Sights & Sounds
- If you like the visual aesthetic you see in the trailers and promo art, rest assured that the game looks that way throughout its length
- The music is similarly sparse and repetitive, which makes sense for a puzzle game that'll take different players different amounts of time to complete
- The minimalism and general lack of details meshes nicely with the game's overall mysterious tone
Story & Vibes
- I won't spoil any plot points (even though there's not much to spoil), but you're a princess who's trying to restore different structures by completing collections of puzzles
- As mentioned above, the game is mysterious and brooding, but it winds up being bright and hopeful by the end
Playability & Replayability
- Gameplay mostly consists of perspective-based logic puzzles with occasional block-pushing elements, so spatial thinkers will find that the solutions come naturally
- Some of these are pretty creative and require careful planning
- Although the game introduces new mechanics and tools from time-to-time, the core puzzle format stays fairly consistent throughout. A little more variety would have been interesting
- You'll get all the achievements naturally by completing all the levels, so there's not a ton of motivation for a replay
Overall Impressions & Performance
- I know that it's just a widescreen version of a popular mobile game, but it's still a solid puzzle game you can beat in a few hours using nothing but your brain and mouse
- This game would run well on basically anything that can run Steam
- It comes with all the DLC, which adds some padding to the back end of the playtime. Is a game that ultimately amounts to a pretty enjoyable 2-4 hours worth $8? Ultimately, that's up to you
Final Verdict
- 7/10. A great game to look at with some interesting puzzle design sprinkled throughout. Could have used a little more challenge or variety to take it to another level, though
