This extra convenience of portability really does enhance the overall experience in the review process, there were numerous times where life obligations saw us having to cut sessions on the couch short and bring the portable unit along, but we were utterly delighted that the game could be continued with no drawbacks when away from home. As Axiom Verge is not a very visually intensive game to begin with, performance is the same whether or not you’re playing with it in the dock. The biggest change here, and the one that makes this version the most worthwhile, is the simple fact that it can be played both at home and on the go. While it is true that this may be more inconvenient than just glancing down at a screen in your lap, it’s only a very minor change and doesn’t actually detract from the gameplay in any notable way. Seeing as how the Switch doesn’t have the second screen capability of the Wii U, there is no longer an instantly accessible map or inventory screen those are now accessed by the tap of a button, just like in other versions of the game. Now, let’s first discuss the differences that exist between this version and the Wii U equivalent. The question is this: is Axiom Verge just as good now as it was then? The answer is yes, absolutely. In short, we were blown away, and now the game has been ported to the Switch. The game managed to near perfectly hit that blend of old-school elements clearly inspired by the likes of action platformers that have come before, while adding in new touches and surprises to keep the player engaged and guessing. Last year, Nintendo gamers were graced with the opportunity to play Axiom Verge - one of the finest Metroidvanias we’ve played in many years - on the Wii U. Some were no doubt a little miffed that the game didn't come to the shiny new Switch, but another game has now come along that will fill in that gap quite nicely. Just a couple of weeks ago the 3DS was graced with Metroid: Samus Returns, a top-notch new entry in the long standing franchise that gave the Metroidvania genre its name.
