Okay, so there’s this game called The Operator. Yeah, that’s a mouthful already, but stick with me here. It’s all about helping these FDI agents crack bizarre cases. Like from TV shows—think CSI, but with tech that’s just too good to be true (but we go with it anyway). You’re Evan Tanner. Fancy new guy at the agency. They expect you to be some detective whiz using fancy software. No pressure, right? Oh, and it was on Steam before—now it’s aiming for the Nintendo crowd.
Here’s a thing: you’re glued to this secure terminal—that means hush-hush top-secret stuff going on. Agents call in, like some hotline drama, and you’ve gotta vet them. Are they legit? Well, that’s on you before passing them to the boss who then bothers you to work magic from this fancy desk of yours. It’s a cycle. They give you info, you give them solutions. Simple? Maybe.
Switch gameplay is either using Joy-Con or touchscreen (feels quite like playing detective on a tablet). Tap here, swipe there—piecing together data, images, calls, yada yada. If you’re sticking with Joy-Con, it’s a thumb-and-button dance to pick options. Oh, and don’t forget to flip through windows with L and R—it’s the speed of a coffee-fueled agent. Get lost? There’s a help button. Convenient, eh?
Now, about digging into files. Open calculators, sort through digital trash—play around with all sorts of databases (Human DB anyone?). You’re like this digital Snoopy checking for contradictions. Keep your X button handy for cursor magic. Oh, and audio stuff? You can tweak that too if it gets obnoxious.
Tiny text alert—isn’t it always the thing with PC to console jumps? Remember trying to read from an ant-sized script? Play it portable and you might end up squinting. Not a deal-breaker, but maybe a patience tester. Costs $13.99 if you care for numbers.
So, how did this rambling turn out? Well, that’s The Operator for ya. Mixing detective work with a sprinkle of chaos on the Switch. Makes you feel like you’re right there in the techy crime-solving universe. Give it a whirl, agent.
