Close to The Sun - Nintendo Switch

Good little gem if you like games like Bioshock, System Shock or you're into ambience horror, steampunk. Lovecraft or Tesla.

The game play is a tad confusing at first and the graphics are not the best.

It is probably a better experience on PC than on Nintendo switch. The graphics are kind of fuzzy. Also it's a horror game and when I bought it I thought I would like it but I realized that I'm not jump-scare type of person. It's very enjoyable how much I played it though I would look up YouTube videos to give you like a little bit of background before you buy.

UPDATE: I ended up making it through all 10 chapters… frame rate is really rough (single-digit in the worst areas) and resolution in detailed areas is probably 360p or worse. I’ve sent notes to both the publisher and developer because this never should have been released on the Switch in this state.Other reviews posted here have it basically right... good game, awesome atmosphere (think Bioshock meets MYST less combat) but graphics on this particular port of the game are really, really bad...Anti-aliasing was apparently dropped (probably due to performance issues) and interior scenes really suffer for it (every straight line is a staircase). Textures are muddy and draw distances can be seen within even the most confined spaces (intro cabin).I have a feeling that, in order to port this to Switch, the devs made whatever mandatory changes were necessary to get the engine running, and then worked backwards by culling features/presets and texture/resolution until they averaged their target framerate (I say average because it struggles to run smooth on occasion). In docked mode, it really looks like the game is locked in 720p or worse.I'm having a hard time convincing myself it's worth it to buy this game a 2nd time on Steam to really be able to enjoy it... in docked mode my eyes feel strained after 20min and in handheld, I can't even make out many of the details within the game in the first place.Disappointing...

Good god!! The graphics are so terrible!!! i can’t believe they let this go out looking like this!! It hurt my eyes to play it!! I returned and got it for the ps4 instead and its absolutely stunning.

The premise for this was interesting, I'll give you that. But the game play was difficult. I think I read somewhere that this was adapted from a PC game? If that's the case, it felt like the designers didn't really take some of the differences in the way PC vs Switch works. There were several instances within the game where things wouldn't respond like it seemed to be expecting and getting through levels was difficult. I ended up not finishing this because I got so frustrated with the way things were not-working

Switch ports can look and play great if the devs actually try. These devs did not try. This game looks awful on the Switch. Do not buy this version.

The story is compelling, the graphics for the most part are decent for the Switch port. BUT. The port is so glitchy and slow that when there are certain things happening, like chase scenes or something that involves more than just you in a dark room slowly moving around, the frame drops and slow downs are so bad that they make certain parts unplayable. It’s really a shame. I’m sure it is better on more powerful hardware, but avoid it for the Switch.
