With this review of Caligo, I am saying goodbye to the Nintendo Switch. There may one of two lingering reviews left to do, but this is pretty much it. Starting soon, I will soft reboot the site into a Steam website that runs press-releases as well as reviews. Why? For one thing, the Switch 2 shows up in five days, I didn’t buy one and it just doesn’t interest me at present. But I’ll explain that at the end. So, what about the game? There’s isn’t much of one. Caligo is a walking simulator. You walk forward, something happens, you keep walking and something else will happen. It is extremely boring and nothing worth anyone’s time, in my humble opinion.
Sometimes there a picture to pick up, but that’s about it for game play in Caligo. There is a story. You start off in a dreadful place reminiscent of HR Giger. You meet “the master” who reveals to you who you are, and then takes you on a journey. Unfortunately, like most walking simulators, nothing of interest happens, and I legit almost feel asleep playing it. I can’t recommend this. This gets a Not Recommended with a four back-end score. But before I go, I have one last thing to say:
Caligo perfectly encapsulates how the Switch dies, slow, plodding and boring. There’s nothing of interest here, and nothing of interest to review for the Switch. The eShop is now nothing but AI Slop and I gave up finding things of interest weeks ago. However, the reason I didn’t get a Switch 2 is because the dev kits to small indies haven’t gone out yet(June 5th is what I have heard), and it may be a very long time before, and if, they ever show. So, again, I’m going to soft reboot starting next week as one a stop obscure-Steam indie press shop. Hope to see you there!
Overall: Caligo is walking simulator with no-edge and nothing of interest to hold your attention, despite trying really hard.
Verdict: Not Recommended
