This review is coming a little later then expected, because we ran into issues. We got stuck in a glitch we were stuck in a couple weeks. There was a boss fight , and our respawn was right in his clutches. Once we were able to find out how to restart the level everything was good to go, and we knocked it out pretty quickly. mainly because the campaign is only two hours. Maybe three if your trying to collect all the achievements. It's an adorable, yet hilarious indie depending on you I guess. If you find poo and fart jokes funny still it's going to make you laugh. There are also moments that tickle the heart string.

Bulb Boy is about a little light bulb who has his house is taken over by evil taking away his grandfather. His journey is to get him back just him and his dog. Its really a simple point and click horror puzzler, but without really difficult puzzles. There really isn't a lot of game play to it. It feels at times like a animated horror story, because there isn't a whole lot to click on. The story how ever still pulls you in.It really is better than it sounds, and is quite a delight. The art is creepy yet beautiful. The bosses are truly unique and horrifying. The sounds are eerie, and fit perfectly into the environments.

There isn't a whole lot released on the Nintendo Switch so far, but this is one I know was just released on there. So if your a Switch owner I couldn't see passing this up. Especially at only 9.99. It really feels a lot like a few comics I've read, and like a few 90's cartoons that were way out there like Courage the Cowardly Dog or Ren and Stimpy. It isn't going to blow you away, and it probably isn't for everyone but to a lot of you certainly worth your time.

Pros: Creepy Art, and Bosses

Funny, and adorable story

Great unique bosses

Brilliant achievements and Easter Eggs

Cons: Glitchy

Not a whole lot going on with game play at times.

Overall: 7.9 Bulb Boy's game play might not set it aside from other point and click horror titles, but ts cute and hilarious story sure does.
