Customer Ratings & Reviews

SO. MUCH. FUN! One of the reviews here said that if one enjoyed Tomb Raider, one would enjoy this title as well. I bought this game based on that review and I have to say, this has got to be one of my favorite platformer games yet. The gameplay is fun, unique and exciting. You have a magic pen that you can use to transform your environment into a platform for you to interact with and to help you on your journey to find your brother. I thought it would be awkward to try and draw things on screen with the controller, but I was wrong. It was easy and intuitive, one element that I enjoyed about the game. + Fun little puzzle-platformer. + Pretty graphics (like watching a cartoon). + Predictable but still enjoyable story. + Puzzles are mostly not too easy (though this could be a con for a kid). + Great voice acting. + Very forgiving checkpoints. + Tight controls. + Very well paced. - The final boss fight is too short and too easy. - Linear (though for this type of game, it is sort of expected). I seriously hope there's a sequel. Would buy it in a heartbeat.

I had a little cash to burn and I saw this game at the store. I did a quick search and found out what kind of game it was and gave it a shot. It has a good story and it is easy to play. It is a relaxing game to play and the puzzles that you have to figure out are not too hard to figure out. A similar game to this would be Unravel.

I had no interest in this game until I tried the demo on Nintendo's eShop which surprised me quite a bit. The Pixar-style animation is charming, the story is adorable, and the platforming is surprisingly tight. The way the game transitions between cinematics and gameplay is super smooth and keeps the action flowing. Definitely recommend for fans of modern 2D platformers like Limbo or Inside (in terms of gameplay, though the aesthetic is very different here).

This is a fun yet unremarkable game. A fun platformer/puzzler, yet unremarkable. Nice graphics and story, yet unremarkable. I don't have anything terrible to say, it's just not a game that will "stick with you" or that you will play again after completion.

This game looks so good the story cutscenes look like a Pixar movie but the game is not children’s game it’s so hard and challenging

Good graphics, and a lot of fun to play. Solid price for a switch game.

FULL REVIEW: https://wp.me/p4T35p-g2B Max: The Curse of Brotherhood is a fun title that I think children will love. Hardcore gamers will often attribute their ability to old school platformers that they spent many hours on. This game is not terribly long, but it makes you think both creatively and on your feet. I love that it can help younger gamers develop that kind of skill. The one huge drawback is the jumping. Even on the Switch, this title is months old, so we are unlikely to see a fix for the issue. A shame, because more responsive control would elevate the replay value of this title. For $15 (digital), this game has a a lot of value. The solid graphical design is worth the experience. Running from a giant version of the Critters with no slowdown is fantastic. The puzzles are thought out; not too simple, but not so difficult that a child cannot best them. The drawing mechanic feels as though it were made for the Switch despite being designed long before its existence. If something were done about the jumping, this could easily be a must play on all platforms. For now, I can only recommend it to those itching for a platformer. Nintendo also should do something about the price. Why anyone would spend double on a flash card versus downloading the game is beyond me.

This game takes me back to the old school side scrollers with a twist of the new 3D features. Incredibly intuitive puzzles built into the levels and not too repetitive.

I wanted to try something different so I picked up this game (and because it was cheap) Actually it's pretty good. A cinematic side scroller. The puzzles are challenging and fun.

Almost downloaded this game till I saw it in Best Buy...the only store that seems to carry it!! Buy a retail copy and save 2 gigs on your Switch system memory!! Oh and a great game too!!

This game is very aesthetically pleasing and it has a nice story. There are some cool challenges and it's fun trying to figure them out.

I really enjoyed playing this game originally on my Xbox One a few years ago, so I had to get it for Switch. Haven’t finished it yet, but so far it seems the switch version has some frame rate issues several times in the game and the controls feel a little weird compared to how it felt for me on Xbox. But if you’ve never played max and only have a switch, or just like collecting platformer games, you should definitely get it.

This game is very developed for an indy game. SOme platofrming roots but more of a puzzle game. Aesthetics are great. I recommend highly.

challenging and fun filled. could be a little longer though. completed it in a couple days.

If you like platformer games than this is a good game game for the switch for a low price

Son loves this game to play when bored with other games, simple easy to play.

This games it’s amazing and to my surprise that it flew underground the radar

The switch never stops amazing me with the fun and unique games that continue to come out for it!

This game is fun...cool little 3D platformer...still playing but enjoying every minute of it.
