Final 12 months, on Christmas Day, I reviewed Yuletide Legends, a Christmas level and click on. This yr, I’m doing Save Christmas with Santa, a horrid platformer for youngsters that’s something however cheerful. And it’s becoming, as a result of 2024 is the yr the eShop was lastly utterly overrun with rubbish, washing away any good things for me to overview, particularly within the month of December. To seek out this sport, I simply typed “Christmas” into the search bar on Nintendo’s website, and this was the primary entry, which naturally was on sale for $1.99, at all times a telltale signal of crap. And crap it’s. So, its the day earlier than Christmas, and Santa isn’t prepared, so that you… do horrible platforming and stuff.
I created an extended video than ordinary showcasing Save Christmas With Santa. It exhibits three components. First strolling alongside a path, when Santa finds an indication. Then leaping on Icebergs in a lake. Then leaping in clouds within the sky. Notice the sections are so as of look within the sport. Between sections two and three, you’ll get a double soar.
You may see how unhealthy Save Christmas with Santa is. The platform leaping is terrible because the leaping is imprecise. For one factor, there’s no shadow, so you can not inform the place you might be within the air, important for 3D platformers like this one. Additionally, typically, you’ll soar far, typically you received’t. Who is aware of? Then discover the shortage of a splash within the water, displaying no water physics. All the video games takes place in a bland, all white setting that simply isn’t attention-grabbing to take a look at. The melody will get grating after awhile.
Save Christmas with Santa isn’t the worst platformer I’ve performed on the Swap(Flannel Amethyst), however it isn’t anyplace close to good. For those who get your youngsters this for Christmas, you’ll be on their naughty checklist for all times. This will get a not Really useful with a 4 back-end rating.
