Hue is a simple game where you shift between colors to solve puzzles. There are letters scattered throughout the game that unravel the reason why you are tasked with collecting colors in a colorless world, which felt unnecessary as it added nothing but long, mindless, winding, levels as the narrator spoke. As you progress through levels and areas you add more colors to your palette and the difficulty increases.
Achievements are mostly unmissable if you play Hue in its entirety, save for “secret beakers” that are hidden among the various areas and levels. If you are an achievement hunter, you may have more fun with this than I did. My problem with finding all the secret beakers was that there was no way to repeat a specific level within an area. If you missed a beaker near the end of an area, you would need to repeat every level up to the one that you needed to get to, which was the case with many of the beakers hidden in earlier levels that required you to use a color that you did not possess yet. If that tedium doesn’t deter you, hopefully you feel rewarded by simply earning the achievement for collecting all of the beakers since they serve no real purpose to the story.
Ultimately, Hue is fun to puzzle over for an afternoon or two, but it overstays its welcome a bit with tedious and unnecessary elements that don’t really complement the game.
