THOROUGHLY enjoying Gimmick 2 on my Switch. Just challenging enough. I will never not love fun little retro platformers. (Guess it goes back to Jazz.)

In the end, many of these wonderful characters helped shape the game and world of Gimmick! 2, even if they can't be seen. We like to think that they still live there, going about their lives in the shadows. And who knows... one day, they might return for real 🤫
