Let’s Sing 2025 – Switch Review

Released back in November, Let's Sing 2025 has brought karaoke to wherever you are. Developed by Voxler, Published by Plaion and released on pretty much every console out. We were lucky enough to get sent a press box that contained some awesome goodies, thanks again Plaion! Of course the bit we were most interested in was the game itself, oh, and the microphones of course. Tone Deaf or Pitch Challenged? Do you have a favourite karaoke track? The smallest member of the TC Mini Crew begged us to do Sweet Caroline. Not sure what that is all about, but we went with it! Although heads up, if you're looking to play this with small children, the official age rating on this game is 12.
