Eurogamer gives the game 4/5 and characterizes the offshoot as a hectic, often overwhelming delight. That score and characterization belong to Eurogamer.

The Guardian takes a less favorable view of the single-player offshoot, describing it as run-of-the-mill in the article's standfirst. The article does not display a numerical score.

A score belongs to the outlet that issued it. This guide shows an outlet's name, author, date, score where the outlet displays one, a short neutral summary, and a direct source link. It does not calculate an aggregate, present media opinions as a player consensus, or quote extended passages from copyrighted reviews.
Source boundary
Reviewers may discuss their experience, but product platform, price, service requirements, and feature confirmation are governed by Nintendo's current public information. When a review describes a mechanism that Nintendo has not documented publicly, it stays clearly attributed to the review rather than being converted into a site-wide fact.
Publisher
Named so readers can assess the outlet and navigate to the source.
Author and date
Included for traceability and context.
Fact check
Official game-feature claims link to Nintendo, not to press summaries.

Only a short attributed summary appears on this site. The original review remains the source for its analysis and conclusions.
