    Unbox: Newbies Adventure is a rough 3D platformer which is let down by poor controls and repetitive gameplay, whilst there are charming characters and fun multiplayer, the game's flaws are glaring and hard to overlook. Unless you have an innate hatred for Italian plumbers I can't recommend this game to anyone looking for something to scratch the platforming itch.

    There are bugs (because of course there are), and very long loading times, but on the plus side there is a multiplayer mode. On the downside I never managed to actually get someone to play this with me. They took one look at the single player game, with all its misfiring attempts at nostalgic glory, and begged me to play something else instead.

    Love the cute box character customisation and funky music. It’s a fun game and it’s not as expensive as most Switch games!

    Unstable framerates and poor controls combine to make it nearly unplayable. There isn't really any engagement with the player, so despite what seems to be a variety of things to find and do, I have zero desire to find or do them.
    If the Switch store offered refunds, I would have requested one.    … Full Review »
