Read original review"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."
Read original review"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 …"

"Demanding puzzles with a charming main character and night-black humor. But the camera work pulls it down"
Read original review"Casual gamers beware: unless you’re a weathered pro at puzzle games, you’re likely to find Felix the Reaper to be tough-as-nails."
Read original review"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."

"While it has its occasional little issues here and there, Felix the Reaper stands out as one of the year&s;s best puzzlers."
Read original review"Though Patrick Stewart&s;s lovely voice and Felix&s;s dancing moves bring a smile to your face every now and then, nearly everything else in Felix The Reaper is uneven, uninteresting and annoying."

"Felix the Reaper is a challenging puzzle game that is supposed to be a romantic comedy about life and death, but for some reason leaves the romance and some of the comedy aspects out of almost the entire game."
Read original review"A wretched, annoying puzzle game that consists primarily of tedious busywork. While Felix the Reaper has bags of personality, a vein of dark humour, and the inimitable voice of Sir Patrick Stewart, it regrettably isn&s;t nearly as fun as it …"
Read original review"Felix the Reaper might not be for everyone. The mechanics are easy to figure out, but meeting the objectives is very challenging. It&s;s also very much a game about death. However, Felix is someone that is easy to root for. …"
