Away: Journey to the Unexpected (Switch) Review
Away stands out from the sea of roguelites by being a little unexpected.
75%Away: Journey to the Unexpected Review
Away: Journey to the Unexpected begins as a fun and lighthearted romp with a few very unique wrinkles to its gameplay. Unfortunately, this quickly unravels and is severely hampered by poor design choices that sour what was first an enjoyable experience. These unexpected issues in the second half of the game are such a slog, and when you’re presented with a final boss battle that falls flatter than Maroon 5’s halftime show, it makes you wish you had stayed away from the game in the first place.
50%AWAY: Journey To The Unexpected Review
AWAY is a brief, humorous and adorable first-person ‘roguelite’ that puts the emphasis on fun and good vibes instead of challenge, but ultimately fumbles the execution.
