Phogs! Reviews

Looking through the Switch's library, I think it's safe to say that co-op games are making a large resurgence. It seems like every few weeks, a new colorful co-

Phogs! is the vibrantly colourful, smooth puzzle game that I didn’t realize I needed during these turbulent times. Recommended by a fellow gamer, I went into this title fairly blind, but I quickly discovered what makes it such a great puzzle game. Phogs! is dripping with charm. From the protagonist who is a two-headed dog that resembles a noodle of some sort, to the level and environmental design, character design, the gameplay itself, and far more. The Phogs are controlled individually with one head being controlled using the left analog stick, and the other head being controlled with the right analog stick. While Phogs! isn’t the first game to introduce such a mechanic, Bit Loom Games finds creative ways to challenge players with puzzles that vary in difficulty in a title that’s great for all ages due to its inoffensive nature.

A super cute and fun game with an interesting control scheme and puzzles that will work your brain, but not too hard. Great family game with super fun and chaotic multiplayer that will have everyone laughing. Plus, who can resist the adorable pups RED and BLUE?

I first heard about Phogs! a few days before the day came out and was immediately craving it. I really wanted to play it, not because of anything related to its gameplay, but because it looked like the most stupidly adorable doggo game I had ever seen. The trailer showcased a colorful world you could explore by playing as a twin-headed doggy, basically as if they had removed the Cat from CatDog and replaced it with another dog, basically creating a DogDog. So stupid, I know, but hey, I’m a ...

The zaniness of PHOGS!'s character controller combined with its elegant and diverse puzzle design is a recipe for a fun. The game ensures that every second is a new opportunity for friendship-fueled hilarity.

PHOGS! is a great two-player co-op puzzle game with just enough floppiness to make executing the solutions challenging. Never frustrating but always satisfying, PHOGS! is a solid choice for kids or adults. Gorgeous storybook art and fantastic music keep PHOGS! warm and fun, and a simple control design makes the game accessible to a wide range of audiences. Clever, charming, and fun.

PHOGS! is a real gaming treat. It's a very well crafted co-op focused experience which works whether the players are of equal or different skill levels. It's a budget release, yet feels very content-rich for the price. And it creates a unique world that is both memorable and fun to experience.

Too often these days, our games are so preoccupied with achievements, trophies, levels, and all kinds of complicated crafting and weaponry that we don’t normally just sit back and play a game—really play a game—and actually have fun without any kind of pressure at all. Phogs! allows you to go back and experience the fun of a game at its most basic—and that’s not always something even AAA games can pull off.
