Short and sweet. Visually stunning, yet not technically demanding (60 fps, 5hrs battery on Steam Deck). Says Playable, but closer to Verified - most in-game text is automatically enlarged and font size can be increased. The learning curve is quite gentle, but is rewarding for players of all skill levels thanks to the stylish and satisfying execution of its core mechanics.

A light, pleasant challenge with a dash of existential unease.

Good game. A VR version wouldn't be quite the same due to binocular vision, but I would love to just be able to relax in these environments. I'm sure the VRChat community will get on it soon.

Exquisite classic indie title. Beautiful pixel art, atmospheric soundtrack, mysterious story. But most importantly, the combat design is the best of any game I've played. The game is built around teaching you the mechanics, making you into a master of it's combat. Every ability requires you to learn it, like a real-life skill, requiring timing, precision and strategy. Levels are designed to take advantage of that, and keep you on your toes so you are constantly switching fluidly through your weapons and abilities based on the environment and foes you're up against.

I completed the base game in about 10 hours. I have yet to try the extra content, but I am very interested in the boss rush mode, and I'm sure NG+ is where the combat shines even brighter.

Completed the game in around 5 hours, not taking things too slow (Got about half of the collectables and interacted with most of the NPCs).

I liked it! It's pretty, and really sweet. Not long, but very polished, and most of the value comes from the world they created and the "human" characters. It doesn't have many mechanics, so I think the length was appropriate. It's the kind of game that makes a nice cozy home in your thoughts for a while. It's a prime example of a simple idea, elegantly executed. Perhaps it will be another BAFTA winner in Annapurna's collection?

I would recommend this game, however, unlike the first game in some of the levels you do have to guess there is no way you would no for certain which makes the game mechanics a bit pointless. Especially in later levels when one mistake costs you hexagons
