    Si seulement j'avais jeté un œil sur les critiques avant de ma lancer.
    Le contrôle est exclusivement tactile, donc pas du tout adapté aux doigts. De plus, certaines actions présentent dans le tuto ne le sont plus une fois dans la campagne.

    The pacht let the controls more responsive, but you can´t compare with mouse. The game is much more depper than it looks. But it have some issue who looks unfinished. The car when fallen on water you not fell the water, this is very odd, it will be much more cool with you have atricto. When you change the camera on construction mode, the bridg is not in the right places, and it is very oddThe pacht let the controls more responsive, but you can´t compare with mouse.

    Edit: They fixed many of the issues with the controls (in the docked mode where I played the game again after the update.) Now the game is totally playable & I have to admit I'm kinda ok with the 15$ I spent on it! whenever I play in the hand-held mode I will reedit this review to fully reflect my opinion of the game!

    there's still one issue I find with controls & that is some of the controls on the top of the screen, which I find myself using quite often, don't have shortcuts on the controller nor they can be reached with directional buttons on the left joy-con so you have to constantly mouseover them; it gets annoying fast but doesn't even remotely renders the game unplayable!

    Horrible control scheme in docked mode! Literally unplayable! Can't find the select menu to delete or copy parts in handheld mode! There are 12 buttons, 2 analogue sticks and 4 triggers on the joy-cons and this is the control scheme they decided to go with! Just disappointing! Was looking for this on the Switch for a while and bought it as soon as it came out; couldn't be more disappointed!    … Expand

    What a coincidence that the review below me absolutely hated the docked controls- I for one absolutely despise the handheld controls. Unresponsive as hell touchscreen- the controls that you are taught as the game holds your hand in the tutorial simply do not work in the actual game. Try splitting a point into two- nope, you can't! Try deleting individual pieces- nope, you have to selectWhat a coincidence that the review below me absolutely hated the docked controls- I for one absolutely despise the handheld controls. Unresponsive as hell touchscreen- the controls that you are taught as the game holds your hand in the tutorial simply do not work in the actual game. Try splitting a point into two- nope, you can't! Try deleting individual pieces- nope, you have to select big sections and delete those! Want to just use the analog sticks and buttons like you might in docked mode instead? Nope, the game has no option and insists that it's horrendous touch controls are better. Maybe it might make more sense if the game actually had a mode to just tell you what the control scheme is, but it simply does not. A great shame, as if this was handled Poly Bridge is a great game. Do not recommend it on Switch, however, go buy it for PC instead.… Expand

    Awful awful control schemes - touchscreen mode is very fiddly and hard to use as the action takes place underneath your finger. Joycon mode is terribly frustrating. On top of which there are bugs galore - the most serious of which makes one of the early levels impossible to complete. Such a shame as this could have been a good game but it's been bungled.

    It looks like all the control issues have been resolved. Using the touch screen in handheld mode works best (for me) but the joycons or pro controllers work fine.

    This is one of the better engineering puzzle games I've played, and it's awesome that it's on the switch.

    Poly Bridge provides to the player an extremely in-depth tool-set that is only limited by creativity, or, in quite a few cases, understanding of the mechanics. For those hungry to build bridges, it's an essential purchase. If you don't like the look of the challenge however, it may be water under the bridge.

    Poly Bridge takes an interesting gameplay concept and pairs it with a simply charming presentation. With all the building blocks in place, it seems like we’d have a great physics based puzzle game that allows freedom and creativity on our hands. However a rushed port with horrendous controls and a game altering bug turn this into an utterly frustrating experience on the Switch. It’s almost impossible to recommend in its current state, but with promised patches coming, all hope might not be lost. Keep your eyes out for our thoughts on future patches/updates as they release.​

    Poly Bridge is a great game because it can both be played in small chunks in between longer gaming sessions or for a quick pick-up-and-play experience but can also be the type of experience you can sink a lot of time and effort into and not get bored with. With an easy to use control scheme (so long as you stick to the touch screen), an appealing presentation and open-ended solutions, Poly Bridge is a game worth coming back to again and again.
