Reverie: Sweet As Edition Collector's Edition

A childhood summer holiday that goes completely sideways in the best possible way. The Reverie: Sweet As Edition Collector's Edition for Nintendo Switch is an action adventure game set on a fictional New Zealand island, and it plays like a love letter to the top-down Zelda games we grew up with.

Reverie follows Tai, a kid on vacation who discovers that restless spirits are threatening Toromi Island. What should be a relaxing trip turns into a dungeon-crawling quest across six varied environments, each with puzzles to solve and bosses to topple using an arsenal of unique weapons and items. The story draws from Maori legend, specifically the tale of Maui fishing up the North Island, giving the adventure a cultural richness you won't find in most games of this style.

The Sweet As Edition adds Nightmare difficulty, a new minigame, a quick-select item wheel, and additional NPC dialogue, making this the definitive version of an already charming game. Hidden feathers from New Zealand's native birds are scattered across the island for completionists who can't resist a thorough search.

This is a game with genuine heart, and the collector's edition gives it the physical treatment it deserves on Switch. It's compact, polished, and packed with the kind of warmth that makes you want to revisit it. For collectors who value games that feel handcrafted rather than factory-produced, Reverie belongs in your library without question.
