Nintendo Switch

Hauntii is incredible.



I downloaded this game to play on the plane on a recent trip and it is amazing- I am surprised I haven’t seen any discussion on this subreddit about it.

The soundtrack is very lofi beat-esque and perfect for the art direction. It plays like a twin stick shooter with very simple controls and most of the game is fairly relaxing with some more intense fights. You can possess certain objects to do specific actions for some puzzle gameplay. The sense of discovery is rewarding and you sometimes feel like you might have wandered the wrong way, but the game does an excellent job with visual and audio cues to let you know you’re progressing the right way to advance the story.

You collect memories of your past life along the way which are really endearing and the animations make this spooky game actually quite cute.

I haven’t experienced any performance issues in handheld or docked. It plays excellently on the OLED Switch with the stylized line art popping against darker backgrounds.

It is probably one of my favorite games I’ve played this year.
