Here&#8217;s a bit about what we thought:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s brimming with fun, uniquely committed to co-op gaming, plays solidly and distinctively, and usually discards one cool idea in favour of another before there\u2019s time to get bored. Now-standard graphical compromises have been made for Switch, and the typical perk of playing handheld is questionable for an always-split-screen co-op-only game. Nonetheless, it keeps the frames moving well enough not to undermine its Game-of-the-Year sparkle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/nintendo-switch\/related-articles:140131,124755 @ 2023-02-05T06:29:22+00:00 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<figure class=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"mo6Ynbt90yM\">[embedded content]<figcaption class=\"youtube-sub\">Subscribe to <a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/subscription_center?add_user=nintendolife\">Nintendo Life<\/a> on <span class=\"g-ytsubscribe\" data-channel=\"nintendolife\" data-layout=\"default\" data-count=\"default\"><a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/nintendolife\">YouTube<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p><em>Have you picked up this game on the Switch yet?
