"Solving puzzles in Felix the Reaper can be rewarding but with so many abstruse solutions, many of them are hard to enjoy."

"Felix the Reaper&s;s protagonist is a joy to watch in motion, but every other part of this frustrating puzzle game fails to match that level of charm."

"GOOD - Felix The Reaper brings a tragic comedy in the form of a challenging puzzle game to the Nintendo Switch. With a catchy soundtrack, vibrant visuals, and a reasonably fun storyline narrated by Sir Patrick Stewart, there’s a good …"

"The personality of this world and its characters are outright endearing. However, the lack of any real narrative is a large oversight in my book. However, those looking for fun and, at times, difficult puzzles are guaranteed to enjoy what …"

"With a lovable protagonist and a soundtrack to die for, Felix The Reaper&s;s innovatively designed puzzles are hindered only by a fussy camera. At its core, however, resides an inexorable charm that deems this title a truly novel gem."
