ThroughLine Games brings its fantastic story to Nintendo Switch.
Forgotton Anne is an evocative, artistic triumph that nails that feeling of a ‘living anime'. Sure, the puzzles are hardly mind-blowing, and some later sections may test your patience, but the beauty of the art and the gentle humour of the writing should carry you through these irritations. Animation buffs should dive in without reservation, and we'd recommend anyone with even the slightest interest check this out.
The game is absolutely beautiful and has very few flaws.
Unbelievably fun adventure game with beautiful 2D graphics. Charming atmosphere and interesting main character translate into hours of great narrative.

A nice surprise, Forgotton Anne is an endearing anime-style platformer that doesn't deserve to go to landfill.
A stunning game on every front, and it deserves the praise it gets.
A beautifully animated story, held back only by mediocre puzzles and questionable design choices.
When the weakest part of a game is the gameplay often it is enough to see the game instantly hitting the bargain bins or at least strongly criticised. Forgotton Anne manages to break that logic by featuring a compelling, deep and questioning storyline and jaw-dropping presentation that makes the mediocre puzzles worth muddling through. Taking around seven hours to complete the game isn't super long and a few hours of that time can be attributed to journeying across the 2D screen. If you appreciate the art style this doesn't feel like wasted time, instead time for indulging and enjoying the world. A world that is the perfect mixture of the believable and bizarre. Forgotton Anne might not be for everyone but those drawn in by the art and the promise of a story won't be disappointed.
While it may not be adding tricks at every turn to the platformer genre or making a name for itself with its minimal puzzles, Forgotton Anne will surely win many over with its gorgeous, animated visuals and more importantly, its sense of wonder.
Forgotton Anne is a wholly unique and evocative experience. While it delivers on the selling point of the beautiful hand-drawn anime art style, it backs it up with fantastic story and engaging gameplay. This is truly something special we have here, something that must be explored by anyone who can get their hands on the game.
A beautiful platform adventure with gentle puzzle solving and a strong anime influence. Highly recommended.
Forgotton Anne is good at telling a story, and creating a new world filled with magical things. The hand-painted art style and the background music are remarkable, and the puzzle part has some strengths too. However, the handling feel of this game is not satisfactory enough, which kind of reminds me the original version of Prince of Persia.

Forgotton Anne tells a wonderful story about the importance of memories, the feelings and some modern problems of our society. Artistically wonderful, the game is a bit too guided and offers simple puzzles.

Forgotten Anne is an anime brought to life, where you play the role of the heroine through a Studio Ghibli-esque world full of mystery and wonder. The puzzles will scratch that itch in your brain, but the visuals and soundtrack will blow your mind.
'Forgotton Anne' has a little bit of each of cartoons, platformers, interactive visual novels and an overused mechanic but a whole lot of originality in a refreshing title.
Forgotton Anne is a brilliant debut.
Forgotton Anne hits the right spot in many aspects. With a very well-developed narrative, simple gameplay mechanics, it's attractive to any kind of player. The graphics and animation deliver an excellent nostalgic feeling. If you seek games with a story that catches your attention, Forgotton Anne is a game to be played in 2018.

Forgotton Anne beautifully weaves 2D animation into a compelling adventure, that seems like fun but becomes something of a controller hassle from time to time
