very entertaining title whether we play it alone or with friends.

    As is Good Job! it remains an interesting and well packaged product, but ultimately also a little "light". In short, net of a not very popular price, a side dish not bad to alternate perhaps with much more structured and demanding experiences.

    Good Job! is a stylish and insanely fun puzzle game that sometimes feels like a simple project for mobile phones, desperately trying to reach the level of consoles. The game does not have any entry threshold, you will learn almost all the gameplay mechanics in just a couple of minutes and will be able to have fun alone or with friends.

    There’s a lot of gameplay ideas here but I’d rather the game was a half shorter, so that it would constantly surprise the player. [06/2020, p.45]

    Good Job! is another left-field Nintendo idea which offers fun and charming puzzling action. It’s not flawless, with some irritating controls and things having a tendency to find themselves stuck. But it’s certainly worth having.

    Good Job! is a game that allows you to complete stressful jobs or puzzles simply by completely demolishing the environment. Tearing apart everything you see in an office can be fun indeed, and some of the stages have great design. That said, ironically Good Job! reminds you that destruction can get boring when no one is trying to stop you.

    As far as physics puzzling games go, Good Job! does a pretty good job of it. There's a few rough edges and occasional annoyances from the genre as a whole, but with a quirky set up and visual style, there's fun to be had climbing this particular corporate ladder.

    It finds a middle ground between being a destructive playground and an inventive puzzler, with enough variety throughout to make its brief playtime feel well-balanced. You certainly aren't the best person for any of the jobs you're thrust into, but it's a lot of the fun bumbling your way through it all anyway and still getting the job done at the end of the day.

    A nice little game, but one that mainly benefits from the light that Nintendo gives it.

    Good Job! could have been a nice puzzle-game, or a nice demolition derby sandbox, but by trying to be both, it misses out of the fun, and feels pretty dull quite quickly.

    It’s not one of my favorite indie puzzlers on the Switch right now but if you’re someone who wants a quick and silly physics-based game to play with a friend, it’s fine for that but I wouldn’t rush out to buy it.

    Why it truly sings, I think, is because the game has created such a perfectly irritating place: a place where photocopiers won't fit through doorways and wi-fi routers miss huge swathes of the office. Good Job weaponises your frustrations with the real world, and the glory here, of course, is that you can do things about it all. You can fire photocopiers through walls and push docile colleagues around on their chairs until they have the signal their devices require.

    It’s a great game for the moment, where many people are stuck at home looking for entertainment. Miss the day-to-day hustle and bustle of your 9-to-5 cubicle or loading dock? Good Job! will scratch that itch — or at least let you take out your frustrations in chaotic fashion by destroying the office complex you can’t get to. Each level is also just a few minutes long, making it a great choice to pick up and play if you need a quick break from working from home.

    It feels "Rough around the edges", it feels like it's not been made "easy" for you.
    The controls are weird and not very sharp, the physics is awkward at best but that is half of the fun.

    You have to move an object from "Point A" vs "Point B", How? Just show us!
    It feels like there's no "right" way to do what you're asked!
    I feel like you'd look at 20 people clearing the same level and might have been done a dozen different ways!
    You can either try and solve everything in a nice and logic manner or you can just wreck havoc and be a total @$$! haha!

    This is a kind of game I like to call a "Filler".
    You know, the kind of game that is fun for an hour in between other more "serious" games.

    If you liked "Human fall flat" you'll love this.
    If you love this game and didn't play "Human fall flat" then you should!

    Edit : Came back to give it a 9.0 instead of an 8.0 cause now that I played it a bit more, I find it even more fun and hilarious!!

    I wanted to like this game. Nintendo Direct really made it for me: looks fun, interesting design choices, messy and funny. But in the end, theI wanted to like this game. Nintendo Direct really made it for me: looks fun, interesting design choices, messy and funny. But in the end, the controls feel clumsy (and I understand it's part of the idea, but it also feels that some improvements could be made), the gameplay is repetitive and it doesn't have much to offer past the 2nd or 3rd hour of playing.

    For its price, the game delivers just so. After playing for a while, I just didn't see myself playing this again. All in all, it's fun but not for long. Switch has a great variety of games and I would rather suggest you spend your money elsewhere.

    Too much bugs, useless multiplayer. Overprice for that **** I want my money back.
