Newt one has an interesting gameplay premise, regretfully that's all it ends up becoming. You're sure to entertain yourself for a while with the neat power-ups and collection of achievements to unlock. However, the game gets to be a bit too repetitive and the controls are a bit too loose to get full enjoyment from. Newt One's a great game if you want...

Overview
Newt One rewards you for how much life you bring to the game world, not how much life you take from it. Embodying your progress through color and music, Newt One's purpose is to generate happiness. You play as Newt, a new tone in a musical land that has fallen to the Great Slumber. Awakening this sleeping, silent world is your rite of passage. Seek out your friends and find the missing Elders to restore this realm's music, life, and color!

Reception
The premise is about restoring color to the world and bringing back music, but the music doesn't match the levels, and is missing sound effects. Newt's story is weirdly paced, and has a lot of unnecessary details that don't add anything to it. In short, unnecessary details trip up Newt One from being something interesting.
While the Switch certainly has some noteworthy family-friendly titles that isn't to say they're available in great abundance...
