    Radiation Island is a good survival horror premise that sadly never delivers. We are unsure if the game will continue to see future support and updates to better streamline the entire experience, possibly leaving it in this limbo state on Switch forever and as such our final score reflects the game’s current state. It's a shame Atypical Games decided to bring this game to Switch before other games in its catalogue as it sets a dangerous precedent on the eShop. Buyer’s beware: the titular radiation is the least of your worries on this island... but that hole it will leave on your wallet most certainly is.

    Atypical Games obviously put a lot of effort into making Radiation Island stand out among the recent flood of survival games from indie developers and I applaud them for it, but the Switch version is a deeply disappointing port in desperate need of major patches.

The game is incredibly boring, often offers nothing to do but grinding for resources or struggling to kill but the simplest of enemies. The progression system in the game feels all out of whack, making the player feel no matter how far they progress their obstacles will always be large, and the world, generally empty, for such a large open world they didn't put too much into it. They should have put more time into the game, if they did, this could have been a really decent game. Including some bugs and glitches, I can't recommend this game to anyone unless they have absolutely nothing else to play.… Full Review »
