Ball x Pit reviewed by Seth Macy on Nintendo Switch 2, also available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Even with a clunky city building phase you can’t afford to ignore, the actual action of its Breakout-inspired runs is enormously fun. I get stuck in a “just one more run” mindset every time I sit down to play what I swear is going to be a quick round or two. Its strategies run surprisingly deep for a simple brick-breaker, rewarding smart planning and forethought more so than RNG and luck alone. It’s a rare game that I’m still excited to play well after I beat the main story, and, in a lot of ways, I wish I were playing it right now. If you want your life to be completely upended by a seemingly simple brick-breaking roguelite, I cannot recommend it enough.
