    I have never written a game review in my decades of gaming. I created an account to warn potential buyers that this is a great game ruined by the most sloppy, unresponsive, unforgiving controls of any game I have ever played. That includes Crash Bandicoot, Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Hollow Knight, etc. This is far worse. It punishes the gamer for wanting to go further into the game as well asI have never written a game review in my decades of gaming.

There are times when moving the Right analog stick, to move the camera only, caused my character to move inexplicably and fall of a ledge. Buyer beware.… Expand

    Worst game ever. The controllers are so bad. But the all games seems to get great score on Switch also the bad ones.

    First game I have ever rage-uninstalled. I cannot in good conscience recommend this game to anyone.

    One of the most controversial games I've ever played. The plot is great, the quests are interesting even though they are quite usual. But when it comes to controllers and camera... this game sucks so much. Uninstalled being unable to finish the last boss. Why isometric view was chosen for 3d quests? Ask the developers. Have spend there couple of nice hours and then lost all my neurons. BeOne of the most controversial games I've ever played.

    The Touryst won't let you relax. Instead, the developers have prepared for you a 5-hour story full of puzzles, challenges and even mini-games across 8 colorful environments.

    The Touryst is an absolutely stellar action-adventure game that sends players on a whirlwind journey of mini-games, puzzle solving and scenic vistas all bundled in one of the most visually impressive engines to date on the Switch.

    This is a fantastic, gorgeous experience, and if you have a Nintendo Switch, you should definitely give these islands a visit.
