Miitopia (Switch)

If you’re looking for a deep and tactical JRPG with an excellent story you might want to look elsewhere, but if you’re looking for a fun and simple JRPG with a great sense of humour, you should certainly check out Miitopia.

Miitopia is mostly the same on Switch, to a fault. If you weren’t crazy about this one on 3DS it won’t change your mind, and the same flaws are intact here. Still, if you’re an incredibly creative person that loves to spend their days endlessly perfecting Miis, you’ll find a lot to love here. While its shortcomings are laid bare, its core strength, personality, is at the forefront.

You’re not going to see Miitopia listed as a game of the year contender anywhere, but it’s a decent game for a console that has not seen many first-party releases over the last year. It’s absolutely worth picking up if you’re just looking for a silly game that can last you a while.

Miitopia winds up being little more than a great character creator attached to an overly simple game that, while charming in its visuals and dialogue, is a mostly passive experience. Watching you recreate your favorite fictional character ships in-game or fighting Evil Guy Fieri has some brief appeal, but once those initial chuckles fade, Miitopia is disappointingly shallow.
