Orbitals, a co-op space opera headed to Switch 2, already stood out for its lush, anime-inspired visuals and playful puzzle design. But a built-in GameShare option that lets two people play together across separate systems with only one copy has elevated it from intriguing to indispensable for local co-op fans.

  • Striking presentation: The game blends cinematic, hand-crafted art with neon-tinged sci-fi aesthetics, creating a distinctive visual identity that echoes classic anime influences.
  • Co-op puzzle focus: Gameplay emphasises collaborative problem-solving and light-hearted interactions, designed to reward teamwork rather than competitive reflexes.
  • GameShare convenience: Players can link two Switch 2 consoles and play together without each needing to buy the game, making split-screen-style co-op more accessible and wallet-friendly.
  • Great value proposition: The single-purchase multiplayer model lowers the barrier for couples, friends, and families to experience the title together from day one.

Between its artful presentation, cooperative design, and the practical appeal of GameShare, Orbitals has shifted from a promising indie to an essential pick for anyone who loves shared couch (or portable) experiences. Expect this one to be an easy recommendation for players who prioritise both visual charm and social play.
