NODE (2025)

I would have loved to recommend this game, but I don't have the patience and high frustration tolerance it keeps demanding of me. I tried to make the original mode work, but after a series of very frustrating puzzles I find that I'm not able to switch to platformer mode. The atmosphere is top notch and I'm sucker for it, but the strict and by the numbers nature of some puzzles, and the game's physics not being the same on speed and regular mode, means that you will spend a lot of time not playing. Solutions to the puzzles are fairly easy to understand, but the timing is purely trial and error, which I find frustrating. To add to this frustration, I must watch in regular mode as the robot does a jump 5 times as I dial in the numbers, just to do it again on the next jump in the same puzzle. It adds up, I spent more time watch the robot move than playing or thinking. And now, I'm stuck on the original mode, without the ability to change control schemes to platformer mode and see if the story goes anywhere. So I can't honestly recommend this game, even if you like the setting, if you don't have generous patience and frustration threshold.

great game, love everything about it.

The graphics on this game are what brought me in. It has such clean visuals it scratches something in my brain. Its definitely a learning curve to get used to how the robot moves but i enjoy the puzzle aspect of this game. I love the environment and story, such great ambiance.

This was honestly a really good platform based game. I understand that some people had a issue with drift but I feel like that is intentional and needed so you don't just steam roll through it. I really enjoyed the game. I personally liked the story. I have more ending to try and get along with other easter eggs I have yet to discover. I'm play it again at some point for sure.

I would definitely recommend this game to other people if they like puzzle games. This definitely makes you really think like where do you, what to do, what decisions to make, when to use your power ups ect. I only would advise the creators of this game to either make the text that they are saying shorter and or to have them speak because there is a lot of reading and the controls for the robot was a bit annoying, but overall love the game. Can't wait to see what else they have in store for us!!!

So I played this for the first time yesterday. I have never done puzzle games where you have to figure out actions for x time to make it work. This being a new experience it was a ton of fun! Would def recommend if you like puzzle games! I feel the way the game progresses and slowly increases the difficulty is great. The robot also looks cute <3
