PASSAGE (2022)

I struggled to enjoy the game for two main reasons: 1. The game is kind of buggy. For example, if you crouch to pick up an item on the floor and then stand up again, you fall through the geometry of the floor, which basically soft locks you and you have to reset the game. As a workaround, we discovered that you can crouch, pick up the item, and then walk a bit before standing up again. 2. The puzzles require a lot of reading (e.g. many of the puzzles have 5 paragraphs of instructions describing the rules of the puzzle), but also you don't really have time to read those rules, because a monster is going to come in and kill you. I think the game would have worked better if it had puzzles similar to the "We Were Here" series, where there are zero written instructions provided with any of the puzzles, and part of the challenge of solving the puzzle is figuring out what the goal of the puzzle is in the first place. Of course, this means that the actually solving of puzzle itself must be made simpler to compensate for the fact that you're not explicitly told what the goal is.

Passage is a good puzzle game but I did have trouble figuring out what i should do which meant i died a lot, BUT if you can figure out the puzzles along with trying to out maneuver the monsters I'd say give it a try! It's not a bad game, im just bad at it. 6/10
