LadiesGamers.com: by Lynne Newey

I’ve had a tough time reviewing Lou’s Lagoon. On the one hand, I absolutely adore the game. The bright colours and varied landscapes of the different islands are a pleasure to explore, flying around the archipelago is great fun, and I like having plenty of quests to keep me busy. However, would I recommend the game? Well, no, not in its current state. There are too many issues and frustrations to justify a recommendation. While I appreciate that porting to Switch can sometimes reveal issues unseen before, it currently feels more like an early access version. Hopefully, one day I can return to Lou’s Lagoon and bask in the sunshine, but at the moment, it’s a bitterly disappointing and ultimately very frustrating experience.

Duuro Magazine: 7.5 / 10 by Krist Duro

Lou's Lagoon knows what makes a cozy crafting game compelling. Gathering with the Swirler feels good, upgrades have a purpose, the islands are fun to explore, and building gives every load of materials somewhere useful to go. The missing-uncle mystery may not linger in my mind, but the pleasure of completing another project does. The tiny inventory is a persistent annoyance, yet it did not spoil a bright, relaxing adventure that I had a genuinely good time playing.
