    The way Thirsty Suitors meshes turn-based combat, cooking minigames, and a skateboarding simulator is a huge success. On paper, so many disjointed ideas don't sound like they will work, but Thirsty Suitors brings it all together in impressive fashion. And it does so while also elevating and celebrating South Asian characters and their stories in a modern-day setting.

    While Thirsty Suitors feels better to play on other platforms, I’ve enjoyed my time with it a lot on Nintendo Switch over the last week. Outerloop Games and Annapurna Interactive’s newest is an important and memorable experience from start to finish blending multiple genres but remaining awesome throughout.

    The combat of Thirsty Suitors is never extremely challenging, and its skating isn't a hugely complex system, but the game has depth where it counts: its characters and story. This coupled with the title's nearly boundless creativity, which shines through in its unique cartoon graphics and eccentric mechanics, makes the seven or so hours it takes to complete feel completely worthwhile. Things never drag with Thirsty Suitors, and it captures a delightful slice-of-life story that brilliantly blends magical realism and South Asian culture to make something truly special.
