"Don’t be fooled by its looks and presentation. While Snake Pass looks like a Rare-ish platformer, sounds like a Rare-ish platformer (David Wise is the composer of the pretty good soundtrack, by the way) and has the charm of a Rare-ish platformer, the game is more of a 3D puzzle than anything else. Yes, you do traverse platform-ish levels and have to collect items in order to proceed, but given the nature of the gameplay, its difficulty level and linearity, you’ll easily see it’s more of a puzzle than a new Banjo. Then again, that is not a bad thing, at all. This is one of the most innovative games I’ve seen in years, and can’t think of anything that plays like it.
If anything, I have to give major credits to the developers for how creative and unique Snake Pass‘ gameplay is. Not a single game out there recreates the feeling and the hardships of moving a snake around like this one does."
It seems like every day now, there's at least one game out there that is being given away for free, not that this is a thing to complain about.

But there is always room on those hard drives for us to consider further additions to our Xbox libraries, and once more the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale is one of the very best ways of getting new games added in, for a very low outlay. That is no different with the latest sale and the one running between the 5th-11th May 2020 provides some very interesting options for those gaming on both Xbox One and Xbox 360."
A number of new deals are up and running on the North American Switch eShop. These include Drawful 2, Night in the Woods, Pikuniku, Revenge of the Bird King, Runner3, Snake Pass, and more.
The game wasn't as bad as I thought that it would be (it's decent imo).
