Early on, I'll admit, it was more of a puzzler than i expected it to be, and I had certain regrets about purchasing the game. And yet, i persisted and was rewarded for my patience with a simple but satisfying story, as well as a significant variety in the puzzles. Some of the puzzles were a serious test, with me even giving up on a couple (had to cheat). However, they never felt unfair, and despite the growing number of surprisingly complex elements to consider, the game eases you into these new challenges. What holds the game together, is the beautiful art style, impressively detailed world, and characters that don't need spoken dialogue to bring life to the story being told.

On the negative side, it is very short, repetitive, and has no depth in the story or characters. I mention this because it was a missed opportunity but I understand how difficult it is to develop a game. Definitely don't miss out on this one. I love all of Amanita Designs’ work.After you pass the first 4 or 5 scenes you basically get the idea and it can turn boring if you are used to a lot more action. The controls are very simple. I wouldn't say it is easy, but it is not that hard for the average puzzle gamer, which is the main demo in the first place. It managed to keep me playing for 6 hours straight until I unlocked everything. It is very short. I wanted to see more in this universe. There are some secrets that add nothing to the plot or the game and only slow you down. If you were just to play the actual game (without the movies), you would finish it in under 3 hours. Honestly, it has no replay value in my book. Unlike other Amanita Designs’ work like Machinarium. I remember I used to play that game over 6 times.If I had to give them score for some relevant features it would look like this:5/5 Art Style5/5 Soundtrack3/5 Story0/5 Unlockables0/5 Replayability

Excellent puzzle platformer, which combines efective game design, balanced difficulty and creative approach to puzzles. Above all stands an unmistakable graphic design by Amanita Studios, like a golden crown of a bit scary world.

This is the first major game released by Amanita Design that is not a point & click adventure style of game. Despite that the game looks like a comic book the graphics are so smooth and you can feel the high frame rates in the game. The story is eerie but remains whimsical, a bedtime read for the kind of child who spies monsters in wallpaper patterns. It's told without words and is unhindered by any desire to explain the moving parts. Some objects are animate enough in shadow to be dangerous. Stubby chests of drawers transform into guard dogs, charging anybody who comes near their baskets, voices booming like the slam of filing cabinets. Ornamental globes become flying jellyfish, coasting left to right. Gushing drainpipes become snuffling elephant trunks. Chairs shapeshift into skittish goat-like creatures. Coatstands, rather terrifyingly, turn into thorny Halloween spectres who mirror your movements providing there's space to do so. All of these creatures will kill you instantly if you knock into them, but you'll need to "collaborate" along side them to solve the puzzles. Overall solid game indeed and highly recommend for your Xbox One library.
