    Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a real shining gem to be set in the glorious history of the genus to which it belongs.

    With no other Switch functionality like touchscreens (which, again, would work really, really well here), and with such a horrendous downgrade, it’s really hard to recommend Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden even to people who don’t own the other consoles. If you can get past the visuals, then there’s a great adventure here with a big heart and a compelling story, but I think for many people that’s going to be a big ask.

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.

    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.
