    Turmoil on the Nintendo Switch is a fantastic and addictive experience, wrapped up nicely in a wonderfully simple art style and excellent music, perfect for picking up and playing on the go. Whether you’re in it for the long haul, or just feel like doing some quick digging, Turmoil will keep you coming back time and time again. I highly recommend the game - and specifically this version of it - as I believe this is the optimal way to play Turmoil.

    While the graphics are on the simple side and getting someone excited about the petroleum industry is a hard sell when we’re concerned with global warming and the future of the planet, I still found a great deal to like about Turmoil: the Heat is On. I appreciated its approachability, it led to a few good conversations about economics with my son, and it also helped that the oil I was drilling was just pretend — with no ecological damage being done, I could just relax and enjoy the systems.

    Turmoil is a satisfying experience, much like getting your house cleaned up feels good at the end of the day. Being able to discover all of the oil, drill for it, and then sell it feels great, but unless you’re good with basically doing just that for a while, the tedious loop and lack of interesting upgrades will keep you from feeling like this was anything but an okay experience, even if you’re really into management sims.
