    Thus, in "Stonefly" you get an interesting story with a nice main character. You'll also have a lot of fun in the hand-drawn game world and can also see the characters and robots in great animations. Thanks to the great upgrades and skills, the title is a lot of fun. If you'd like to experience a different title on the Nintendo Switch, you should definitely check out Stonefly.

    The missing element – one of the biggest challenges in game design – is a satisfying game feel. There's not enough feedback from using the gust ability; mechs never feel like they're delivering a strong blow. Combat in Stonefly essentially feels like blowing through a straw to try to move a pebble – it's tiresome, ineffective and tedious. [Issue #55 – October 2021, p. 20]

    Ultimately, Stonefly ends up being a mixed bag. On one hand, exploring the forest by piloting tiny mechs is a wonderful idea, but the repetitious nature of resource gathering is compounded by the clunky combat, and I’d imagine that most players will be driven away before the experience is over.

    With its charming, restful universe, its polished soundtrack and its original approach to mechas who can achieve feats in combat, Stonefly is a fun game, but more calibrated for short sessions than for long-term immersion.
