Nubla

Recommend: On sale. Currently on sale at a historical low, so now would be the time. This was a short puzzle game with some nice visuals. Not bad if you are into this type of game and do not mind short. Food for thought, the project was developed by students during their internship under the coordination of Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and Gammera Nest. Sadly, given its normal price being so high and the niche group that will be interested I don't think this game will ever meet the Steam player engagement to leave Profile Feature Limited status which is a shame. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2838057528 [h1]Info[/h1] [b]Profile Features Limited[/b] so will not be usable in your profile showcases or count on Steam's ach statistics or game count until "player engagement" is met. [list][*]Q. What metrics are used to qualify a game for profile customization features? [*]A. Our confidence metric is based on sales and player engagement figures. We do not include data from user reviews, wishlists, total playtime, or any other judgment of the "quality" of the game. We're simply looking for a broad player base.[/list]

Quite liked the artistic vision for this game. Looking forward to the sequel.

This is a game made by interns at the museum, but that does not excuse the lack of quality, attention to proper gameplay and overall lack of polish. I wonder what made the museum think they should charge money for this project. There's far better student projects on Steam that are shared for free and there's far better art games as well at a similar price point. Due to glitches and bugs I had to restart the game multiple times and I struggled with the unintuitive controls all the way through. It feels like production started for a tablet game, but somewhere along the line a switch was made to PC gaming, with not enough time left to consider proper controls. For instance: rotate clockwise with E and counterclockwise with Esc?? I bought this during a sale for a small amount, so I have no asked for a refund because I'm fine with the museum making a few cents of profit. I hope you'll invest it in their core business. Please don't make interns develop another game like this.

The aesthetics of the game are appealing, the story is sweet, and the puzzles are pretty rather than hard. I will be playing another round for some of the missable achievements. I did get this on sale, as some of the more critical reviews recommended. I do love art games, puzzle games, and psychedelia so this game might be perfect for players with similar tastes to mine. EDIT 1: I see Nubla 2 is due to be released - looking forward to playing more!

Cute, and a decent way to introduce people to that art museum. But there's no way something this short (under 1 hour) is worth $6. Maybe $1.
