I despised platformers. But then I played Super Mario Wonder.
Even with these positives, however, it doesn’t feel like enough to really save the game and turn it into something special. While many gameplay issues could be changed in the future via patches, currently, the core gameplay experience just isn’t fun. All the ideas are there, but they aren’t executed to their fullest potential.
ARMS is a clever game that brings something new to the simple boxing formula. Those seeking to master the game will find it harder than they initially thought, but will enjoy every frustrating fight they get into. With more free DLC on the way, including new characters, stages, and weapons, ARMS is shaping up to be a great new addition to the fighting game community. Final Score: 4/5 Disclosure: Our Nintendo Switch review copy of ARMS was provided courtesy of Nintendo.
