Other people have written what I would say on Void Stranger much better than I could. What I'd just like to highlight is how powerful the script is--this game has shockingly little dialogue, but it packs every word with the perfect amount of sentiment. Mixed with arguably the best pixel art Ive ever seen in the medium, it really keeps you going through the void, run after run, constantly chasing shadows to find the next clue to the bigger puzzle of the world these characters inhabit.

To speak any deeper would be to ruin the experience, which is ultimately the curse of this game, but its just a wonderful time if you like that sort of gameplay-story integration in games, its so much more than the sum of its parts.

I am not a sokoban gamer though.
