Hand In Hand

Hand in Hand is a 2D split-screen platformer with fairy-tale and evocative tones that, at the expense of a slight cumbersomeness in the coordination of the two characters, offers players a graceful and intriguing platforming and puzzle adventure. The puzzles within the title, which are far from hostile, will require precision in movement and reasoning skills to best coordinate the characters' abilities. An enjoyable split-screen game that we hope will prune forward this genre, which has never been appreciated enough.

A satisfying mix of puzzles and not-too-taxing platforming to enjoy co-op or solo in a pinch

Hand in Hand is a beautifully created game with a narrative which is sure to warm the hearts of young and old alike. It’s challenging without being frustrating, and I absolutely loved playing it. I have still yet to complete it, but my 11-year-old and I are working on it and enjoying bonding time while we do so. I’d definitely recommend this game in co-op mode rather than solo mode purely because it’s far easier to navigate one character than two, but if you’re up for a challenge, then solo mode is also worth a shot. Either way, Hand in Hand is a beautiful addition to the Nintendo Switch catalogue

Hand in Hand is a masterfully crafted gaming experience that seamlessly integrates split-screen gameplay with an emotionally charged narrative. Its enchanting world, compelling characters, and emphasis on cooperation make it a standout atmospheric platformer. Whether playing alone or with a friend, Hand in Hand invites players to embark on a magical journey where love conquers all and cooperation is the key to triumph.
