I initially went into this game really soured on it - for its asking price, it doesn't feel like "enough". However, after a chapter or two in, its charm completely wooed me.
Its puzzle difficulty is feels just right, and it has a bit more length to it than I was expecting as well. Its visuals are stellar and its soundtrack is amazing, immediately something I want to listen to over and over.
Really, the only issue I can fault it for is not picking a stricter lane with its narrative and direction. I don't think it needs to have a defined narrative like Unpacked (in fact, I think it's better for it), but with the later levels leaning a bit more surreal, I really wish I saw that earlier in the game. It would have elevated the existing whimsy of the title that much further.
Absolutely give this a playthrough on a weekend if you grab it in a sale or play it through Xbox Game Pass. It's a bit tougher to sell at full price, but if you enjoy light relaxing organization puzzles, it's absolutely worth it.
