Oh man, you know that game, The Operator? Yeah, it’s all about diving into the world of mystery-solving with the FDI. So, here’s the thing. You’re this dude, Evan Tanner, the newbie at this super-secret agency. Kinda feels like those crime shows on TV, like CSI. Those gadgets in the game? Almost sci-fi in their coolness. They want you to play detective, using skills and some high-tech FDI mumbo jumbo to crack puzzles and uncover hidden truths. It’s like you’re a tech wizard or something.
The game’s made its way from Steam to the Nintendo Switch now. Let me tell you, playing from some secure, monitored terminal makes you feel like you’re in a spy flick or something. Real cloak-and-dagger stuff, if you get me. Field agents call in, secretaries check out their creds, and the call lands right on your lap. You solve it, the line shuts, and you’re back to square one. It’s a rush — or maybe just a lot of typing?
Now, the controls — ah, the controls. You’ve got the Joy-Con to fiddle with or go all touchscreen if that’s your jam. Like, you can poke around at the screen, sifting through data, watching clips, answering calls. Choices made here nudge the story this way or that. Joy-Con? You’re dancing between sticks, pads, buttons like you’re at some tech ballet. Seriously, pressing ZR pulls up a universe of apps. Need help? Hit the minus button. Lost? Press something — anything, really.
This one bit stuck with me — input commands and rummage through the digital trash. (Why did I notice that? Who knows?) It’s all about finding contradictions or details, like you’re sifting through some spy novel. And there’s a Car Database too — checking plates, piecing the puzzle. Oh, don’t forget the settings menu, where you tweak stuff like audio and subtitles — lots of tinkering potential for the tinkerers out there.
But hey, don’t get too excited. Tiny text on the Switch could drive you bonkers. It’s not deal-breaking, but it sure tests your patience. So, it’s released on Switch and running $13.99. If I could, I’d make the font bigger just by wishing it so — alas, that’s not how it works. Life, am I right?
Anyway, this disclaimer thing? Just here to say I got my hands on the Switch version thanks to Bureau 81. No big conspiracy there. Just games and reviews, folks.
