VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Survival Kids on Switch 2 is a middling game — not because it doesn't follow the template of the Game Boy original exactly, but because it fails to leverage its rules and mechanics in interesting, engaging, and dangerous ways. There's too much repetitive fetching and crafting, too many stops and starts, and too few situations that truly test you, physically or mentally. Playing through the game, I couldn't help wonder what could have been if Unity had deployed these controls, crafting mechanics, and multiplayer options in a high-stakes open world where survival wasn't guaranteed. As it stands now, it's fine for younger and less experienced players, but not ideal for those seeking something more involved, challenging, and long-lasting."
"Do the names Survival Kids and Lost in Blue ring any bells? I wouldn't fault you if both sound foreign." - Infinite Start
Survival Kids tries and fails to rekindle an old Konami franchise by bringing it to the Switch 2, but ends up leaving it stranded and to fend for its own.
