    If you enjoy puzzle games and you like movies like Sin City then this is probably worth a download when it is on sale. I picked this up for $4 (mostly out of curiosity) and I had a good time with it for a few hours. I like the artwork, story and voice acting.

At first the game seemed difficult until I worked out that success depends on carefully planning big 5 or 6 tile combos rather than just chipping away with little 3 tile matches. I guess the most disappointing aspect about this game is the lack of branching paths in the story. If there were more choices for every playthrough the game would would have held my attention for much longer. I'm certainly glad I gave this game a try through.… Expand

    As a Switch port, this is very good but as a game it is not worth your time unless you’re a die hard for a Sin City like aesthetic and need a new match 3 game with it.

    Even if you don't care about the poor storytelling and juvenile understanding of the noir genre, Metropolis is still a supremely bland and uninteresting match-3 game; one that doesn't integrate the gameplay and narrative together in a particularly interesting way and yet somehow also wants people to play it four times to experience all the endings.

    If you like Sin City you have two options: to get angry because you consider that both the story and the art direction are a simple plagiarism, or enjoy it as a tribute to the comic book. In our review, we’ve been postulating for the first option. Luckily, the game has an innovative turn-based role combat system, mixed with match-3 puzzles to have fun during its short durability.
