Psikodelya

Psikodelya has got to be one of the lazier excuses for an "exploration game" I've seen recently. Gameplay consists of slowly trudging around a handful of bland levels picking up random garbage, interspersed with some insultingly simple box-pushing puzzles and extremely basic platforming. The levels themselves mainly take the form of utterly generic forests (or some other "natural" environment) with a handful of houses scattered around. The pool of 3D-models the game draws from is painfully small, and seems to have mostly come from the Unity asset store, a practice common in smaller-scale indie games, that, while somewhat controversial, doesn't inherently worsen a game. You should at least try to bring some visual variety to the table, not like Psikodelya, which will have you enter a room in a random house only to be greeted with three identical copies of the same table with stacks of books scattered around you've seen in every room since the start of the game, except that now the screen's been overlaid with a slightly different garish, eye-gouging filter. For a game that loves nothing more than half-baked references to drug culture, constantly dropping pretentious, largely meanin…

Not great. The camera movement gets sickening at times, and playing the game in general quickly becomes a chore because of the slow movement + large open levels (especially later on) + pixel hunting for collectibles that blend into the background. I wish they leaned more into the platforming, or just taking in the sights and sounds.

Great game! Involves lots of platform jumping and puzzle solving. Just don't overcomplicate things and search everywhere like I did. Things are often hidden in the most obvious places. Once you get past the first few levels, you start to learn how to play the game and it becomes a lot more enjoyable to play. I'm surprised this game has so little reviews. I loved it!

it has been a while since i had played anything so unapologetically lazy

Kinda good game idk

Repetitive music and filters. Has puzzles and item collecting.
