creative, puzzles are challenging but fair
Not recommended Oct 2, 2026
Frankly I don't know how this game was published. No story, no plot, no instructions, no rules, puzzles that do nothing, puzzles that change rules as you go etc. This is an exercise in yeeting the computer across the room. I'm truly surprised that 18% of people that have this game persevered to get the 'I finished it' trophy. I'm so avoiding the new game from this Dev because of this one.

this game edges you by not giving you any rewards for completing a puzzle. don't play if you're looking for dopamine. i like being edged
Recommended Sep 29, 2026
Игра не для тупых, в ней крайне сложные пазлы, сначала вроде ты делаешь всё нормально, но потом появляется пазл который ты просто не можешь решить так как ты не понимаешь как он устроен, и так со всеми головоломками. Просто накладывается сверх сложность на рандомный пазл хотя секунду назад ты проходил обучение к нему (фигуры самое ужасное что я пытался пройти, а это я еще толко в начале). Но визуал игры топ, с этим не поспорить. Жаль что всю разработку потратили только на него.

Games like Outer Wilds, where knowing is the only upgrade

Games like Outer Wilds for anyone who misses a lock that sits in your head: a Roman time loop, a shifting manor, five untranslated languages and an island that explains nothing.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
