Pros
Pro Hilarious party game for friends looking to goof around
1-2 Switch is perfect for joking around with a group of friends at a party. The game is a collection of mini-games that you play primarily with the Joy-Con controllers through the Nintendo Switch's camera. The rules all consist of either shaking the controllers, grabbing them, or motioning with them in some way with your imagination, like gunslinging against someone like cowboys, eating sandwiches in quick succession, or milking a cow (seriously). The most you'll probably find yourself doing is goofing off with friends and laughing at how silly everyone looks while trying to pull off the motion controls.
Pro Good selection of different mini-games to choose from
There's a good amount of mini-games to play, with all of them having you role-play certain pretend situations and use your imagination. You and a friend can have magical duels with wands and spells, act as secretaries to see who can pick up your ringing phones the fastest, play baseball together, practice samurai training with katanas, rock a crying baby to sleep, and quite a lot more. Whenever you get tired of one mini-game, you can easily pick another one that's vastly different, helping to keep things fresh.
Pro Holds up incredibly well
Titan Quest is over 10 years old now, and it is still widely played. It even saw a remastered "Anniversary Edition" in August of 2016, drawing in more players, old and new.
Pro You can choose the speed you want to play at
Titan Quest is unique among ARPGs in that you get to choose the game speed. You can be a leisurely player and take things slowly, or you can go hard and play the game on very fast settings. The fact that you get to choose adds another level of enjoyment to the game.
Pro Replayability through different classes
There are a plethora of classes that open up upon leveling to the second level, once one is chosen the others will be gone for that game session. This means that a different playthrough will be needed to explore what all the different classes offer, making for quite a lot of playtime.
Pro Lots of loot to find
There is quite a lot of loot in the game to be found, which drives the player to continue playing, just to find that better weapon or piece of armor. The loot is also color coded when dropped, making it easy to discern what is worth picking up or leaving behind.
Pro Tons of customization
There are 30 different classes of characters to choose from within the game with 150 character skills that they can learn. This way users can customize their character to their liking and playstyle.
Cons
Con More of a gimmick than an actual game
This is a cool demo of what the Joy-Con controllers are able to do, but that's about it. 1-2 Switch relies on you making hand gestures with the controller in your hands with you miming out the actions for any given mini-game. But this is all that the game can do, boiling down to a gimmick of you and your friends gesturing wildly with the controllers as "gameplay".
Con Way overpriced
Considering how little content it offers, 1-2 Switch is just too expensive. Even during the launch of the Nintendo Switch when this game first released, it was at full retail price, and is unlikely to see a drastic price drop any time soon. The asking price is still ridiculous these days, since there really isn't enough depth to the gameplay to justify the cost. This should have been bundled with the console for free instead.
Con Hard to take it seriously
These types of motion controls have never really caught on because of how ridiculous they look, and 1-2 Switch is no exception. This is one of those games that you try once, laugh at, and probably will never try again unless you want to joke around with your friends. It's shallow and has almost no depth aside from the technology with the controllers.
Con Combat feels a little static
Con Save anywhere does not save character placement
This means that there will be some retreading of areas once a save is loaded as the character will not be in the same place as where they were left off. This will waste time and can be frustrating having to do this every time you load the game.
Con Disappointing loot at later levels
Even when the player has reached a high level, they will often find loot meant for low level characters. This can be frustrating when trying to find better gear and just adds a lot of clutter to ones inventory as the majority of items found won't be that useful.
