Hobby Consolas
By Alberto LloretEffie on Nintendo Switch is an charming adventure that youngsters will enjoy the most. It's like an action platformer tale that it's a great way to introduce the most young in open world games with no complications or hard gameplay elements. It looks a little bit worst that on PS4, but playing on portable will fix that.
Generación Xbox
By Juan LorenteLuckily, the platforms and puzzles work great. The game throws us these challenges much more often than the combats and that will be appreciated by the player continuously. "Surfing" around the map is also very nice,although if you miss that we have more content or more elements during those trips. Therefore, Effie seems to me a game with very good ideas but with some elements that do not work as they should, thus tarnishing the final result. A good game for those who love platform titles at the affordable price of 19.99 euros.
Chalgyr's Game Room
By Pierre-Yves LanthierOverall while short, Effie is a cute little throwback adventure that’s easy enough to pass through in an afternoon. With some fun puzzles, easy combat and interesting boss fights, I just hope that the Switch version is patched to offer the same smooth experience that was showcased in the opening trailers.
Impulsegamer
By Alex PrakkenA dysfunctional port of an otherwise solid and charming platformer.
ThisGenGaming
By Robby BisschopEffie aims to bring back the nostalgic feelings for the 3D action-adventure games from the golden era on PS2 and certainly succeeds to some degree, but it’s missing an overall level of polish and has a few too many bugs to fully enjoy.
