    When I heard Tumblestone was making its way to the Switch, I was overjoyed. Once again I’d be able to delve into the wonderfully addicting and tense multiplayer while chipping away at the robust single player campaign. Although the port for the Switch mostly holds up with other versions, the lack of online play definitely makes this an inferior version. That aside, it still serves up reams of fun and is an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a fresh take on a puzzle game.

    While Switch already has a lot of games available to suck up your time, Tumblestone should be on your radar if you’re a fan of tile matching games. It’s a unique enough take on the genre, and while Puyo Puyo Tetris will fight for your attention, coming in at $20 makes it’s great value for money.

    Tumblestone is an excellent puzzle game that definitely deserves to be played by fans of the genre. Aside from maybe Puyo Puyo Tetris, you are unlikely to find a puzzle game that offers quite this much content and such an addictive nature. The lack of any online functionality is disappointing, though, and whilst the Switch’s portability could have made this the definitive version, this odd omission takes away a nice feature unnecessarily. If you haven’t played the game before, though, or aren’t fussed about playing online – this is still a very solid choice.

All other levels areTumblestone is pure fun, the wonderful quirky story behind it is relaxing. Every 20th level of all worlds is a bit hard. All other levels are well-balanced. The game has two components: one relaxing single player part which is brain challenging and one ultra flexible local multi player part which is amazing. For this (sale) price point, it's your best bet. The game has a very, very long "how long to beat" time without getting boring.… Expand

Ideal para tenerA pesar de tener una apariencia cutre, "Tumblestone" es un gran puzzle de colores, fácil de aprender, adictivo y desafiante. Ideal para tener en la Switch y disfrutarlo en momentos de calma.
    La mecánica es simple, armando grupos de 3 debes eliminar cada bloque de color de la pantalla según las reglas o dificultades que vayan surgiendo. Los controles y la interfaz es básica pero funciona, mientras que se extraña poder repetir niveles para mejorar la partida pasada. Se agradece la gran variedad de modos como la posibilidad de jugar multijudor local, aunque se extraña la competencia online que si la tienen los port de otras plataformas.
    Si te gusta éste tipo de juegos, es recomendable, los niveles son bastos y variados y la personalización para otros modos le agrega un buen tiempo de uso. Es mejor adquirirlo cuando esté en oferta ya que es un juego que aparece con amplios descuentos regularmente    … Expand

It's a puzzle game where there is literally only one correct way and if you don't find that singular correct way then you're buggered. It's annoying to get stuck again and again and again and again because there is only one unique way to correctly finish a level; also, you can forget about skipping as you get a TINY amount of options to do that which doesn't' lie well with the actual difficulty of some of the levels. This game is just an irritation, one you'd be better to not inflict on yourself.… Expand
