Cake Laboratory

Cake Laboratory's saving grace is that for a young child or undiscerning adult, it’s harmless and entertaining, with bright colours and simple game mechanics that increase in difficulty over time. However, for most players, there really isn’t enough to even slightly recommend a purchase here.

It also has a big one-up over similar games for other platforms: the lack of microtransactions. These are any parent's bane, as they are all flashy money grabs. But being on the Nintendo Switch means that you only need to pay a low price for the game, with nothing else to worry about – your wallet is safe. This is a fun and easy to understand casual-style release that you're going to have fun with. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but games don't need to do that with every release, right?

It's easy enough for kids to enjoy, with enough harder challenges that an adult won't be bored. And for the price, it's a pretty solid game. Plus, you get to live out your fantasy of making all the cakes, and that's like, a universal desire we all have right?.

There are really two aspects to the game, the stacking game itself and then customizing your own cakes...
