It's a beautifully made game, immerses you in a weird and misterious puzzle world, makes you think about why is this stuff there, what does this animal do, ooooh, there's sth moving in the background, etc. I was enchanted.

But they just HAD to throw in boss fights. With multiple stages. Without checkpoints.

After finishing the first boss arena, on the 20th try, I had no desire to progress to see the next annoying fight. The grindy repetition of those dexterity puzzles, punishing me over and over again for getting tired of the thing and making mistakes at points I previously beat, completely killed the immersion for me. The boss was gone, the frustration stayed with me. Suddenly I had lost all interest in dragging glowing orbs around and look for hidden triggers.
Dunno who's the target audience here... action gamers will get bored with the puzzles, ppl looking for a relaxing time will get annoyed with the boss fights.

not ten mins in on the first boss "fight" its a pita drawn out and tricky one slight misstep and you're back to square one, just not fun... expected a puzzle solver, ended up blocked because I just don't have 14 y/o twitch reactions to dodge stuff....

This game started out really great. Fun main character, great graphics, interesting puzzles and a really exciting journey. But the main puzzle concept of using colored orbs to travel between locations got so complex that I had to use a utube gameplay cheat to get through most of the last 1/3 of the game. What started out as a really fun and challenging experience, turned out to be a game I couldn't wait to be done with. Too bad. I was really sold on the game in the beginning.
This game is very complex and i would recommend it only for advanced puzzle gamers.

Do I recommend this game to other players? No. Is it a bad game? Definitely not.

The game is extremely short, linear, and frankly easy. It feels like baby's first puzzle game. If you had not played the bigger puzzle games in the genre before this then I can see how this game would blow your mind, but as it is it's not even better than it's predecessors of LIMBO and INSIDE, not to mention the dozens of other far superior puzzle games.

This is one of the most overrated games I've ever played. If you want a good puzzle game series try Talos Principle 1+2.

Boss battles just ruin the game for me. I play puzzle games because I don't have good reflexes but prefer more methodical games. Cocoon throws that out of the window and introduces boss battles that a) require very precise timing and b) don't have checkpoints. Neither element belongs in a puzzle game.

Cool sound and environment design. Great new concept for puzzles but still for me it didn't quite deliver. Would have liked to have more/harder/better puzzles. Most of the game was pretty easy and right when puzzles were getting more interesting the game already ended.

As long as you are not expecting a puzzle game it's fine.

This game is a beautiful and creative art piece in alien worlds.
But if you want to actually solve puzzles and do more than just walk around back and forth carrying orbs.. there are many better games to spend your time and money on.

There are more than 2 balls to play with

Interesting idea at first. Get's incredibly repetitive very very quickly until the end when some more interesting puzzles are added. Was expecting more and instead felt like a puzzle game of 20 years ago. Basic loop is: move forward, drop key item, backtrack, pick up key item, move forward, drop key item, backtrack, pick up key item, backtrack again. Repeat this for 3 times (that is if you understood how to solve the puzzle).

Elements like adventure, exploration, story telling are absent.

For sure it is polished with great sound design, interesting world, and occasional cool visuals, but I would recommend only if on sale and for real puzzle enthusiasts.

I quite liked this game at first. I'm not generally into puzzle games, but this had such good reviews I thought I'd give it a go. Up to the 81% point I found it okay, I had to google once when I was stuck (having found out what to do, I never would have got there on my own!).

At 81% I got stuck again, had to google it, then got stuck immediately after. I didn't want to get through the game like that. It was also making me feel a bit stupid, which wasn't a nice feeling (i'm not stupid, IQ around 120 - no genius by any means but not dumb either).

So, sadly, I gave up on this game.

To put it in perspective I finished portal without help, but couldn't get through portal 2 as I found it too difficult.

Maybe puzzlers aren't for me, but this is my review and this is my opinion :)

Maybe I shouldn't try the Talos Principle 2, which is on my wishlist......
