Summary

Hob is set on a beautiful and dangerous unknown world, with buzzing life above and the whirrs of mysterious machinery below.

I got the game on epic games for free. After playing the game I wanted to play some similar game like this but I couldn't find any. I really hope this developer makes a sequel or more games like HOB,

Si on pouvait se torcher avec, ça servirait au moins à quelque chose mais ce n'est pas le cas.

Hob is a beautiful Zelda-inspired game full of awe and wonder within it. The world it shows you has an identity and is beautifully unique. TheHob is a beautiful Zelda-inspired game full of awe and wonder within it. The world it shows you has an identity and is beautifully unique. The game's greatest sin is that there's a lot of minor issues that compound to it, such as puzzles that aren't really puzzles and a few bugs here and there, but they compound into damaging the overall experience, but it is overall a very pleasant one that calls for the explorer in you and amazes you with a world that is half-nature and half-machine and how that world fits together beautifully.

Death is forgiving in Hob in that progress isn’t lost in the way of items collected or enemies defeated. However, respawning in Hob takes a long time and the checkpoints can sometimes be inconveniently far away from where you died. Backtracking is usually easy enough since most enemies don’t respawn and sometimes there are shortcuts that can be opened to quickly reach where you had been before. But running through the parts I had already done felt like a chore, especially if my death was less my fault and more to do with Hob’s wonky platforming mechanics.
