With an impressive average rating of 94, Jack Jeanne stands on par with Metroid Prime Remastered and falls just behind The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the current best game of the year with a rating of 96.
Jack Jeanne: A Thrilling Opera Simulation
Developed by Sui Ishida, the acclaimed producer of Tokyo Ghoul, Jack Jeanne is an opera simulation game exclusively available on Nintendo Switch. Players are immersed in the world of Kisa, a young woman on the verge of giving up her dream of becoming an actress. However, her life takes an unexpected turn when she is granted the opportunity to enroll in the prestigious Univeil School of Dramatic Art.
Admission to the school comes with two conditions: Kisa must be chosen as the lead performer in the final production and must keep her true identity as a girl hidden.
As Kisa enters a fiercely competitive and cutthroat school environment, players must navigate her journey, building connections with classmates while vying for pivotal roles and safeguarding her secret throughout the course.
Nintendo Switch’s Successor on the Horizon
Nintendo Switch, now in its seventh year, has amassed a large and dedicated player base. With the passage of time, speculations about its successor have started to surface.
Recently, Microsoft itself hinted at the arrival of a new console, and rumors gained momentum when Nintendo’s developer portal appeared to showcase the logo of the project.
As Jack Jeanne achieves critical acclaim and secures its position as one of the top-rated games of 2023, fans are eagerly anticipating its impact in the gaming landscape.
Priced at €49.99, the game is available for purchase on the Nintendo eShop, offering players the opportunity to embark on a unique and immersive theatrical journey.
