Ultros – Nintendo Switch

Rating: 3 out of 5.

A genuinely innovative Metroidvania that puts backtracking at its centre. A time hopping narrative hook gives players the opportunity to shape Ultros’ fluorescent world. Planting saplings that will one day become vines to swing from, platforms to stand on, or provide nutritious bounty. In Ultros you are what you eat, and each meal can be used to unlock new abilities. Ultros offers up more agency than most, but not as much challenge. An intriguing game, that takes a little too long to show its best.
