We can\u2019t wait for everyone to try it out for themselves!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We had pretty mixed feelings on the first game when it came to Switch in 2017, so hopefully this second title \u2013 actually a prequel to the first \u2013 will fair a little better. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/reviews\/switch-eshop\/oceanhorn_monster_of_uncharted_seas\">our review<\/a> of the first game, we said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas is an ambitious title that does some things rather well, finding a way to endear itself to players. It has a few problems, some from design choices and others from its mobile legacy that should have been adjusted for console, but what it doesn&#8217;t lack is heart. The desire of the developers to pay homage to classic adventure series, but in their own way, shines through.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"picture strip\"><a title=\"Key Art 1 4k\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/a6241c1fb3401\/key-art-1-4k.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/a6241c1fb3401\/key-art-1-4k.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" alt=\"Key Art 1 4k\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Naturally, we&#8217;ll have a review of this new Oceanhorn game for you a little nearer to release, too.
