Backworlds

How is this free? WTF!

amasing and nice relaxing

Definitely needs puzzle solutions or at least hints, mostly because I don't like wasting my time banging my head on a wall, wandering and brute forcing till I finally stumble into the answers. No hint system, no walkthrough guide that I could find online. Still, not all puzzle rooms are required to confront the stage boss and there's no death; no lives or health system. Teleport and map icons are convenient. Certainly worth trying till you get sick of it, and heck, it's free. .....(but damn I hate wasting my time)

Игра 'Backworlds' – это увлекательное приключение в жанре point-and-click с уникальной механикой порталов. Визуальный стиль впечатляет своей мрачной красотой и сюрреалистическими пейзажами, каждый экран словно картина, полная загадок и деталей. Геймплей основан на решении головоломок, требующих внимательности и умения мыслить нестандартно. Фишка с переключением между параллельными мирами добавляет сложности, заставляя искать скрытые подсказки и использовать окружение по-разному. Сюжет поначалу кажется туманным, но постепенно разворачивается, погружая в атмосферу тайны и мистики. Хотя игра может показаться сложной, удовлетворение от решения каждой головоломки огромно. 'Backworlds' – это не просто игра, а настоящее путешествие в мир сюрреалистических грез, которое оставит после себя незабываемые впечатления. Любителям жанра и ценителям атмосферных приключений - настоятельно рекомендую!

This game is OK if you like puzzle platformers. The central gimmick simultaneously feels creative and like something I've seen dozens of times before. That's an odd sensation to have, but then Braid came out over 17 years ago. Some solutions are elegant, some make you feel clever, some feel like abusing physics exploits even though they're intended, some are really tedious to solve, and some once looked up just make you ask how you were ever supposed to figure out. A few situations exist that can softlock you, though there's thankfully a button in the menu to fix those. The metroidvania-esque layout doesn't really add anything and mostly just makes it annoying to backtrack to unfinished puzzles, especially the ones you can't even start until you beat all the bosses. I do appreciate that the devs were willing to try it out though. The ending is just kind of whatever. My idle musings of what kind of lore could go with the levels ended up being more interesting than the reality. This game pretty clearly didn't get the reception the devs hoped for. That's kind of a shame, but also understandable. I wish them success with whatever they're doing now.
