A short, beautiful, wonderful-sounding nightmare, which is the most game by Amanita in the last few years and titles. Tested on myself and relatives.

While the puzzle design is quite basic, the freaky atmosphere and the well known and indescribable art direction of Amanita Design are always good reasons to have a good, thorough look at any game they produce.

Your trip through this powerful, horrible - and, yes, darkly comic - nightmare is the opposite of a drag. [Issue#366, p.116]

Ce jeu est juste incroyable sur tous les point d'un jeu vidéo :
- graphisme incroyable
- music qui produit des émotion - animation folle
tous simplement 10/10 :)

Viaje surrealista con una estética única y perturbadora. Se exploran las pesadillas de la mente de un niño con traumas o quizá con alguna enfermedad mental. Un fumadón

It’s definitely not a happy game, but I’d say it managed to exceed my expectations in some ways, despite being confusing and quite strange overall. Even though the experience can feel messy and hard to fully understand, there’s something about it that still works. I think it’s a good kind of game to play when you’re bored and just want something different, without needing to be fully invested or emotionally attached to what’s happening.

Two very acidic, bloody and emotionally powerful hours, full of symbolism and meanings, which should possibly be experienced in a single, distressing session. Good night and sweet dreams.

Happy Games takes us, ironically, to a dark, nightmare world where puzzles require gruesome solutions.

Those looking for a short, unsettling stroll can find one with Happy Game. One thing to note about it is that it's a short romp, able to be completed in just a few hours. There's nothing that would make me want to revisit it, but I certainly can't fault it for what it is: a seasonal treat filled with tricks.

Despite the alluring and violent art, Happy Game is dragged down by simple and random puzzles, annoying screen flashes, and awkward interactions.

It's unfortunate that I don't like this game more. Amanita is one of my beloved game companies. I adore Machinarium and Botanicula, and just recently played through the Samorost series. So, seeing this game and playing it, I was so excited... and frankly, I was disappointed by the experience. The stylistic choices aren't without merit. I was surprised that Amanita pulled off a horror aesthetic as well as they did (to be fair, their other games had horror elements as well). Although, this game isn't necessarily scary, it just has a horror theme. I'd say this game is moreso a dream-like than a horror game, if that makes sense. Anyways, one thing I found disappointing was the simplicity of the puzzles. The puzzle elements in their previous games were, admittedly, frustrating at times. But this is a cornerstone of the point-and-click genre! So, to see how easy this game is, that only leaves us to judge it on its style. It's just a shame to experience this game that I highly anticipated, and be so thoroughly underwhelmed.

Happy Game Cute and Creepy Happy game is a little over 2 hour long point and click puzzle adventure game, and trust me I hate point and click adventure games almost more than anybody, so that tells you a lot when I say I actually really enjoyed my time with this one… This game is weird, here you play as a kid going through a series of nightmares, the game consists of you clicking on the screen and tugging on things to progress, no weird combing items stuff here… youre go through cute and colorful to dark twisted creepy worlds, trying to rescue your stuffed bunny, your ball, or your dog… I don’t want to show too much of the game so Ill keep this review short and sweet, this is a really unique quick 2 hour experience worth checking out. I give Happy Game a 7/10
