The highlight of this port is the touch support. Since Cinders is a visual novel, I didn’t expect any compromises to visuals and animations. If you enjoy darker and mature stories with twists, this is a great experience.

I love the choices and how things actually feel like they make a difference in your playthrough. It was released on PC a long time ago and has finally released on a portable thanks to the Switch version.Ĭinders’ delivery of the classic story is great. Cinders from MoaCube and Crunching Koalas is a great take on the classic Cinderella. Visual novels on portable devices with touchscreens should allow you to progress by tapping the touchscreen. Visual novels are best played on portable devices. This is the only version of the game you can comfortably play while actually cooking as well (don’t do that). I can only hope for a physical release in the future. This release is everything I wanted in a Switch port of the game. The touchscreen controls are super and HD Rumble is excellent. For co-op, you can even use a single Joy-Con each and play on the go which is always a welcome addition.Ĭook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! Is a fantastic conversion on the Switch. Going back to controller feels like a step back for me. The core gameplay is playable with touch and it feels great. There’s a large text option for ingredients which is welcome for handheld mode. I would’ve loved for the menus and interface outside the gameplay to support touch but a lot of interface elements are too small. When it comes to Switch specific features, this port does almost everything right. People who play the console version as their first foray into this game will have a much better time than those who got into the PC version at launch. In terms of the game content, the Switch port is up to date with the other consoles and has all the updates including the Barista one. Now, Vertigo Gaming has ported it to Xbox One and Nintendo Switch and I was pretty excited to check one of my favourite PS4 indies on the Switch.

Thankfully, by the time the PS4 version launched, it was in a much better state and was something I could safely recommend to all. The sequel was fun but needed work when it launched on PC. The original Cook, Serve, Delicious! Is one of my favourite games to play on the iPad. Originally released on PC and PS4 and scored 7.5/10 on PC If you have another platform to experience these games on, make sure you do. Even when you unlock smooth scrolling in the original, it stutters here and there and feels like it has a lot of input lag. Evoland does support the native Switch video recording.Įvoland Legendary Edition packages two great titles but I’m pretty disappointed with the performance. I’m quite disappointed that this version isn’t something I’d consider definitive thanks to the performance issues. Both games in this package need performance improvements. There isn’t any unique use of the Switch hardware and the port needs some optimisation. On the Switch, this package offers nothing really of note over the other platforms barring portability which was already possible thanks to the mobile versions that released earlier. Evoland 2 has its own proper narrative as well. Evoland 2 on the other hand is a much more polished experience on its own and feels like a much better game overall even though I still prefer the original.

Shiro Games’ original Evoland is a must play title for any fans of old school RPGs just as a way to relive how graphics and even games evolved. I loved the way it showcased how games evolved in terms of graphics while it had its own set of references to various things. Originally released as two separate games across PC, iOS, Android, PS4, and Xbox OneĮvoland on Steam was a fantastic experience for me. These reviews aren’t just to talk about the game but to look at how the games run and play on the Switch and how they use the Switch features. If you’re new to the Switch Re:Port Reviews on the Geek, I (with the help of the fine folk here) look at the Switch ports of games that have been released on other platforms. Today’s Switch Re:Port Review looks at four games that saw releases earlier on other platforms.
