"Survival Kids is a thoroughly competent, cosy game of cooperative gathering and crafting. It’s not much of a looker, and its ideas aren’t mind-blowing, but it’s all good stuff thanks to its robust controls and easy-to-grasp loop. I’m not sure I’d want to be stuck with it on a desert island, but it’s good company for several happy hours with a friend – especially a less experienced gamer. If you plan to get shipwrecked with a little one and giggle your way through it, go ahead and add a point to the score." - Roland Ingram | NintendoLife
Nintendo Switch 2 launch exclusive co-op game Survival Kids is one of the most tedious and repetitive games on the market today.
MonsterVine: "Survival Kids brings familiar resource-gathering mechanics and puzzle-solving to the Switch 2, but repetitive design, a frustrating stamina system, and odd progression decisions prevent it from becoming a standout launch title."
LLC: "A mixture of platforming and puzzling, Survival Kids is playable alone, but it’s improved by playing with additional teammates in up to 4-player co-op."
