    If you like old SCUMM point and click adventures you will probably get some good playtime out of this, and considering the low cost of entry (with the title often appearing in the special offers area) you should at the very least check out the free demo from the eshop and see if it's for you.

    Not great... but priced accordingly with what the game has on offer.

    It is (quite) decent point&click adventure game with really nice visuals but some awkward moments in terms of mechanics & story telling. It could have been good but something went not perfect and well, I have mixed feelings.

    Violett itself is an enjoyable point and click adventure, but it also has so many glitches and even a game-breaking bug that renders it pointless for purchase on Nintendo Switch. Since the error stems from the touch screen controls, anyone intrigued by this would be better off trying out Violett Remastered on PC to witness its charms without the problems.

    I wanted to like Violett, but it just required more patience than I was willing to give. The opening hooked me, and knowing going in that this was a point-and-click adventure on Switch felt like it would be a good idea. But all of these problems really hurt my experience, which is a major bummer. Violett recommends being played portably because it relies on the touch screen (which I can’t bare to use…it’s like putting on a contact lens without washing your hands). But you can use the control sticks and buttons while in handheld or docked. It doesn’t feel great though, because the cursor isn’t just slow to move across the screen, but also slow to just shift icons from an arrow to the yeah, you can interact with this icon. If you want to spend a few hours pulling out your hair and testing the level of patience you have for puzzle games, be my guest and pick this one up.

    Violett is a pretty looking point and click title that does have its moments but is let down by poor storytelling and some strange design choices. Fans of the genre and newcomers alike will find the game to have a certain charm, but frustrations will creep in and I found myself appreciating the stalwarts of the genre even more by the time I saw the end credits.
