    Snipperclips does an amazing job to show off what is unique and exciting about the Nintendo Switch. The co-op mode is a lot of fun, and this game has a totally unique idea for the puzzle genre that I am a big fan of.

I will say that if you want to play this single-player, it really hinders the fun the game brings. This game really should only be played if you plan on playing with a friend or family member. Although the single-player is fun and challenging, it is just very wonky switching back and forth between the characters, and the fact you are still forced to use a single Joy-Con rather than a Pro Controller or alternative really hurts this game's single-player play-through. I would totally recommend this game for anyone who wants to see what you're Switch can do, has the extra funds, and plans to play this couch co-op style. Otherwise I would say only major puzzle game fans should give this a whirl.… Expand

    My fiancé and I enjoyed playing through this, but it was all over far too quickly. Probably worth picking up in a sale, but close to 20 quid for about an hour to an hour and a halfs worth of entertainment isn't good value. Especially when it's pretty much got zero replayability.

    Needs at least another "world" or 2.

    This is an ok game for the switch. It will give you a good few hours of fun in multi-player mode. The puzzles are interesting. Don't buy this game for one player action. It is the kind of game I'll keep on my switch until better games arrive then I will delete it.

    I mainly purchased Snipperclips well over a year ago as a little diversion for me and my wife to have a bit of fun with while we were still waiting for the Switch library to fill out (this was back in the beginning, when the Switch was still a Zelda machine), and it was exactly that, a nice little diversion, though a number of much better puzzlers have made their way to the Switch sinceI mainly purchased Snipperclips well over a year ago as a little diversion for me and my wife to have a bit of fun with while we were still waiting for the Switch library to fill out (this was back in the beginning, when the Switch was still a Zelda machine), and it was exactly that, a nice little diversion, though a number of much better puzzlers have made their way to the Switch since then.. I enjoyed the expressiveness of the cute little paper characters, their giggles and blushes whenever you'd snip out little pieces of them, and some of the puzzles are fairly clever.

    It's worth it if you know for sure you'll have at least one other person to solve all the puzzles with, but controlling with only one person is incredibly tedious. It's also a shame the controls are so finicky, since only around 30% of the time you'll spend playing this game will be actual puzzle solving, whereas the other 70% is executing after you already know how to solve it.

    Still, I very much enjoyed Snipperclips, and I would check out an improved sequel should there ever be one.    … Expand

    This game is filled to the brim with character and fun little puzzles and I sure am happy to have picked up this launch title. The game can be played with from up to 1-4 players, I'd recommend to at least have a friend to play with it is a ton of fun.

Albeit it's charm and cartoon look can be quite deceiving, Some of these puzzles can be challenging and really requires you to think outside of the box and use your imagination. after an hour though it does wear down and you may want to take a break it can get kind of boring. I'd recommend playing in short bursts with your friends. It's visually appealing and pleasing to look at; with its simple design and comedic faces your little characters you control make and finishing every puzzle always feels rewarding no matter how hard or easy.

    It's a game I think will always have people who love puzzle games can come back to.

    PROS:
    +Intracit puzzles
    +Visually Appealing
    +Smooth Controls
    +Loads of Charm and Character
    +Very fun with a group of friends

    CONS:
    -Some Linear Puzzles
    -Can get old if not played in short bursts
    -Not very fun to play by yourself

    Verdict:
    7/10    … Expand

    Well designed and fun, this game will for sure entertain you for some few hours playing with friends. However, lifepan of this game is quite short and the 3 minigames will not do much.
    Im hoping for a DLC soon.

    Super cute co-op puzzle game! I didn't enjoy this as much as other people because I found it a little frustrating at times, but overall it was a really cool game and an enjoyable experience.

    Great co-op expierence and a lot of laugh. I wish it was longer, dlc is coming, but it's paid and together there are only 5 worlds. Very creative puzzles.

    It might favor quality over quantity, but this is a perfect introduction to couch co-op on Switch. [May 2017, p.68]

    It will not stop the global warming, it doesn’t cure cancer or even introduce any new trends in game design, but in almost every level it proves that Zelda is not the only must-have title on Switch. It matches the platform’s nature perfectly. [05/2017, p.70]
