That said, its relatively short overall runtime means that the experience is a bit compressed, which leads to some leaps of faith in difficulty as you’ll need to very quickly apply the new skills you’ve learned without much ramp up. Rise & Shine, with its puzzle-like sequences where you’ll need to carefully guide your bullets, cover mechanics, and plain creative variety ticks a lot of new boxes. The Switch has seen its fair share of shooters, so it’s always nice when something with its own style and flair comes along to expand the family a bit. While completing each stage may not be that hard trying to do so quickly to earn gold medals begins to require more and more planning on top of simple execution.
Some variety in surfaces that include both ice and gravity effects open the door to some tricky and sometimes pretty insane level layouts and designs. The controls are pretty well instantly intuitive and you can very quickly move around at top speed with a fair amount of confidence. The baseline key to games of this kind is to get the physics and feel of it right and they’ve absolutely nailed it. In a nutshell that’s absolutely the experience that Marble It Up delivers, keeping you occupied with just enough power-ups and craziness along the way to make it memorable.
While the mechanics can be tricky, and momentum can be a real bastard, when the controls for these sorts of games are implemented well there’s a certain satisfaction of taking on various inclined surfaces and making to the goal. It’s inevitable with these varied styles of flying that one or two won’t appeal to everyoneįrom the original Marble Madness to the likes of Super Monkey Ball I’ve always had a soft spot for games where I can get my roll on.While the islands you’ll fly around are nice it would have been nice to have more locales to explore.In terms of presentation when you slow down or come to a stop the visuals can be a bit dated in places.The setting and the music, mixed with the feeling of flying, generally make for a relaxing experience… though that isn’t to say you won’t get frustrated as well.Unlocking additional stages requires a certain number of gold medals but never having all of them, leaving room for you to struggle with certain styles without being penalized too much.Though the controls are relatively simple there are nuances to them and the stages will push you to master them fully in order to earn your gold medals as you get further along.While it may be lacking in polish visually and doesn’t do anything groundbreaking it’s still a generally serene and enjoyable experience that can likely be enjoyed by just about anyone. Each of the methods of flight you’ll get to enjoy have their own distinct feel and though the controls are relatively simple in principle you’ll still find earning your gold medals to get tricky, especially as you advance to the later stages.

If you’ve been aching to soar in the skies Pilot Sports has done a commendable job of capturing the essence of the classic Pilotwings series and has brought it to the Switch. Much like in the original Pilotwings you’ll have those that you enjoy more than others, in my case I probably disliked the hang-gliding the most but I’d imagine everyone will have their own tastes. Each requires a different skillset and has their own challenges. Your challenges will be split across 50 stages and will eventually challenge you to try to master 4 very different disciplines including an airplane, jetpack, hang-glider (technically there are 2 variants of these), and skydiving/parachuting. That’s where Pilot Sports comes in, obviously taking cues from that classic franchise and creating an experience that may not necessarily thrill but that has enough charm and generally mellow but challenging gameplay that it can be quite satisfying. Pilotwings is one of quite a number of titles in Nintendo’s stable that they simply haven’t opted to release a new game for in a few generations. One of the great things about indie developers is that they’re able to deliver experiences akin to those in series that major publishers have let fall by the wayside.
