    Hell Pie is an experience designed for two types of players. On the one hand, the title is aimed directly at lovers of the most aggressive and dark humor; on the other, the proposal seeks to fit in with those platform lovers who will find a different challenge here.

    Unfortunately, the Switch version fails miserably when it comes to delivering that gameplay to the player. It says a lot about the quality of the underlying game design that I kept coming back despite regularly running into issues. I’d love to speak more positively about Hell Pie, and I may very well wind up picking it up on another platform, but the compromises on Switch are going to be too much for most players. I sincerely hope this port can be salvaged through updates because I firmly believe Hell Pie is a very good game, and this version just doesn’t do it justice.

    I found enough things to like in Hell Pie that I could probably see my way to recommending it on other platforms. On Switch, there are just too many technical issues dragging down the experience for my liking. If you’re very tolerant of that kind of thing, you might still enjoy the game. It has some fun ideas, a crass but amusing sense of humor, and some interesting levels. But it’s hard to enjoy any of that when you miss a jump because the framerate took a dive and the camera went wacky at a critical moment.

I can overlook the poor resolution, but the constant major framerate dips were enough to give me a headache. Add to that a game-breaking crash that made progression impossible, and you’re looking at a dreadful port of an otherwise great game. I will certainly be going back once the promised patch drops to see if things get sorted, but for the moment you are best holding off until the state of the game improves."

Crashes, and bugs galore. Definitely got scammed on this. EDIT Two months later, and game still doesn't work. You can't play the game. These sponsored reviewers clearly didn't play for more than a couple hours, because the game crashes everytime with no work around. They refuse to refund, and are still selling it to other unknowing people.… Full Review »
