    I really wanted to love Kao the Kangaroo. And while I did enjoy parts of it, the severe glitch I encountered kept me from progressing like I had expected to and effectively kept me from actually beating the game.

    The game is fun, it has some of the old Kao vibe. The performance on Switch is quite poor, with lots of lagging on many occasions. That doesn't make the game unplayable though and I still had good time with it.    … Full Review »
