Pure NintendoKaelyn DaughertyJun 20198/10Selma and the Wisp is a beautiful, nightmarish puzzle\platformer. While it's a little on the short side it's still a great game worth experiencing.

GamePittJan 20207.5/10Toucan Studio’s Selma and the Wisp is a beautiful game to look at and is very ambitious in its design. With the total playtime for myself being around the 2h mark, the puzzles being moderately difficult at times, and the redefined take on platforming, I’d say you get a rather enjoyable game for the price, albeit with some rough edges which need a bit of polishing. If you want a cheap game with a new take on platforming and something you can finish in an afternoon, Selma and the Wisp could be for you.

Video ChumsA.J. MaciejewskiFeb 20202/5 starsIt may have been a cool game if it released in the early-'10s but Selma and the Wisp just feels dated and tiresome nowadays.
