Overview

1-2-Switch is a party game for everyone! Throw an impromptu party anywhere with anyone thanks to a new play style in which players look at each other—not the screen! Bring the action and fun into the real world as you face off in wild-west duels, cow-milking competitions, and more. While the action unfolds off-screen, the audience watches the players themselves instead of the screen.

The review acknowledges 1-2-Switch as a fun but uneven collection of mini-games that showcases the Switch's hardware. While it has memorable moments, it lacks the lasting impact of predecessors like Wii Sports and feels more like a promotional tool than a must-have title.

AI-generated summary • May contain inaccuracies • See full review for precise details

While 1-2-Switch offers enjoyable party experiences and innovative use of Joy-Con features, its lack of depth, customization, and replay value at a 50€ price point makes it feel like a superficial launch title rather than a lasting experience.
