    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
    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.
