Tokyo Scramble on Switch 2: Ambitious But Rough, Critics Say

TL;DR Summary
Tokyo Scramble, a Switch 2 exclusive stealth-horror title released Feb 11, 2026, has drawn lukewarm to mixed reactions. Despite an ambitious concept and multiplayer options via GameChat/GameShare, critics point to clunky mechanics, rough execution, and technical/writing hiccups. With only three Metacritic critic reviews (all around 5/10) and an OpenCritic average of about 37, online buzz is muted. Some outlets praise the ambition, but the consensus is that it’s a miss for most—though fans of campy, experimental gameplay might find something to like.
