Entangled (2022)

⠀

Entangled is one of literally thousands of retro 2D platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere... and I'm not kidding. Searching for "platformers" on the Steam store page yields over 17,000 results! Is this one of the best of those? Absolutely not. This platformer is a badly made and objectively failed 2D retro pixel platformer with a basic swing mechanism, and no compelling reason for anyone to want to play it. Which is how things panned out in terms of popular reception. Platforming is an old, mostly dead genre, and this lacklustre experience, while it doesn't have an upfront cost, isn't saving the genre... it's no surprise this failed to capture any attention from gamers in the era of immersive 3D gaming. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Vall…

Neat puzzles with a very nice level of difficulty. Some of the USB keys can be a bit tricky to collect, but they're also some of the best puzzles, so definitely don't skip them. Really nice game.

puzzles are not that good at a puzzle game... They are ok tho

Short but very entretaing and good puzzle game. I liked the entanglement mechanics and the story.
