How this score was computed

The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.

    Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All! is best suited for younger players and casual audience. Everyone else will probably find the game extremely boring.

    While the genre struggled in the early days on the Switch, the beat-em-up has proven to be alive and well on the Switch, including some titles I'd consider genre-defining that have arrived over the last 2 years...

    Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All ends up being a game full of wonderfully hand-drawn visuals and extremely repetitive combat. It makes it hard to really recommend this game to anyone other than those that are fans of the duo. While yes, some young kids may enjoy the overly simplistic nature of the game; anyone who is an older gamer will become quickly bored with the easy combat, and lack of new moves or attacks.

    For fans of the adventures of Asterix and Obelix, Slap them All! is simply a must-have. The Mr. Nutz Studio team faithfully reflected the atmosphere and humor of the comics, it is a pity that the publisher did not try the Polish language version!

    ‎Asterix & Obelix Slap Them All! He stays at half gas and does not get what he is looking for, although the formula should not be very complex. However, it is a title that the smallest of the house can easily enjoy due to its careful design and that is not excessively difficult.‎

    Asterix & Obelix: Slap them All! becomes very repetitive very early and it kills any potential in the game.

    Asterix & Obelix: Slap them All! is a cute beat'em'up that sadly doesn't really stand out in any way other than the graphics.

    Asterix and Obelix Slap'em All is a charming beat'em all which still lacks of depth too keep the enjoyment on the long run. Despite its gorgeous look and animation, the repetitiveness of the 50 levels and simple gameplay aim for a young audience more than the average street fighter.

    A not-so-exciting scrolling beat-em-up, due to repetitive levels and poorly honed game mechanics. The beautiful graphic setting and local multiplayer raise it from total lack of interest.

    This is not going to make you stop playing Streets of Rage 4 or cancel your preorder for the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game, but damn, am I glad this exists. Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All is really easy and can be really repetitive at times, but it’s lovely to look at and listen to. The fact it’s so easy makes each combat section even funnier, all thanks to some of the best animations I’ve seen in a game in a while.
