Cassette Boy

85/100

Overall, I really enjoyed Cassette Boy. The combination of Legend of Zelda adventuring with Fez camera rotating was an excellent combo that blended incredibly well. The game has a unique retro visual aesthetic, and gorgeous lo-fi music. Its only issues are minor. Anyone curious about Cassette Boy from the trailer should definitely make the purchase. It’s a short game, but the under $15 price is right. I can’t wait to see what the developers make next!

This leaves Cassette Boy as a brilliant concept held in a flawed shell. The perspective-based puzzle mechanics are clever and well-explored, providing a real sense of satisfaction as when those solutions click and the full potential of snapping objects in and out of existence is realized.

Cassette Boy is a puzzle RPG for the Nintendo Switch. It features a top-down perspective, ticklish brain teasers, and a pixel-based world. Is it worth exploring

7/10

An engaging mix of The Legend Of Zelda and Fez, which rearranges a number of familiar ideas into a clever action puzzler, even if its visuals are a bit too old school for its own good.

CASSETTE BOY can change how you view the world with its mechanics and puzzles, but is held back by some odd and frustrating design decisions.
