    Just a Phrase by POWGI is a no-frills game that would’ve worked much better as part of a collection than a standalone release. It misses the mark in several key ways. I expected better than a quick game beaten with minimal effort. Fans of Lightwood Games might wait for a sale. Otherwise, take a pass.

    Just a Phrase by POWGI sits just ahead of the others that have been before. Now these puns are the answers and help make what would otherwise be a generic Hangman clone far more interesting and funnier. The decision to only select one letter from a group of four also works, making it a far easier game.

    Just a Phrase by POWGI is among the dullest games on the Switch to date. The soundtrack is cute and the game runs well, but you’ll spend so little time with this one that this means next to nothing.

About the game

Trailers & Screenshots:

A hangman-style word game with a twist.
One word in every phrase has been replaced by a homophone to make it tougher to deduce. 
Like NUCLEAR WAIST or STRIKE THE RIGHT CORD
The new phrases sound familiar when read aloud, but have humorous or surreal new meanings.
