  Despite a couple of blemishes, The FRAMED Collection is a clever and stylish addition to the Switch library. Inevitably, it’s much smoother to play with touch controls, but it’s worth seeing the bold characters and more vibrant set pieces play out on a big TV. A couple of iffy puzzles and a fairly short run time for both games shouldn’t put you off too much, as there are some excellent ideas here and a refreshingly cool overall experience.

  The Framed Collection is a beautiful experiment in interactivity. The heist-comic book premise permeates every inch of these games from puzzles to story to art. A few puzzles didn't quite land for me, but the tight pacing and variety in complexity kept me engaged until the end that came too soon.

  Barring some odd porting issues on Switch (which I can’t test), I highly recommend you grab the FRAMED Collection on your platform of choice. If you’re a fan of noir thrillers, puzzle games or just creatively presented ideas, you’re bound to find something you’ll enjoy here. It also won’t require a massive time investment, which is always a plus.

  Framed Collection is easily one of the more unique puzzle games that I’ve played. In a genre drowning in match-three games, freemium shovelware, and Bust-a-Move clones, it’s brilliant to see a puzzle game that does something totally different. Now they’ve ported their opus magnum, I really hope Loveshack start working on some more games, as the puzzle game world really needs developers with some ingenuity at the moment.

  The Framed Collection might be “just” another mobile port, but it is one that is right at home on the Switch. You might not spend that much time with the two games included, but you’ll enjoy every scene that you play.
