“The story of little Isaac and his family is sweetly told, and the mystical atmosphere and unusual perspective draw me into the action. However, the controls on the Nintendo Switch 2 are disappointing. While the PC version tracks my eyes and face, I have to do everything with the Joycons here.”

“"Pixelshire" had the potential to be a charming life simulation. But the awkward controls, counterintuitive game mechanics and confusing presentation are annoying. On top of that, the illogical story is devoid of any real substance. This makes virtual life in “Pixelshire” a real test of patience instead of a cozy experience.”
