What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise this game as an excellently designed puzzle experience with deep, layered mechanics that build progressively without hand-holding, great quality-of-life features like a comprehensive journal and tiered hint system, and tight puzzle design that rarely leaves you overwhelmed with options. The main complaint centers on some mechanical interactions feeling somewhat arbitrary or disconnected, though this criticism comes from players who clearly love the game overall and are critiquing it at a high level rather than condemning it.
An absolute masterpiece as far as puzzle games go. This game put me in awe many times, and I quickly got addicted to the sense of discovery and exploration that it offers. Gentoo Rescue pushes the limit of the genre in a extremely playful and clever way. Congratulations4 found this helpful
Beautifully crafted puzzle game. Many of the puzzles are optional and each has an interesting, unique idea at its core -- this plus the very tastefully implemented hint system make this a great choice for casual puzzlers. But for the puzzle sickos like myself there is also lots to love: countless interactions to discover, super difficult secret levels to find, and great end-game meta puzzle elements.1 found this helpful
Very creative puzzles, a lot of depth, crazy endgame! Extremly underrated game. I really like the hint system, it keeps the game self contained (you don't need to google for help, the game itself helps you if you want), and they are not like "press left, right, Q, up", they instead make you think in the right direction "What must be the last move?" or "Where should the blue pengin be?" etc. I found all of the super hard puzzles to be entirelly optional, so the game can be pretty entry-level. But if you want to 100% you will need to solve some *reallly* hard puzzles, but these puzzles are usualy only accessble after beating "Replication" (the last "world"). Some spoiler details about the game: [spoiler] The idea of a journal of item and penguin interactions sounds crazy, but with the amount of stuff this game it's actually needed, specially for the endgame puzzles. Importing and exporting add insane amount of depth to the game, Extraction bent my mind in a really good way. [/spolier]1 found this helpful
Absolutely delicious puzzles!! Sort of reminds me of Puddle Knights due to the cheesy and simple aesthetic that undersells the top-tier puzzle quality. I'd always known that ice puzzles had potential i'd always known it

This game is good, like Baba is you levels of good, this really should be getting more attention.
