I am shocked at the great reviews. It has really strong visuals, but everything else is comparable/worse than Somerville which got a 69 Somerville Reviews - OpenCritic

I'm super early in the game but I have zero desire to keep playing. 2 things I disliked from the first hour:

Spoiler for Hidden:

The boss fight is not interesting in the slightest. Your player movement is slow and uninteresting yet you have a standard Mario boss. Just why?!?<br><br>The second puzzle where you have to walk through the glyphs in the specific order. The glyphs are just thrown in the background and can be read top to bottom or left to right like the previous puzzle yet this time the game wanted right to left. If I missed something then that&#39;s on me, but otherwise this is just such a lazy puzzle and there&#39;s no reason to expect the game to get better.<br>

I read reviews and they really are glowing. Giving it another shot.

Edt: game is slowly getting better. The third non puzzle "thing" was good.

Done. My opinion of the game improved a lot. Maybe a 7 out of 10 for me and I understand why for many people it's a 10/10. Definitely better than sommerville.

Some silly reddit poster said the game was around 8 hours long yet I finished in 3 so that really messed with my expectations, both good and bad. Howlongtobeat has it at 4 hours though so I was close to average.

I actually wish the game was longer. Right at the end it introduced some pretty cool things and I think another few puzzles exploiting that would have been nice.


Would recomend.
