## Key points

- A polished but highly derivative Star Fox 64-style shooter.
- Seven stages take about two hours to complete.
- Bright visuals and smooth Switch 2 performance stand out.

## Summary

Wild Blue Skies is a short, colourful on-rails space shooter that closely follows the story and gameplay of Star Fox 64. The review finds that its resemblance leaves little room for its characters or ideas to stand out, making its appeal harder to see in a year when a Star Fox remake is also available.

Players guide Bowie and three fellow pilots through seven stages, with branching routes, occasional all-range dogfights and boss battles. A run takes about two hours; the game adds four score commendations per stage to encourage replay, while its vibrant cel-shaded visuals and smooth performance on Switch 2 are among its strengths.
