We are always excited to discover a new retro-style puzzler, and the upcoming Isles of Sea and Sky seems to have all the potential to be a challenging and captivating experience. Unfortunately, there is no confirmation yet regarding its availability on the Switch.

In their official press kit, developer Cicada Games expressed their interest in expanding their reach beyond Steam and exploring the possibility of a console release, specifically mentioning the Nintendo Switch as a potential platform. While a release date for the console version has not been confirmed, fans can look forward to the game’s arrival on Steam in 2024. We really hope it finds its way to the Switch, as it appears to be a delightful little puzzler that allows you to explore an open world and tackle a range of puzzles in any order you prefer.

Mastering the art of puzzle-solving involves strategically maneuvering blocks to trigger a series of events that can unlock hidden passages and uncover valuable treasures. The narrative is conveyed entirely through visual means, making it accessible and enjoyable for individuals of all ages. We find it quite enjoyable, with visuals and overworld design that remind us of Zelda: Link’s Awakening.

Now let’s delve into the important aspects:

Solve open-world puzzles. Complete puzzles and explore in whatever order you choose. Get stuck? Feel free to leave a puzzle and return to it later with a new perspective.
intuitive and accessible puzzling: controls are simple and directional only; designed so that people of most physical abilities can enjoy them.
