I bet Botanicula would make an excellent Switch port.

I really hope that Amanita Design would do so.

This point-and-click's music is nothing short of stunning.

The gameplay is as awesome as its visuals.

If there was an award for 2012's Indie Game of the Year, Botanicula would have won it.

Many thanks for the fantastic review of a fantastic game!

Botanicula, like its name, is something of a hard sell for the majority of players. It's strange ... and so help me that is in part because of its European design sensibilities, which is by means a bad thing. However it does blur the accessibility line by a fair measure.

I mean at least the industry is open to such strangeness, and that's a good thing?


Look, the only time I'm not wrong is when I'm right, so...

Thank you both for reading!

Ogreat:
I can see this game working on Switch, or any platform with a touch screen, really. It's already available in mobile markets, so why not?

Hasty:
This game is such a tough egg to crack. I had a hell of a time writing this review both previously for RoG and now. It's very much a "this is good, but also not good, but mainly good, but kinda eh..." type a title.


The only thing my milkshake brings to the yard is a subpoena.
