By far the biggest draw to Webbed is how precious the various critters in it are. Adorable lil' things, bursting into wiggly little dances if you ever dance near them. The music is chirpy and happy, and the vibe is largely just extremely chill, airy and charming.

Playing the game can be more of a mixed bag. I love flying through the sky one web at a time, or sliding along strands I left behind previously, but the various physics puzzles you're asked to engage with and objects you're asked to move feel at best finnicky and awkward (and can even have the feeling of the kind of bugginess that the game wasn't going for).

This is all culminates in a finale that was a miss on multiple different levels for me, and that really didn't play to the game's strengths. I also don't appreciate the game's habit of using collectables scattered everywhere as its method of encouraging you to explore the otherwise occasionally-empty-feeling world.

So Webbed is charming, light, frothy fun, and can even act as a nice palate-cleanser in its own way if you've played too many dark or more serious games of late, but is far from flawless and not really something I could imagine ever wanting to return to.
