![]() ![]() How is the Switch performance here? Well, it’s fine for the most part with some painful areas sprinkled in. ![]() You’ll get opportunities to get these as you get deeper into the island and once you get all of them, they will open up the path to the next area for you. There will also be a signature creature that Marina will be going after that requires you to get a normal shot and then multiple shots of it’s various behaviors, like when they’re singing or in their camouflage state. You will generally just run across them as you’re exploring normally, but there are some that you can miss if you happen to overlook them (I personally missed one of the birds in The Singing Jungle), but some are seriously just at the end of the area. It doesn’t matter how good the photo is either, but as long as you like it, the game likes it. You don’t have to, but you can’t return to the area again unless you start a new game (which you’ll need to rewatch cutscenes). Each area has their own unique creatures that inhabit it and Marina wants to photograph and categorize them all. I do wish there were more interactivity here, but it’ll be difficult to reach the level the beast that is Pokemon Snap is at for indie developers.Īnyway, each area has a few objectives you have to do, with only one being needed for you to continue. And one, which was shown in a presentation, which will need light and water which you can get by whistling by the playful Otterdile. Like using your camera flash to open a flower that blooms when light hits it so it can then grow a huge beanstalk or whistling to get the area’s signature creature to come out. ![]() These puzzles will include using your camera, using your whistle, or even having a creature help you out. Some creatures you’ll come across will react, like by singing a tune as well and opening up their wings, but it’s mostly here for some puzzles. The only interaction you have, other than the camera, is Marina’s whistle. Though, you won’t be able to get creatures that are high up without barely having Marina in the frame and I do wish you could move her without getting out of selfie/camera mode if you found yourself a bit too far away from the creatures you wanted in frame. You can even do selfies, with Marina having a handful of expressions for her to have. The only thing here is that I do wish you could get closer photos of the creatures here, as some are really cute and there are some instances where they’re even in cuter positions. Heck, this even uses the Switch’s gyroscope feature while you’re in camera mode, which I totally didn’t expect. In camera mode, anything you haven’t taken a picture of will be unknown until you do and you can zoom in or out how much you want (no instant max zoom here) as well as the height of where Marina is holding the camera. You’ll be able to walk around in each of the three different, distinct areas and bring out your camera anytime you see anything you want to snap a picture of or you suspect is something new. Once Marina arrives, you soon get the goal of photographing anything and everything. ![]() Along the way, she will also flip through her grandfather’s journal to see what he wrote about the creatures and his drawings. Everything that her grandfather told her was true and after realizing that the island might even disappear forever as no one else knows about it, she decides to take pictures of the creatures here as they are pretty unbelievable that they even exist. Marina must be either lucky or the island senses her intentions as she finds it. But, per his wishes, she sets out to try and find the island. When Marina was a child he used to tell her about the kind of creatures that inhabited it, but as she grew up, she never thought that what he was talking about was true. The journal details about a strange and magical island, dubbed as Maravilla Island by him, which seemingly only him managed to find. Here, you play as Marina Montez who recently received a journal from her late grandfather. And the new game on the block is Beasts of Maravilla Island. This year is a good year for those that have been craving photography games for years or just recently after playing New Pokemon Snap is seems. ![]()
