RiME was originally released for PC, PS4, and Xbox One in May of 2017. Unfortunately, the Switch port is very poorly optimized with a noticeable graphical downgrade and frequent frame rate drops.

Beautiful environment; fun puzzles

Poor performance and long load times

Tequila Works has just about squeezed this beautiful game from other home consoles into the smaller form of Nintendo's Switch. Despite the chronic performance issues that are found throughout in this iteration, it all just about holds together well enough, and, thankfully, the core adventure shines...

Rime is a very interesting game and had me interested back when it was announced a long time ago for PS4. Ever since then the developers have gone on to get the rights back and release it as a multi-p

Owes much to its influences; Never that challenging

RiME didn't exactly have the smoothest of times from its initial announcement to its release. Surfacing as an intriguing adventure, catching the attention of many – myself included – to then disappearing for about two years, and reappearing under a new publisher; the game's rocky road will...

Beautiful world; Enjoyable exploration; Simple yet effective puzzling and platforming; Emotionally affecting story

Brilliance of the first area doesn't quite carry through the rest of the game; Plot could be hard to follow
