An amazing platform puzzler.

The Pedestrian is just incredible. It’s a typical platformer, where you have to go around and collect objects to solve puzzles, but everything is extremely well polished. The level design is exceptional, and the gameplay gives the players a ton of freedom such as to rearrange the boards and connect the level up as they wish, but also hinting at the solution subtly. The game is beautiful with each puzzle being part of a three-dimensional world.

There are so many unique moments here, where the game expands beyond what a normal two-dimensional puzzle game would be able to do that I can’t recommend this game enough. And then there's the ending, the final section of the game was worth playing the entire game for. While the game only lasts about four hours, I still can’t believe how well designed this game is. This is one of those games that sets a new standard for what we should expect in a genre. It’s up there with the Portal and The Witness in my book.

Pick this up if you like puzzle games. It is only 2D with several clever tricks, but at the same time, it shows how well-designed a puzzle game can be. Check this one out if you like what you’re seeing here, there’s a lot more in this game that I’m not showing.
