This game changed my life. I was turning 36 a few years ago when my wife passed away. I was going through a lot of grief and got into collecting LOL Surprise dolls since it was my wife's hobby. Eventually I found this game and knew I had to play it, I went to the store the next day to get the game and I was astonished by its complexities and game-play, honestly it felt like my wife was with me while I was playing. This game helped me grieve and I would recomend this game if you are in a similar situation. It covers a lot of topics like grief in very mature and thought provoking manner, I have recomended this game to many a person. Play this game if you want dozens of hours of fun, combined with an amazing story that can get a person like me through grief.
LOL Surprise! Remix: We Rule The World
This games ****, LOL surprise!
My girlfriends niece is obsessed with LOL Surprise, so I went into this game knowing quite a bit of what makes this IP so popular.. its basically the pokemon cards of dolls, you buy surprise packs, you get surprise characters, outfits and hair, so you can mix and match.. you would obviously think a game based on this concept could be super fun and addictive, running around earning and finding new outfits and hair for your character, but we rule the world does absolutely nothing to mirror the real life draw to these dolls.. there is no surprise here other than how bad this game **** can customize your charcter before you start, but you get like 5 options.. and after that.. there is no.. and I mean no.. 0 customizing for the rest of this game.. whats the points, whats the point of making an lol game that isn’t about collecting outfits and such. Instead you walk around this little tiny open world that looks like a flash game from the early 2000s, completing quests for the different charatcers which involve ither going to an area and grabbing them an item, taking a picture of something, or playing a mini game… im not gonna lie, I didn’t hate my time running around and completing tasks, doing these mindless quick time event mini games, mostly just matching the buttons on the screen, but everything can be completed in less than an hr and a half.. all that’s left to do is to earn tokens to unlock “surprises” .. these surprises btw aren’t surprises, you knw whats in them.. all it is is decoration for your apartment… and the kicer is, you don’t even get to decorate, you just unlock items and the game throws them in for you.. so youre basically told, good job beating them game, replay these dull and boring mini games for 8 more hours to make your room look fancy.. nah.. this game is bad, even for your daughter, neice, nephew, granddaughter, whoever is into LOL surprise, this game doesn’t do anything that makes this property so special to them,, theres no customization, no self expression, no fun.
I give LOL Surprise! Remix: We Rule The World
a 3.5/10
Without the update, the game is literally borderline non-existent. Their is only basic 3d modeling, no context, and horrible looking arrows that show you where to go. After the update, there is context and things do in fact look better, but run very very slowly. The tutorial also keeps asking if you want to repeat information when it doesn't discuss anything of any real importance. In both instances, however, the game is basicallyunplayable. The slow, unoptimized gameplay really drags things down, and it's infuriating having a permanent controller guide on the bottom left corner of the screen. The fact that it's semitransparent gives the impression that they built this as a mobile game and changed it to switch at the last possible moment. The loading screens are ridiculous as well. I get that I'm absolutely not the target demographic here, but no one should be forced to endure this excuse ****.
Let me preface this real quick: My mom bought this as a gift for my younger sister - specifically, the physical release: game case, cartridge and all. Given it released beyond the eShop, I figured whatever game this was would be serviceable for her age. Certainly not good, but also not a broken mess like what you'd from the Switch eShop's most infamous offerings.
I was not prepared. Not prepared at all.
As someone more than well-acquainted with the depths of the Switch library, LOL Surprise! Remix: We Rule the World stupified me. The fact this game, which genuinely and non-hyperbolically looks and plays like a 1-star game from Miniclip, was actually physically released for the Nintendo Switch makes me think this cart has the potential to become a Hong-Kong-97-esque kind of "bad game" discovery some day in the future. I have seen many bad games released for the Switch, the worst ones being eShop-exclusive; but this game easily competes with some of the eShop's worst and laziest releases... *and it had a physical release!* It's truly dumbfounding.
I have never seen a retail release for the console have so little care put in every fathomable area. Posters float in mid-air with no allegiance to any walls, and sides of buildings have no consistent scaling on their textures with some walls' textures being really comically overstretched. Tables more often than not have polygonal food and utensils sticking through them (note: These are stationary assets). The UI's text, including things as trivial as button prompts, just sits wherever it wants, never evenly displaying where it's seemingly meant to. Basically zero diegetic sound effects exist in-game, with the overwhelming bulk of the game's sound consisting of a deplorably small selection of background music.
The actual gameplay does not fare any better. Your primary objective is wandering around a huge party at a pier (which feels about as alive as the cardboard city from that one Ed Edd n Eddy episode), engaging in mind-numbingly basic fetchquests that consist exclusively of talking to the ugly doll... toddlers?... kids?... whatever age group this is. The monotony is occasionally broken by rhythm dance minigames! But don't get too excited, as they're not only just as poorly-presented as everything else, but they engage in the cardinal sin of making you push buttons with no actual correlation to the music. What really brings the package together is a landmark I like to call The Road to Nowhere: On the surface, it's an innocuous gray dock sitting on the south shoreline, but do not be fooled! If you attempt to walk on it, an invisible force drags your character into the bottomless softlock void, mercifully subjecting them to a neverending descent away from the nonsense and giving you an excuse to hit the sacred button sequence of HOME + X + A.
The whole ordeal feels like they forced people who helped manufacture the dolls to make a mobile game with almost zero gamedev knowledge and decided last-minute to release it on Switch instead... Yes, I said "instead" - this seems to somehow be a Switch exclusive. Not even a port. Incredible. For my money, this is one of the most mystifying releases in the entire Nintendo Switch catalog. If you think the quality control for retail Switch releases can't get anywhere near as depraved as the eShop can get, LOLSRWRTW (what an initialism) is certain to be a rude awakening. Nothing I can say here can do the sights seen in this abomination justice. If there is a worse quality game for the system that has actually taken space on a shelf, I have yet to see it.
For a game that was made in the past 5 years this game looks like it could have been made in the mid 90s flash and still have been a low quality game. The house has furniture put in when you unlock it by playing mindless repetitive mini games, but you can't choose where you want it. The house also has terrible clipping, so you can see right outside the walls into the abyss. The games loading tubes are soo long for almost no content. If I bought this game I would have returned it immediately.
