Despite an oddly placed bullet hell section and a story that takes a couple of playthroughs to fully grasp, Need a Packet is a fun game with a simple gameplay loop. Mix that in with the eerily fun graphics, this is a truly interesting addition to your Switch library.

Critic reviews
- 5.5There's clearly a good game in Need a Packet?, but a number of issues ranging from bugs and glitches to under-developed narrative threads keep it from greatness. That said, I did enjoy playing it for the most part - this type of gameplay design is still quite rare and it's mostly well executed here. I hope the developer takes the time to further develop what worked and refine what didn't in a much-improved sequel.
