    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me get it straight. This game is not for everyone. It has absurd gameplay and weird camera angles, and it is hard to get used to the control scheme at first. The movement is also pretty weird, and that’s part of the gameplay. You play as an old person, starting by trying to get out of your room. You destroy things and kill random people to complete missions or just to have fun! Plus, you can get yourself killed pretty easily as well. You can expect blood — lots of it! There is no much logic to the game. That’s the purpose of the game!

    Here’s my impression. The visual is just okay on Switch. The music is serviceable for the game — nothing groundbreaking, and I don’t expect more than that. I find it fun to play the game when I’m bored. It’s a great way to kill time in a short sitting. But for long play, the game feels repetitive quickly. Similar games that I can think of include Human: Fall Flat, Goat Simulator, and Totally Reliable Delivery Service.

    Overall, it is 5/10 from me.    … Expand

    Whether you call them weirdo physics games, chaos sandboxes, or just a crazy time, games in the vein of the somewhat infamous Goat Simulator and its ilk are kind of hard to put a finger on. Deliberately sloppy and silly, the entertainment value you can derive from them will tend to vary pretty wildly, but that isn’t to say you can’t clearly judge some better than others.

Deliberately sloppy and silly, the entertainment value you can derive from them will tend to vary pretty wildly, but that isn’t to say you can’t clearly judge some better than others. In principle, Just Die Already has a good core idea… putting senior citizens into the place of the protagonists to let them wreak Early Bird havok on the streets. In execution in this specific case though? Eh, it has its moments but too often it feels like the burden of making it more fun is put on the player without as many terrifically ripe opportunities for silliness just waiting for you to find when compared to its competition in the eShop. Sure, there are some amusing cheap shots and zingers here but it wears thin a bit quicker than the average for the genre so you’ll need to consider it carefully even if you’re normally a fan.

    One of the wackiest games ever made there is a lot of fun to be had but it's lack of local co-op and very small map drag this game down a bit but for a small game it's good.

    Just Die Already is weird and crazy, but the novelty and the fun wears off quite quickly. It seems like a game made for streamers, which might fail to offer anything to more traditional players.
