However, I have to knock a few points off for a few reasons:
1) Price point: This app is listed at $10 on the Switch eShop, which is a high asking price for only 90 relatively simple puzzles -- you can buy books containing hundreds of more complicated Suguru puzzles from sites like Amazon for around $8-9. I only bought this app because I got a steep discount on it (I paid around $1) for purchasing other software this publisher has released on the eShop.
2) Annotations/pencil marks: Annotations/pencil marks are really important in logic games like this, but it is very unclear how you do them in this game. I played through nearly half of the puzzles before I realized you can press X after opening the dial to input a number to create an annotation/pencil mark, which is a little ridiculous. I was able to play through the puzzles up to that point, but keeping track of all that logic in my head was a bit of a pain.
Overall, I'd recommend this app only if you can purchase it at a steep discount. It serves as a good introduction to Suguru/tectonics, but is pretty pricy for what you get if you purchase it at the list price.…Full Review »
