Linn: Path of Orchards

Linn: Path of Orchards looks and sounds fine, but it's such a banal gameplay experience that we can't recommend it in good conscience. It's surprisingly slick, but said slickness is in service of a game that's simultaneously completely unfair and far too easy. Unclear rules, unpredictable deaths and unacceptable controls make this an easy skip. There's potential here, but it's just too flawed to flourish. A sequel that's built from the ground up for Switch could be something special, but for now, it's a reluctant thumbs-down from us.
