Youropa is a third-person 3D platform puzzle game, in which pieces of a stylized Paris have been ripped from the ground and suspended in mid-air as a series of platforms.
Each platform has one of more puzzles that need to be solved to open the door to transport you to the next platform, and gravity is non-committal about the whole thing.
At times you can walk along a platform that wraps around itself and find yourself walking on what was previously the underside of the platform. At other times you can take a step towards the edge of the platform and find yourself suddenly on the next surface and rotated through 90 degrees, or alternatively, plunging towards Paris below, because gravity, much like the controls for this game, can be finicky.
Unfortunately, while the graphics and lighting are quite pretty, giving the game a certain charm, and the conceit of the game is something out of the ordinary, the wildly inconsistent controls make it equal parts fun and frustrating, and not in a "enjoyable challenge" way, but more in a "Why am I doing this to myself?" way.
Ultimately, I don't think the uniqueness is enough to make me want to come back to Youropa, making it a bit:

Check out #IGR's review of Youropa for Switch!
"Playing with gravity and forced perspectives is a gameplay mechanic I never get tired of. Whether in space-age platformers like #SuperMarioGalaxy or indie darlings like #Superliminal it just always feels inventive and fresh.
As such, I was really excited to take #Youropa for a spin upon its new #NintendoSwitch release. The question is, does it defy gravity or come crashing down to Earth?"
