Monolight is a FREE puzzle plat-former on the more easier side. Made by Korean indie developer, that fact will get abundantly clear as the game has many text lines not properly translated into English. At first I thought it might have been an error, but the abundance of these encounters at specific moments made it clear that it was intentional. Guess Korean speakers get the privilege of seeing the full picture of the story, while everyone else is cucked into using google translator. There isn't even a function to have the text translated or even subtitled, no 2nd playthrough unlock of any kind. You are simply expected to know or translate Korean... You can't do that in gaming. Monolight is not some language focused "Heaven's Vault" or "Chants of Sennaar". I truly feel disrespected. The game itself is fine enough. Black & White style is reminiscent of LIMBO but that's where the comparison ends. Gameplay is good enough but clunky at times. Plat-formers especially require fine-tuning to shine. I applaud that at least some effort was put into the story for such a short game. The puzzles themselves were pretty logical and straightforward which made them easy, not in a bad way. Overa…

The story and the game play revolving around light is what really sets this game apart from the game Limbo. I am not the best at puzzle games, so I found one of the sections near the end of the game very difficult, otherwise the puzzles were not too challenging.

Its a great puzzle game that requires some skill and quick thinking. Its frustrating in the right way. The only downside I think is the buttons are not entirely intuitive. But you get used to that pretty quickly.

Игра Monolight – это стильный и минималистичный платформер-головоломка, подкупающий своей простотой, но требующий вдумчивого подхода. Визуальная составляющая лаконична, но очень приятна глазу: контрастные цвета и чистые линии создают запоминающуюся атмосферу. Геймплей основан на манипулировании светом и тенью, что предлагает интересные и порой нетривиальные задачки. Управление отзывчивое, позволяет точно контролировать движения персонажа, что критически важно для преодоления сложных участков. Несмотря на кажущуюся простоту, игра обладает неплохой реиграбельностью благодаря наличию секретов и альтернативных путей прохождения. Monolight отлично подходит для коротких игровых сессий, позволяя расслабиться и получить удовольствие от решения головоломок. Из минусов можно отметить недостаточную продолжительность и отсутствие более глубокого сюжета, но это компенсируется ценой и общим качеством исполнения. В целом, рекомендую Monolight всем любителям минималистичных головоломок и атмосферных платформеров.
