Currently I enjoy playing 2.5 D puzzle platformers a lot and this is another one. Though I can recommend Black The Fall in general, there are some quite frustrating parts. I don't know through how many deaths my character had to go until I finally figured out how to solve some of the puzzles. Yet eventually it's possible (with trial and error) to find the solution. The atmosphere and graphics hit a certain tone which I enjoyed experiencing and the cute little robot dog became a nice company. I enjoyed Black The Fall over several sessions (had to pause after being a bit too frustrated sometimes) and finished the game in about 5h. After completing I reloaded some chapters to get all achievements. Played on a Lenovo Legion Go running bazzite with TPD mode set to performance (20W).2 found this helpful
It was very challenging and clever. It expects solutions of you that you really have to think about, just try everything you can conceive. It will have you get caught when you definitely wouldn't have but that is usually a sign that you aren't solving the puzzle as intended so try a different approach.1 found this helpful
Seems to be a rather serious bug which deletes the save file after the first cutscene? Game is jank but okay, just leaving this so people can be aware. Possibly related to Linux?1 found this helpful
I think this game would be a little better if it had violence like in limbo or inside, anyways good puzzles (it gonna make you feel stupid for searching gameplays every 5 seconds) and the story is incredible. Is way too dark sometimes to play with full bright if you can1 found this helpful
It's more annoying than interesting.
Fun puzzle platformer just like Limbo / Inside , alt tabbing sometimes bugs out the game and makes it lose sound , besides that no issues , solid 7/10
