    Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a great game. The familiar tactical combat is fun, challenging and offers genuinely thrilling gameplay. The lore of the world is fascinating and the characters are well-written with charming personalities. Plus the exploration and upgrade cycle of the gameplay loop is thoroughly engaging. Unfortunately, for the Nintendo Switch version of the game all of this is spoiled by blurry visuals, ugly textures and various performance issues. I heartily recommend picking up Mutant Year Zero on the PC or your console of choice, however the Switch version just isn’t worth your time.

It's because you'd heard it was one of the better turn based strategy games around and here it is for the switch.

    I've been playing it a bunch in both docked and portable, and it is a perfect game for the device. On a big screen it's art design shines through and in portable mode it is perfectly functional if a little muddy and jaggy, but it's gameplay suits portable play very well.

    Maybe some of the people giving it zeroes or ones for bad graphics could stop being such entitled asses, and support developers efforts to support the Switch. They're just a bunch of people working hard to make the things you supposedly love.    … Full Review »

    DO NOT BUY THIS GAME ON SWITCH! The graphics are all a massive downgrade, even for a Switch game. The total file size for the Switch versionDO NOT BUY THIS GAME ON SWITCH! The graphics are all a massive downgrade, even for a Switch game. The total file size for the Switch version is 5.4 GB. If you buy this game on cart you will be forced to download a 3GB file from Nintendo or you won't be able to play the game. That's right, the cheap bastards that published this game on Switch bought a 2 GB cart, and expect people to download over half of the physical game! Ridiculous!… Full Review »

    Absolutely brilliant game that has horrible graphics on Switch.
    Unfair to rate down the game because of the bad port, but better enjoy it on    Absolutely brilliant game that has horrible graphics on Switch.
    Unfair to rate down the game because of the bad port, but better enjoy it on some other platform.

    The graphics are that bad that you often can't see where the loot is - which is essential for survival in the game.    … Full Review »
