    Historia entretenida, buenas opciones de jugabilidad como el uso del táctil, que están bien implementadas, gráficos adecuados, buena fluidez y banda sonora aceptable. 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 unaHistoria entretenida, buenas opciones de jugabilidad como el uso del táctil, que están bien implementadas, gráficos adecuados, buena fluidez y banda sonora aceptable.

    Max: The Curse of Brotherhood has been brought to the Switch fantastically well and the fact it now has a physical release certainly means the developers have done a great job of it.

The game looks brilliant and still holds up against some of the other platformers we have today even after 5 years. There are a few graphics issues from time to time to contend with, but nothing major that will make you quit. The introduction of using the touchscreen for the magic marker is another great addition even though some people may find easier to use the buttons. Overall, this is a great game and most certainly one I would recommend putting on your ‘to do’ list.… Expand

    Max: The Curse of Brotherhood has been out some time and this review is based on the Switch physical release.

    I got this game on sale and finally got to play it.
    I enjoyed the game as it was a side scrolling puzzle game. If you are expecting a game with power-ups and fighting enemies, this may not be the game for you.

    My issue with the graphics and level design is, you cannot distinguish between what is a platform and what is cosmetic that the player cannot interact with
    You gradually get new abilities in the game and the puzzles can be a head scratcher. The game does encourage you to try creative ways to get though.
    The length is appropriate, especially for what I paid (about $7 USD) and highly recommended at that price.    … Expand

    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.

    It's a very good game with a lot of personality. 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.

    Overall, Max: The Curse of Brotherhood is a great game that feels like it’s really found a home on Switch. I’m glad that Press Play was able to bring the title to Nintendo’s latest console, as the form factor of Switch really meshes well with it. Whether at home or on the go, I found myself transfixed to The Curse of Brotherhood for long stretches, tackling each new puzzle and always thinking, I’ll just do one more… but always instead ending up doing several, if not dozens, more.

    Max: The Curse of Brotherhood is a game I hadn't expected to enjoy as much as I did. Its shallow story failed to hook me, and its initial levels had me wondering if that is all there is to the game. However, the more I played, the deeper and more enriching its mechanics became, and the more I looked forward to each successive puzzle. While a bit unrefined and lacking a coat of polish, Max: The Curse of Brotherhood is a challenging and entertaining experience for those looking to kill a few hours on their Switch.

    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.
