✦ AI summary

Cubway is a minimalist platformer with an abstract aesthetic and atmospheric soundtrack that some players find relaxing and engaging, though others criticize its trial-and-error gameplay as frustrating and poorly balanced, especially on easier difficulties where precision demands feel excessive and inconsistent with the game's peaceful presentation. The game suffers from uneven design philosophy—its artistic elements appeal to fans of contemplative experiences, but the punishing difficulty and lack of checkpoints or guidance create friction with the relaxation the aesthetic promises.

This game has lots of mixed reviews - some of them praise it, some of them hate it. It actually costs 4$/€, so it's not even that cheap. Some users called this game pretentious, since the story looks random and shallow with little effort employed in the graphical sector, while the gameplay itself isn't really even an arcade/puzzle - rather, it's just a simple platformer with few movement options. Other users praise the abstract artwork, the minimalistic environment, the relaxing atmosphere and such. The Italian translation of the game is horrible, so I think you should stick with the English one.. the first screen selection in which you're allowed to choose between easy, hard or normal literally reads "pass the game upon another difficulty in order to see analternative story ending" (yeah, "analternative" is written like this in the Italian page). Anyways, the whole environment is really minimalistic. It's all 2D, you're a red cube, you can move left or right and everything is black and white. Obviously, the goal is to reach the end in each level. There are lots of taglines and messages between the levels, it's up to you I think to judge if they're enough philosophical or not.. ju…

You don't need to beat the entire game in order to get all the achievements, but it's totally worth it if you do!

easily one of the worst games ive ever played in my entire life is this game supposed to be relaxing, or ragebait? the music and atmosphere says the first, yet the horrendous gameplay says the second. i've wanted to see more people play this, but now i understand why nobody plays this nonsense. im literally on easy mode and level 52 i swear requires near frame perfects plus the gameplay is just a heavily worse version of JS&B and GD there needs to be INDICATORS, checkpoints, something. skill or not, i should not be struggling this hard on easy mode i don't think i'll be touchin this game for a while.

I like the atmosphere and the pictures. The music is wonderful. Then again, the game itself is repeat of trial & error. I'm not sure if I would recommend this as soothing and healing game, as this game evokes the opposite. Unless you find tranquility in the fact that no matter what we do, we always have a vague hope to change the outcome but likely fail a ton before.

It's a port from mobile game and sometimes feels weird. Whole game based on specific mechanic, sounds visual expressions and quotes covering the story of the red dot. Some levels could be really challenging. Overall experience was good and I could recommend play this game.

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.
