This is Cyberpunk to an extent. A must own Switch game. It's also very hard to find in physical format.

Might be a bit complex for those just starting action games but the way the gameplay works makes it suitable for most anyone to learn its ropes. The story and stylish art make the game truly special. Great addition to anyone’s switch library.

This may be one of the most visually impressive games on the Switch. It starts off a little slow, but about halfway through it really picks up and I found it difficult to put down till I finished it.

Pros
Great combat not like Bayonetta lots more numbers and rpg elements but this is good because there is a lot more customization, there really are not many games that have combat feel like this and that's a positive
This game is gorgeous one of the best looking games on the switch in a big part thanks to a really strong art style
The soundtrack is odd but fits really well with the Game
Cons
The story is very weak feels a cliche anime underdevelop characters villains and events this is the only thing keeping me from giving it five stars

This is Platinum Games at there finest. The combat is fast and fluid. The story is pretty decent. Kinda cheesy but still good in its own way. The amount of quest and side stuff to do in this game blew me away. My game of the year and the first game I would recommend to someone who is picking up a switch for the first time.

The switch always has great exclusives and this one stood out to me back when it was first announced. The combat, music, and overall fun time this game produces is well worth the money. There’s a great amount of in depth content also so it’s not just one of those beat it and done type games either.

One of the most unique experiences on the switch. The game has a cool cyberpunk ascetic and a killer soundtrack. The gameplay is top notch with blazing speed battles that are done in a way I've never seen before. I won't spoil that for you, just buy it

I didn’t even have this on my radar, but good reviews pushed me to pick it up. The story is very anime-ish, and the characters follow that style (at least for what I’ve played)....But I don’t care. The gameplay is great and the game looks fluid and nice, so I’m having a blast playing it.

Astral Chain may be the most ambitious game Platinum has ever developed, fusing its epic set pieces and frantic Bayonetta inspired combat with futuristic anime to create the most gorgeous game on the Switch. With great combat and music, Astral Chain is a must have for Switch owners.

Excellent game with fantastic combat and a pretty good story. Overall made for a great experience and definitely one of Platinum Games’ best projects to date. Picked this up as my first Switch game and do not regret it one bit.

Easily a top Switch game. It may start off slow due to lack of moves and a story that seems a bit casual at first, but it amps up hardcore. Music, moves comboing between 2 characters at the same time...Even the story picks up like a metal concert. Very awesome.

Easily one of the best, kinetic games by Platinum, a company know for fast paced action games.
The only down side, the investigation and side missions can drag on between missions, but still well worth playing and one of the best games on the Switch!

Really fun action game for the Switch, not many can compare at all. The game runs super smooth in handheld mode and also looks great. Lots of weapon and combat variety definitely keeps the game fresh and exciting. Some of the side quests can be tedious and not worth the time, but they're easy to just ignore and get on with the game. Took me around 16 hours to complete is it is somewhat short, but tons of fun while playing. Love it!

The story is alright but the gameplay is the greatest I've ever experienced. Its completely different from any game. It's a button masher sure but once you've gotten the hang of the controls you can do some really crazy combos.
