[Rapid Review] Penny’s Big Breakaway

System: Switch
Release date: February 21, 2024
Developer: Evening Star
Publisher: Private Division

Killer looks along with subtle, stylish nods to their prior work enamored a clamoring and captious demographic. Even as a relatively new team, developer Evening Star has prestige streaming from their ears, and an expectant fan base to go along with it. Now the game has finally dropped, and the resulting experience might not be all we had held our breath for.
