    A pleasantly challenging platformer with adorable charm and an entertaining story. It’s a good step for younger gamers to take who might start to feel a bit old for Mario and want a challenge.

    Max: The Curse of Brotherhood brings back this creative and interesting platformer full of puzzles for its premiere in the Nintendo Switch. While this edition brings nothing different compared to the original, those who haven't had the chance to play it earlier will find a captivating, varied and fun game that will keep the players around their consoles.

    Those who previously complained about the title's lack of touch screen will be thoroughly satisfied this time around. Mind you, if you've played it already, there's not that much point grabbing it again. Despite the fact Max: The Curse of Brotherhood isn't a fantastic game, it is a great platformer/puzzler which does shine up nicely on the Switch.

    Clocking in around 10 hours, with a lot of life squeezed from the magic marker mechanic, Max’s hunt to save his brother is an adventure worth taking. Just don’t put it ahead of other platforming adventures like SteamWorld Dig 2, Sonic Mania, and so forth.

    Max: The Curse of Brotherhood is a solid puzzle game with some platforming elements, even if it isn't a particularly great platformer on its own. If you can look past the occasionally clunky controls and its inherent frustrations, you're in for a treat with the great level design.

    A great game with problems in its control as well as in its graphic engine.

    As a platform game, Max: The Curse of Brotherhood doesn't present a huge innovation to the players. But the Nintendo Switch version of the game makes the game more playable.

Replay value bajo, pues al terminar el juego no provoca seguir jugando, o por lo menos pasado un tiempo. Juego recomendado con un precio mas que justo, 15 dolares no es mucho, por eso recomiendo a los usuarios darle una oportunidad al juego.… Full Review »

Not ideal for those who like to die at each step because of hard challenges: It's a bit simple game with a funny story and action and puzzle sections, never too difficult.

    I was a bit mislead by many average reviews, but I think this game deserve attention. I'm really enjoying it on Switch. It's a game appropriate for both younger and less young people.

    Max is a wonderful and hilariously funny platformer. It has some places that could have benefitted from more polish, but they are few and far between.
