Syrup and the Ultimate Sweet

For those with little time on their hands, or who are new to genre, Syrup and the Ultimate Sweet is an ideal visual novel on the Nintendo Switch. Short in length, and cute in style, with memorable characters, it makes it easy to replay to discover new aspects to each character and see all the endings without getting fed up of seeing the same text over and over. The truth of the candy golem's creation is a fine plot twist that puts a different view to the start of the tale when replaying it. The genuine life lessons it teaches, and the resulting personality changes are delightful to read, and provide food for thought alongside all the sweet treats included.

Syrup and the Ultimate Sweet is a name that doesn't hint much at what kind of game this is but it reveals that its content is very sugarcoated. Indeed this visual novel features a very sweetened world, with ten different endings and a good plot for a game with such a low selling price. It may not be the most breathtaking work ever made but Syrup and the Ultimate Sweet does a decent job, even if its main protagonist seems a bit off from the game's world.

Syrup and the Ultimate Sweet is a short, light visual novel. It’s a passable choice if you’re looking for something in the genre, but its fairly flimsy narrative won’t win it pride of place in your collection.
