The Switch just can’t handle blades of grass blowing in the wind, I guess. You don’t have to spend much time there and I imagine it’s a beautiful area on other systems, but it stuttered so badly on Switch it made me nauseous. That is, until one particular, late game zone I don’t want to spoil. Despite the occasional hiccup, particularly at transitions between battles or talking to people, it held up okay. I played Ooblets on Nintendo Switch, and it’s worth quickly talking about its performance on the system.

But it’s gorgeous, so, worth it! You can even give it a matching bow tie! Glob, I struggled hard finding the Soggy Bread recipe in time to battle this dang pink Gleamy Bibbins. I can’t tell you how many times I stumbled upon a rare Gleamy Ooblet (its equivalent of Pokemon’s Shinies), then excitedly scrambled to grow or craft the item it demanded before it disappeared at the end of the day. Each Oooblet has three variations, too–common, uncommon, and Gleamy–all of which you can turn in for increasing amounts, making it wise to stay stocked on duplicates of each enticing item I discovered. Welcoming a new Ooblet meant I could scan it to add to the almanac and earn Gummies, Ooblets’ currency.
