PSLS: "It’s pretty uncommon to see a non-established platformer release without a gimmick attached to it. Hue was built around shifting colors, Klaus had a unique narrative focus and acknowledged the player’s existence, and The Sun and the Moon was all about reversing gravity. All of these games succeeded due to bringing something new to the table, while Shu, a new title from developers Secret Lunch and Coatsink, is a platformer where you play as a cute bird (named Shu) who just wants to make his way from the left side of the screen over to the right."
Nintendo has reduced over 300 games in its latest eShop sale on Switch. Here are some of the best, all with a discount of at least 50%.
Shu is a hand-drawn platformer that will challenge and delight players with an engrossing 2.5-D world that's filled with collectibles, obstacles and threats.
"There are games in this genre to satisfy every want and need. Damn good ones, too. A basic platformer with the same old clichéd mobility tools and a pretty underwhelming world to be a part of just isn’t enough to make its mark these days, making Shu feel a little played out. It’s by no means a bad game, but hardly a good one too; it falls quite neatly into the comfortable, average middle-ground."
