Here are the key points from the review: The game has nice graphics and a small download size of 166.6MB. It’s available on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The game features 35 levels of puzzle platformer gameplay. The main gimmick is shooting crates and swapping places with them. The controls are tight and responsive, and the game has easy trophies. The game has a good level design, nice animations, and a good soundtrack. It also has simple controls, but they cannot be rebound. The game allows you to replay levels, but it doesn’t have any timers or scoring so you can take your time. However, it lacks replay value. It takes nearly a dozen levels before you even get the swap shot. Also, there are some issues with the controls and gameplay that need to be addressed.

Overall, Swapshot is a fun and challenging game with a unique mechanic that sets it apart from other puzzle platformers but it is very middle of the road.
