Hob

The art direction is [b]Hob's[/b] best quality, with a colorful, painterly world that I enjoyed just wandering around in. The level design is just as good. Solving puzzles actually changes the landscape around you. Coming back to earlier areas and finding new paths was always satisfying. The whole game feels a little like the old Zelda games. But the game has some flaws. The camera angles are frustrating, especially in tight spaces, and you can't move the camera yourself. Since the camera is fixed and the angles are awkward, it's easy to misjudge distances and miss jumps. The combat also feels unfinished. Still, I liked the wordless storytelling. It's a fresh approach, and I left with a positive note.

The game is beautiful and interesting, but for me, it has a major flaw: it doesn't allow the player to move or rotate the camera. I really dislike this design choice, though sometimes games can get away with it. Occasionally, the fixed view offers enough control over the action that you eventually forget about the limitation. But that’s not the case here. The inability to rotate the camera remains frustrating even after hours of play. The character constantly misses jumps, falls, and plummets to their death. The world is beautiful, and you often want to look up to take it in, but you can't—the camera is locked in place. The character can get stuck behind objects, and because you can't see them, often there is no way to break free. Only kill them to respawn. Not to mention that navigating the space becomes much more difficult and unpleasant; the camera suddenly starts spinning on its own (causing dizziness) just because the character took a few steps. I honestly tried to play the game, but I got tired of fighting against the controls. It seems to me that if developers can implement proper camera movement, they should; if they can't, they should just stick to an isometric view and s…

do not pet the giraffe

Just very ok

Great game that you do not see coming. thought it looked cool while on sale and randomly picked it up and now its one of my favorite games ever. Just remember it is more of a mood game over the action side.

Steam deck review: Pass, unfortunately :( Even on the lowest possible settings, and lowest possible fps, this game has horrible fps drops anytime you move your character and the game has to render a new space. I'm not talking a couple frames, im talking massive dips, 25 fps or more.
