    Thimbleweed Park is a beautifully crafted, if challenging world to explore. The puzzles you face can be daunting at times and may put some people off, but players who are able to be patient (or use the in-game hints when possible) should find it to be an enjoyable ride. Fans of the genre and of the game’s predecessors will no doubt love everything on offer here and, with 20-30 hours worth of content for those willing to fully explore, there is quite a lot to love.

    Minor scrolling stutters aside, Thimbleweed Park plays just as well on Switch as on any other platform, with the advantage this time of being both portable where touch controls rule supreme and playable on the bigger screen like its peers. A missed opportunity lies in the lack of pointer controls to which the Joy Con would have lent themselves pretty well, but it still offers no less than the other versions. Rather more than those, in fact, making this version arguably the best one anyone could want.

    Brilliant game with brilliant puzzles fantastic humour and just a great example of a point and click adventure. This game is responsible forBrilliant game with brilliant puzzles fantastic humour and just a great example of a point and click adventure. This game is responsible for some very late nights as I just can't stop playing it! I really hope they make more games like this. You can see the pedigree in this game and the Switch is the perfect home for it. Gamers new to the genre might find it a little tough at the beginning but there is a great unobtrusive hint system and once you get the way the puzzles (and the twisted minds of the developers) generally work it will become a far smoother experience.… Full Review »
