Hello! Some reviews are coming in now.
PocketGamer (who do Steam reviews now as well) have given The Swindle a Gold Award and 9/10, so hopefully that suggests it's worth a look. The review's ostensibly for the Vita version I think, but the only difference between that and the Steam version is the PC has shorter load times and a few more graphical effects.
Eurogamer's review is magnificent. Chris Donlan really got into the game and analysed it much more than I anticipated anyone would. It's well worth a read, he highlights some of the more subtle themes running through the game's Universe. He also thinks it's brilliant and it gets a big RECOMMENDED sticker.
PCGamer also think it's brillo! "Not since Spelunky have I found a game so compelling that I’ve continued to play after so many deaths, and honestly, I think The Swindle has set a new record for me there."
All these links are below, please do take a look if you're unsure if The Swindle's for you.
If you want to see the game in action, Matt Lees is doing a lovely playthrough here which I think gets to the meat of the game nicely.
