As wacky and zany of a concept that Sushi Striker is at first glance, it’s surprisingly addictive puzzle mechanics and pick-up-and-play nature make for a well-made gem of a title that one shouldn’t ignore.

Critic reviews
- Sushi Striker has some interesting ideas and it is a bit deeper than its mobile-esque aesthetics may make you believe, but it’s far from the amazing exclusive title I was told this game was. Its usage of RPG mechanics is interesting, but the core (and repetitive) gameplay is basically what you would expect from a mobile puzzle.
- Sushi Striker overall is solidly made and had me addicted to its simple yet challenging battles. It’s a game that allows anyone to play in whatever manner they choose. This is definitely one game that I would recommend to anyone looking for a fun and fresh adventure… just try not to play on an empty stomach.
- Even though its online multiplayer isn’t perfect, and the Switch version specifically can occasionally suffer from a lack of precision when using a controller, Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido wound up being one of the most original and entertaining puzzle games I have played in years. It exudes the quirk and charm typically associated with some of Nintendo’s most popular IPs, so I hope this isn’t the last we see of Sushi Striker and its adorably odd world.
- 9.0While the price may be a bit steep for some right now, Sushi Striker is one of the best Nintendo Switch games out there right now simply thanks to the fact it fires on all cylinders and lands every shot. As someone who doesn't have much love for sushi in real life, Sushi Striker is a really special game that should be rewarded for its original and high-quality presentation, a unique world filled with depth and brilliant and fast gameplay that meshes instinct with strategy and puzzle solving. Nintendo has delivered yet another incredible experience that only the Nintendo Switch can offer.
- There’s a great level of challenge to be had, but it lends itself well to those who might be beginners to this sort of puzzle entry and eases people into every new mechanic along the way. With a wonderful cheerful story and plenty of enjoyable moments, Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido is a near-instant classic for the puzzle genre and an absolute treat to play.
