This port casts a glaring spotlight on Switch's comparatively weak specs, but also acts as an ad for the console's handheld and tabletop modes
While the Wii U version is undoubtedly inferior to the PS4 and Xbox One offerings in terms of presentation, there's no denying that the Skylanders Imaginators offers a lot of value thanks to its character creation mode. While some might argue that this focus on virtual creatures goes against the tactile experience so beloved of toys to life players,...
The increased role-playing elements add another interesting angle to an already accomplished franchise, but the cynical attempts to fleece parents’ wallets are hard to defend.
The sixth installment of Activision's Skylanders toys-to-life series just might be the best one yet.
