What players say
I really enjoyed this game on Steam. It would not even play on the OG OLED Switch. Great graphics, smooth gameplay and the surfing is fun to get going. The puzzles aren't too difficult but will make you slow your roll. For the money, you can explore and fight as much as you want. Well worth the time.

Its ok. Its visually striking, and hovering around feels awesome, but besides that, the gameplay is pretty basic.
