Desvelado

Charming and silly little game with one fairly big problem. At the end of each level, you get a new part of the map, and are taken to a menu to select which level you want to play next. Fine, except there's no way to enter this menu from the pause menu, you can only enter it via these map parts, so if you back out of the menu as I did a few levels in, you can basically softlock yourself. Even replaying the level from the start does nothing, the map part won't be there at the end and you'll be stuck with no way out. I do honestly quite like the game, and in a few months I'll probably replay it from the start with this in mind, but it seems like such a glaring oversight I felt a need to write a negative review about it.

Really enjoyed Desvelado. The art style is fantastic, and the hand-crafted animations in the cutscenes give the game a lot of personality. The platforming feels really precise and responsive, which makes navigating the levels very satisfying. I also really liked how new mechanics are introduced as you progress, keeping the gameplay fresh and constantly giving you something new to learn and master. Definitely recommend it!

While it was tricky at times, the music, art style and overall cozy aura of it made me feel lovely. 10/10 would reccomend to mortals-uh I mean other humans!

This is practically the definition of short and sweet. Smooth movement and graphics, great music, runs perfectly on the Steam Deck. The best part is easily that death is quick and brings you back to the start of a screen in a blink. The autoscroller sections were the low points though, especially the vertical tower climb at the end. One mistake was painful and death, well, brought me back to the start of the screen. But that is one blemish on a wonderful gem of a game. I do plan to get more of the game's achievements, once I have the courage to!

If you enjoy puzzles and cute cats, this is for you. I played for 5 hours, and honestly, it was worth it. Getting little Draco kitty to bed was fun and worth the time.
