Critic Reviews
Sick Critic
By Nathanael HuesoRiME is a freaking beautiful and even fun experience- one that is marred by almost constant performance issues on the Nintendo Switch, including frame drops and skips.
Pure Nintendo
By Trevor GouldThe technical issues definitely knock it down some, as does the higher cost on Switch, but RiME still is good more often than not.
Quillstreak
By Alan JonesOptimisation issues aside, RiME is a fun game with some well-designed puzzles. A stunning soundtrack helps to keep you invested in the beautiful, mysterious world you explore.
Chalgyr's Game Room
By Nick HerberRiME has been around on other platforms for awhile, and while the Nintendo Switch version of the game doesn't really bring a whole lot new to the table, it is still an enchanting adventure worth undertaking if you happened to miss it previously.
Switch Player
By Oliver ReynoldsRime is one of those games that has all the potential to be one of the all-time greats, but falls short at the last hurdle. Choppy framerate and poor visuals in handheld mode hold it back from being a day one recommendation, but it's also an adventure that, one day - despite the flaws - you'll be glad to take.
