Critic Reviews
Cubed3
By Jorge Ba-ohThere's potential for more mini-games beyond what's included, but the game does - for now - lack that longevity to hold interest beyond the initial wow moment.
Switch Player
By Paul MurphyIt’s more expensive than the Variety Kit and although initially more impressive, is perhaps even more niche and surprisingly suffers from getting old much quicker. If you have a burning desire to unlock your inner Optimus Prime and have £70 that you want to throw down, then you’ll be impressed.
CGMagazine
By Cole WatsonThe Nintendo Labo Robot Kit is disappointing. While I absolutely adored the in-depth build and the creativity behind the Toy-Con Garage, the actual gameplay included in this $100 package simply isn't worth the price of admission.
PCMag
By Will GreenwaldThe Nintendo Labo Robot Kit walks you through building a very clever cardboard robot suit for stomping around in the included Switch game. There isn't much meat to it, though.

By Alex EverattIf I was going to recommend one LABO product, I'd definitely pick the Variety Kit, there's just more to do there. But if you've completed the Variety Kit and are desperate for more cardboard fun, than the Robot Kit is your only other option – just don't expect any long-lasting enjoyment.
