If you stick with this game long enough to get past the weak opening act (which, judging by the trophy percentages, turned off a LOT of people), there is a neat little water physics and AI plotting puzzle-strategy in here. Vessel really shines once you've unlocked multiple types of colorful goo and can start guiding different blobs with different behaviors to specific switches and machines like melted Lemmings.
Unfortunately, since this is a physics-based puzzle platformer in the PS3 era, this means that sometimes you'll be stuck on a puzzle for over an hour because the water refuses to behave in the same way twice and sometimes you'll die because some particles of lava decided to wiggle in a corner and then launch at your sunburnt Murdoc Niccals scientist at 500 mph.
