    This games a lot of fun! I really like the unique rules and the fact that it’s easy to pickup yet has a lot of depth.

    It’s ok. The graphics are nice and the gameplay is passable but it feels strangely sterile and doesn’t have a lot of character. It also lacks depth compared to other card games I’ve played.

    Every aspect of Iris and the Giant is honed to perfection and polished to a blinding sheen. It looks great, it plays great, it has all of the amenities I could ask for in a modern roguelike, and on top of it all, it’s got a touching emotional theme that made the journey more than worthwhile by the end. Iris and the Giant is a masterclass in all aspects, and they just don’t come better than this.

    Iris and the Giant is an excellent roguelite experience wherever you play it, but the simple presentation and mechanics help it find a fitting home on Switch. Three difficulty modes, the hardest of which is unlocked after completing the main dungeon, two secondary dungeons after the first, and dozens of cards, enemies, and more to unlock give the game some real staying power. The watercolor aesthetic and haunting soundtrack contribute beautifully to the endearing story and satisfying gameplay. Some menu issues and the inability to adjust difficulty level within a save file shouldn’t hold back another strong contender for a spot in your Switch library, especially those craving that “one more run” loving feeling.
