  Marooners has some conceptual curiosity that translates into decisions not working in the game’s favor. I don’t see this one having any legs on the Nintendo Switch. Were it only $4.99, I’d probably be a bit more forgiving towards the numerous ways it falls short in comparison to other party games. But this is a $14.99 release, quite high for what’s here. I just don’t see it. Marooners is a poor offering with entertainment in short supply.

  The sound effects and music add little to the overall experience, and the customization aspects are only skin deep. Additional modes and options would go a long way to increasing its value, but as it is, Marooners is just okay. There are much more compelling multiplayer experiences on the crowded Switch island.

  Marooners can be fun with the right people but ultimately it lacks a lot of polish. The AI is lacklustre, there’s not a huge amount of content, and the online community is practically non-existent.

  Marooners isn’t anywhere near as exciting as a party game should be. Despite some well detailed maps and a few innovative game types, the overall package just doesn’t cut it. I have no doubt that this will please the younger audience, but there are better party games available on Xbox One that offer much more fun and longevity.

  7.0

  Although Marooners is fun, it’s limited. Once you’ve played it a few times, the novel concept of spontaneously switching between mini-games becomes familiar and quite frankly, a little bit dull. It’s a great choice if you have a spare few minutes with your mates, but its lack of content can’t really compete with some of the bigger party games on the market.

  Marooners has bite-size gameplay bursts like WarioWare, but doesn’t manage to quickly grab the attention in the same way. Too many similar games make this feel like just another party game.
