    Teslagrad is a fun puzzling experience from Rain Games and one that seems perfect for on-the-go play thanks to the numerous puzzles and the regular auto-saving checkpoints, meaning it's perfect for pick up and put down style play. The graphical style has transitioned fantastically to Switch, too, looking absolutely stunning in portable mode. This is definitely a pleasing addition to the Switch's extensive port library.

    Teslagrad takes the single premise of magnetism and stretches it out through a good three to four hours of gameplay. The main character’s abilities to manipulate the environment pave the way for incredibly clever puzzles. Controlling the boy and moving objects aren’t always predictable or intuitive, making some challenges feel artificially difficult. Nevertheless, the title has made a positive jump over to the Nintendo Switch and is recommended for fans of 2D Metroidvania platformers.

It has mediocre controls. Jump button doesn’t respond well. Also some mechanics, boss fights and/or platforms are very very tedious. Doesn’t hold your hand at all. You can get lost not knowing where to go or what to do.The story is a mehh! The Art , visuals and music/sound are great. But what makes a game great is its performance and in this game is lacking a lot. Good ideas , bad execution.… Full Review »

    Great atomospheric world with some genuinely decent platforming challenges. Love the sci fi / soviet vibes and the controls are tight. Very enjoyable.
