Introduction

Dragons, fire-breathing beasts with an attitude problem, take center stage in 'DreamWorks Dragons: Dawn of New Riders.' This action-adventure game gives you a chance to train dragons-because clearly, actual training is way too hard-and embark on a wild journey full of puzzles, battles, and the occasional dragon-shaped cake. Perfect for those who dream of becoming Viking dragon trainers while playing on a Switch, this game has more twists than a dragon's tail!

Gameplay

Get ready to hop onto your dragon and flex those virtual muscles! You'll tackle challenges, solve puzzles, and sometimes just fly around like you're in a celestial race. The game lets you switch between two characters, Scribbler and Patch, who should surely be a band name. Each brings unique skills to the table: Scribbler is the brains (well, sort of), while Patch is the muscular alternative, perfect for smashing things. Fly through vast landscapes and engage in epic dragon battles, usually against things that look terribly evil and sad because they can't be dragons. And yes, there are a few puzzles-after all, what's a game without a chance to feel dumb while scratching your head and questioning your life choices?

Graphics

Now, let's talk graphics. If you love delightful cartoonish aesthetics that make you feel like you just stepped into a Saturday morning cartoon, you're in for a treat! The colors are vibrant, the character designs are adorably quirky, and the world is as inviting as a dragon's hug (minus the singeing). While it may not exactly be groundbreaking, the colorful visuals definitely serve their purpose, making you feel like you're really living in the whimsical world of 'How to Train Your Dragon.' Plus, Toothless looks fantastic-just don't try to ride him in real life; he's not trained, and you definitely will become a crispy Viking!

Conclusion

'DreamWorks Dragons: Dawn of New Riders' embraces the charming essence of the beloved franchise and adds in enough flair to keep you entertained. It's not quite 'Game of the Year' material, but it's a delightful escape for dragon lovers and fans of the franchise. The mix of action, adventure, and dragons (obviously) makes it a worthwhile experience, especially when you're passing the time before the next live-action adaptation hits. So grab your Joy-Cons, summon your inner Viking, and prepare for some mystical dragon adventures-with just a dash of silliness and fun!
