I had that happen (an empty, sealed box with nothing inside) and started a chat and they refunded me right away without question. I think you just gotta get lucky with the right support rep.

I still have two stuffed monkeys I “won” from that site, from when I was young and stupid and didn’t realize I was probably paying for them with my personal data.

I played it on the PS5 but I’ve seen performance comparisons. The Switch version runs at 60 FPS and the game was apparently built with that platform in mind, so it definitely seems like a safe bet! I’ve been burned by split-platform releases having a terrible Switch version before, but this one seems basically as good as any other version where it counts.

It’s really weird how with gaming reviews in particular, people seem to demand uniformity. You’re a shill if you positively review a game that’s mostly reviewing poorly, and a hack if you give a game that’s reviewing well a number that isn’t high enough.

It’s probably sacrilege to say (especially considering what a mess Ubisoft is as a company), but I think it’s even better than Metroid Dread. They really took every lesson from the best games in the genre to make something great. Biggest surprise of the year for me so far.

This got a 9/10 - the 7 was for the previous version.
