Poly Bridge takes an interesting gameplay concept and pairs it with a simply charming presentation. With all the building blocks in place, it seems like we’d have a great physics based puzzle game that allows freedom and creativity on our hands. However a rushed port with horrendous controls and a game altering bug turn this into an utterly frustrating experience on the Switch.

Critic reviews
- 8.0Poly Bridge is a great game because it can both be played in small chunks in between longer gaming sessions or for a quick pick-up-and-play experience but can also be the type of experience you can sink a lot of time and effort into and not get bored with. With an easy to use control scheme (so long as you stick to the touch screen), an appealing presentation and open-ended solutions, Poly Bridge is a game worth coming back to again and again.
- When the pieces come together, Poly Bridge gives you the chance to create some spectacular things. I almost cheered after building an elaborate vertical-lift bridge that allowed both cars and boats safe passage. Unfortunately, on the way back down, one of the hydraulic lifts tore apart its wooden supports, meaning it could never be used again. Poly Bridge proves that building monuments that last rarely comes easy
- While not exactly one of the best simulation games out there, Poly Bridge still manages to be quite unique and enjoyable, and easily has enough content to satisfy players for quite a while. It’s a calming (albeit frustrating at times) little bit of construction that sucks you in one way or another, be it the large campaign or the deep sandbox mode, which also doubles as way to ensure players keep adding more content as time goes on.
- 7.0Nonetheless Poly Bridge will manage to hold your interest for a good amount of time and any frustrations brought up while playing will quickly dissipate and return to enjoyment. The friendly low-poly style graphics mixed with the relaxing background music add up to a fun, casual playing experience that always brings you back for more.
- Poly Bridge provides to the player an extremely in-depth tool-set that is only limited by creativity, or, in quite a few cases, understanding of the mechanics. For those hungry to build bridges, it’s an essential purchase. If you don’t like the look of the challenge however, it may be water under the bridge.
