    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.

    Well first of all you're probably not considering buying this game for the graphics. 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.    … Expand

    Really great story, stealth and turn based battles. Probably the best turn based game on the Switch, at least that I have played. Though the graphics quality doesn't come close to the PC, I would say this is a very solid port and I enjoyed playing it for 20+ hours. It also includes all the PC DLC so you can keep going. I didn't find the first DLC to be that amazing so I dropped off afterReally great story, stealth and turn based battles. Probably the best turn based game on the Switch, at least that I have played.

    Don't believe the reviews complaining about performance as that must have been solved in an update.    … Expand

    Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden - Deluxe Edition treats the player to a very good and competent blend of exploration and strategy which coupled with its simple but compelling plot and art style helps to make a game that can easily keep the player concentrated in the game for a long time. Overall, the experience could only improve if Mutant Year Zero : Road to Eden - Deluxe Edition featured a multiplayer mode.

    This tactical action game will give you a sense of survival in a post apocalyptic world where you will apply stealth in turn-based fights to fulfill your mission, finding in your way items that you can later exchange for better weapons and more skills. Highly recommended.

    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.
