Critic Reviews
6Souls (Nintendo Switch)
6Souls is a challenging platformer with great graphics, music, and gameplay. It can border on frustrating, but if you’re a glutton for punishment, have a high level of patience, and/or love a challenge, this one might be worth checking out.
70%6Souls Review (Nintendo Switch) – A Joyful Adventure
It’s rare that I don’t have a bad word to say about a game but 6Souls is an example of a video game done right. It didn’t overreach and promise the world, it focused on delivering what it could and making the most out of the game’s core concept. While it isn’t a game of the year contender or even a game that MUST be played this would make for an excellent addition to anyone’s gaming library. Between this game and The Lightbringer platforming fans are having a lot of joy lately.
