Airhead

I'm on a verge with this one. There's so many things done bad in this game but a the same time there are great things too. I'll go with the positive because I would love to see another game from those people to see if they can improve and deliver a true masterpiece. To sum up my experience - I softlocked in the middle of the game because the solution to one puzzle was a blocker for another. I had so much fun with the puzzles it didn't deter me from starting a new game and finishing it but with a heart on my shoulder whenever I did something that didn't feel "by design". A few things that will be useful (no spoilers): - Game has backup saves (accessed from Load section) but considering how the save system works, do manual backups from time to time. - You can continue playing after the ending so don't worry If you want to find everything. - Works nicely on Steam Deck (although eats battery a bit faster than I would expect) - I would finish game in 7-8h if not for a softlock

Not for me because I don't enjoy the constant running out of air mechanic (timer). Seems well put together though.

The game has a lot of great ideas and an interesting art style. Movement is pleasantly fast which is not common for this type of game. But unfortunately there is an annoying amount of jank. A lot of times I was stuck to an obstacle and couldn't move. Platform detection doesn't work properly. Cutscenes didn't play correctly, only when restarted from a checkpoint. And several other problem occured as well. If it wasn't for these bugs, this could be a really great game and an easy recommendation. EDIT: got softlocked near the end. Thanks for the wasted time!

puzzles and the game mechanic in this game make it not that pleasant to spend your time specially toward the end. micro milimeter of jump in some cases make you believe the place you are sure you should get to is not reachable, you spend hours going into loops and by accident next time you are at the old place you get to jump and get up the place you surely was not able to a few minutes ago. hidden objects or too small or badly colored robes hidden in the environment, repetition without anything interesting on your way to solve the puzzles.... I can go on. I have had games with long grinds that somehow managed to capture over 100 hours of my time but in Airhead I was getting tiered of even seeing new places and realizing that I have to spend another 10 minutes of doing nothing meaningful.

I've enjoyed this game. Not at the beginning but it grew on me.

Think INSIDE but with platforming puzzles. It could've benefit from more involving background and player connection to the hero. Should be rated higher and if you liked INSIDE you'll enjoy this one.
