Yes, Game Builder Garage is rather more limited in a number of ways but I rate it up there with its PlayStation counterpart. Superb. And I'm a grown man!… Expand

   amazing game/tool; the tutorial tho, it should be reworked and focused in two modes ("new to programming" and "i have experience"), theamazing game/tool; the tutorial tho, it should be reworked and focused in two modes ("new to programming" and "i have experience"), the dialogue in the tutorials should be in less quantity, too much unnecesary dialogue that doesnt teach programming.
   it doesnt have a search system which is sad, but i understand why is made like this, if not NSFW things probably would flood the community… Expand

I expected it to be either too basic, or too complicated. Thankfully Nintendo found a perfect balance with the creator. It has issues, for sure: it could have done with a couple of more game tutorials to cover the other Nodons, and some music in the creator would have been nice. With that being said, the creator is surprisingly accessible and extremely rewarding – even more so than Super Mario Maker 2 (at least, in my opinion). Hopefully Nintendo will support it down the line with additional lessons and maybe some extra objects. Any creatively minded Switch owners should snap this up, especially considering the uncharacteristically low selling price for a Nintendo game."

   For anyone who wants to to create games on Switch this tool gives that ability, …sort off. First is the learning part. There are a number ofFor anyone who wants to to create games on Switch this tool gives that ability, …sort off. First is the learning part. There are a number of example games you get to build while the game tells you what to do. To me this part was quite tedious, mostly because of the ‘Funny banter’ between the nodons. Nodons are basically your programming tools. Nintendo gave the various nodons a unique personality. (Possibly to apeal to a younger audience?) This extra text makes the learning segment much longer then needed. After clearing each project you get a couple of ‘checkpoint’ puzzles where you can practice what you have learned. Then after finishing all projects you get another 50 of those puzzles. Those are great. Had a lot of fun figuring those out. And that’s it.
   There is still the free programming part of this game, which is obviously the main attraction. You would think after doing all those lessons and puzzles you would have a basic understanding of how everything works, but no. There are many nodons left that did not get explained. The in-game help on each nodon is seriously lacking. There should have been explanations and examples on each nodon but there is hardly any. In the end this software tool gives back what you put into it. It is all up to your imagination, creativity and perseverance. Is it worth the price? Definitely. The 50 ‘extra checkpoint’ puzzles at the end provided me with a lot of fun. The tool in itself is quite complex and needs a person who loves to figure things out around the limitations. This in itself makes it probably not very suitable for the really young. Which makes it weird that the tone of the lessons is clearly aimed at a younger audience. I have fun with it but also a lot of frustrations. Once I figure a thing out when I have been thinking about it and trying things for days is the best feeling, but the price is a serious headache. Perhaps people with a background in programming have an easier time, but I do love to figure things out and Game Builder Garage gives you exactly that.… Expand
