Introduction

Ever wanted to travel the world faster than a cheetah on roller skates? Well, '80 Days' might just be the next best thing! Based on Jules Verne's classic novel, this game invites you to circumnavigate the globe in a mere 80 days—while also trying to keep your sanity intact. Let's see how it measures up!

Gameplay

'80 Days' is a delightful blend of storytelling and adventure where you play as Phileas Fogg's trusty manservant, Passepartout. Your job? To plan the most efficient (read: outrageous) travel route possible while avoiding disastrous financial decisions. Remember, every time you hesitate, Fogg might just raise an eyebrow so high it could float away! Your travels will send you hopping from one exotic location to another, where you'll make important choices like which mode of transportation to take or which market to buy spices (because who doesn't love exotic spices?). With over 750,000 words of content, it's like the developers wanted to write the next great American novel on your Switch. Spoiler alert: They did! Your decisions impact the story and change how the journey unfolds, leading to multiple endings—just keep in mind that not all roads lead to glory (looking at you, underwater hamster wheel).

Graphics

Picture this: gorgeous hand-drawn art filled with vibrant colors, intricate scenery, and quirky character designs. It looks like someone sprinkled joy and creativity all over the place. And if you thought travel was all about taking selfies at iconic landmarks, think again! The visual narrative is coupled with fantastic dialogue that’ll have you giggling while the sun sets on your virtual travels. It’s like reading a beautifully illustrated storybook—only you get to choose the path (and make occasional terrible decisions that will haunt your dreams).

Conclusion

'80 Days' on the Nintendo Switch is a glorious pick for any teenager looking for a world adventure wrapped in witty storytelling. With its branching narratives, fascinating art, and the chance to destroy Fogg’s reputation in just a few choices, this game is a total win! But if your attention span grooves more along the lines of a goldfish than a well-loved novel, brace yourself: this journey demands a certain flair for the dramatic and an appreciation for countless words. Pack your virtual bags; it's time for an adventure that’ll make you feel like an old-school explorer, minus the risk of scurvy. So, why wait? Hop on this steampunk-fueled locomotive of fun and prepare to question your life choices—preferably while embracing an animated adventure that’s fun, engaging, and delightfully whimsical!
