Orbitals is a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive that takes inspiration from the foundation laid out by Hazelight Studios, elevating the resurgence of co-op-based experiences to new and exciting heights.
Whether it’s due to the visuals, a puzzle’s solution, or from bumping into a screaming alien creature, Orbitals is awe-inspiring.
Lexi Luddy goes on an unforgettable adventure in the Gamer Guides review for Orbitals
Orbitals is a visually spectacular co-op game that kept me smiling from start to finish, with loads of clever ideas for you and a friend to experience.
In Orbitals, prepare to repair your ship from the external forces of an unnatural space storm. Maki, Omura and the rest of the colony has to band together.
Team up with a mate and experience a classic anime-inspired galactic adventure in Orbitals, a co-op Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive.
Developed by Shapefarm, which features former members of the Hazelight team, can Orbitals manage to carve out its own identity?
As the Nintendo Switch 2 enters into its second year in the public eye, people are clamoring more and more for excitement. Though the system began with a relatively strong launch with Mario Kart Tour as well as Switch 2 upgrades for existing titles, the initial beginning was slower. Then 2026 is where we pick up the momentum. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Splatoon Raiders, both great entries to existing franchises. Now, Nintendo is taking a bold step forward and claiming a brand new IP for a...
Orbitals delivers an enjoyable but very linear story filled with a wide variety of puzzles that highlight Shapefarm's ability to create a multitude of creative scenarios with just a few tools.
Orbitals | Switch 2 Review | The co-op adventure that pays homage to '80s anime and reminds us of all the beauty of gaming with friends.
If you have a friend who can play NS2 with you, then Orbital Twins is definitely worth considering buying.
Review: A co-op only experience in a similar vein to It Takes Two, Orbitals sets itself apart with its gorgeous anime visuals.
Orbitals takes the co-op splitscreen platforming that made games like Split Fiction and It Takes Two winners and applies it to a retro anime-style sci-fi adventure.
Orbitals has a solid showing for those of us looking for another split-screen co-op adventure. Here's our full review.
Orbitals is one of those perfect games you finish in an afternoon with the right person.
Orbitals delivers excellent two-player puzzles, constant teamwork, anime-inspired visuals, and charming characters in a short but rewarding co-op adventure.
We're reviewing Orbitals, the latest game from one of the creators of It Takes Two. Read our thoughts on the game.
Orbitals, a retro anime-inspired co-op game, combines evocative aesthetics and varied gameplay, making it stand out among titles in its genre.
Top notch co-op adventuring comes to Switch 2, and it's gorgeous to boot.
Despite its late-game stumbles, Orbitals is an utter joy that captures the nostalgia and innocence of classic anime, turning it into an inventive, thoroughly enjoyable co-op adventure. With brilliant puzzles, a gorgeous setting, and lovable protagonists, Shapefarm has delivered a trip down memory lane worth taking. It’s a stacked month of releases, but if you’re a Switch 2 owner, this needs to be in your orbit. (Not proud of that one).
What begins as a fairly unremarkable co-op jaunt gradually blossoms into something ambitious, imaginative and at times, down-right spectacular. Our Orbitals Review.

Is the anime-infused cooperative adventure all we've been looking for?
Orbitals looks incredible and it's a great time to play with a friend, but can't quite match the sheer inventiveness of It Takes Two.
When a former Hazelight developer teams up with fans of 1980s anime, the result is Orbitals: a fully co-op sci-fi game with a highly stylized aesthetic, reminiscent of a classic children's TV series. On paper, this Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive for the fall season has everything going for it. But how does it play?
Orbitals combines co-op puzzles with a beautiful retro anime style. Read our review to find out if this space adventure is worth it.
Orbitals (Switch 2) Review – 7/10: Orbitals is a stunningly beautiful sci-fi adventure with decent gameplay and a disappointing story. - Game Informer
Immaculate anime stylings aside, Orbitals doesn't bring an awful lot to the post-It Takes Two co-op renaissance, but it's rarely a bad hang. Our review.
Co-op games sit at the very heart of this industry. It’s hard to imagine my life without the numerous co-op experiences that have defined it, whether that be the late-night Halo campaign grinds or the laugh-filled play sessions of Hazelight’s games. I haven’t had my co-op fill for the year yet, but there’s a particular game […]
