- GameSpew8.0It was a joy to visit Part Time UFO again outside of a smart phone. Being on Switch gives the game new life, and it’s more enjoyable than ever. Thanks to its varied levels and its ridiculously cute characters, you’ll come back to it again and again. Just don’t expect too much from its multiplayer mode.
- Nintendo Insider8.0Part Time UFO is a delightful little gem that boasts plenty of charm and is sure to keep you smiling throughout. While I often find the claw machines in arcades to be a frustrating time, Part Time UFO is anything but and a strong recommendation if you’re after something easy to jump into alone or with a co-op partner in tow.
- 3rd-strike.com9.0A perfect game doesn’t exist, but Part Time UFO comes really close. Of course, the game isn’t in the same ballpark as major AAA titles, but you’re looking at a release that is only a fraction of the price of those big players. With delightful graphics and music, easy to pick up mechanics and perfectly balanced gameplay, Part Time UFO has quickly secured its place as a must-have title. The low price point and exclusive content makes adding Part Time UFO to your Switch library a no-brainer.
- Pure Nintendo8.5With new features, modes, and various quality of life upgrades from its mobile origins, Part Time UFO on Switch continues to exemplify the fun and quirky sensibilities of HAL Labs without losing a step or grip.
- Darkstation7.0Although I enjoyed my time with Part Time UFO, the later levels crossed the line from challenging to frustrating due to the physics and time limit in the game. It’s best enjoyed in short bursts of gameplay to minimize the frustration. That being said, if you like previous HAL games and physics-based puzzle games, I think you'll enjoy Part Time UFO. It's well-made and entertaining, just ultimately not my cup of tea.
