Orbitals reviewed by Jesse Vitelli on Nintendo Switch 2.
"Orbitals has the uncanny ability to pull out long dormant memories of my childhood watching anime – memories I wouldn't come to fully appreciate until adulthood – giving that nostalgia a playable form for me and a friend. Its familiar but entertaining puzzles and striking art style make it a strong addition to any co-op library, and one that asked me to continually keep my curiosity piqued, if only to have it answered with a fun, fleeting interaction that put a smile on my face for a moment. It does lose some momentum toward the end, but this world is always exciting to get lost in – if for nothing else, just to let the synthetic soundtrack and whimsical characters wash over you like a warm Saturday morning. This adventure might be over, but I'm excited to see what developer Shapefarm does next."
