Hue
At the end of the journey it seems that something has remained unfinished, that the colors have stopped at the surface.
Hue is a unique puzzle platformer that will keep you entertained to its conclusion. There’s no real replay value but the design and the steady introduction of new obstacles make it worth a look if you’re a fan of the genre.

Hue is a beautifully designed puzzle-platformer that revolves around a unique color-switching mechanic. The game’s striking black-and-white aesthetic, which gradually shifts as you unlock new colors, creates a visually engaging experience. However, this ever-changing contrast can be harsh on the eyes over extended play sessions, so taking regular breaks is advisable.Gameplay-wise, Hue offers clever, well-paced puzzles that encourage exploration and experimentation. The difficulty curve is fair, making it accessible while still providing a satisfying challenge. With a completion time of around six hours..Whether at full price or on sale, Hue is a fantastic addition to any puzzle lover’s library. Its innovative mechanics and artistic presentation make it well worth experiencing—just be prepared to rest your eyes along the way.

Al inicio me pareció entretenido pero después de jugarlo hasta cierta parte por el final (yo creo), me aburrí demasiado, lo intente retomar varias veces pero no pude, lo jugaba 15 minutos y me volvía a aburrir, así que simplemente lo deje

Hue is a brilliant and fresh puzzle game that proves that the genre it’s still alive, even in the jungle of independent games. Well done Fiddlesticks!

This is an amazing puzzle game! The game desing, art and animation and especially the score - were all 10 out of 10. Looking forward to Hue 2 !

Quite a few of the later puzzles rely on reaction times alongside forward planning, and since they’re often bigger than those earlier in the game, it’s far more frustrating to have to restart because of a mistimed jump-and-switch or accidental misfire. For the first few hours, however, Hue’s puzzles are concise, inventive, and surprising. For that, at this price, Hue is an experiment worth experiencing.

While the narrative falls a bit flat, Hue succeeds at being both a puzzle game and a platformer. Most puzzle platformers only test my brain, but my reflexes also received a workout here. It impressively walks a tight line between being difficult, yet never left me feeling frustrated. Fiddlesticks have masterfully designed a game that dangled a carrot in front of me until its story ended.

In an age where many mainstream games offer countless distractions to constantly pull the player in all sorts of directions, Hue’s straightforward and relaxing presentation offers a nice, brief reprieve to play in between some of today’s lengthier titles. With a reasonable set of expectations, Hue can provide a pleasant adventure for players willing to give this unique game a shot; just don’t go in expecting it to stick with you beyond its playtime.

Setting aside the score and art style, you're left with a very basic platformer. While the color shifting concept is simple enough and I can appreciate the developers doing something differently, it just isn't enough to make this a memorable journey that you'll want to revisit, especially since most of the game is just breadcrumbing you along with no real thought or skills needed.

Great little puzzle game, love the idea of solving puzzles with color. The music is beautiful and it has a nice story. A little short but overall great game!

A kind, cautionary tale with an understandable plot. This game is similar to Limbo, but unlike it, Hue's puzzles are really puzzles. The music is simple, but beautiful. It's nice to fall asleep to it. The game can be recommended to people of all ages. Moreover, it was recently given away for free on Steam.

Hue is a nice little platform/puzzle game, with story and gameplay mechanics inspired by colours, but is let down by poor gameplay mechanics implementation on PS4. You have to change the colours of the backgrounds in order to reveal invisible doors and make some obstacles and platforms appear or disappear, all of which are linked to a certain color. This opens up the possibility of including gameplay mechanics like those of Guacamelee! and other older games, with the player shifting between "realities" in order to clear obstacles and proceed. It's great to shift between 2 realities at a time, but having to shift between 3 or more is too much for me. I stopped playing when I was stuck at a sequence where I had to quickly shift between 3 colors while running to avoid rolling stones. Why? Because the color shifting mechanic is tied to the right analogue stick instead of dedicated buttons, and it's imprecise. Tried it 20 times, failed, and that was it. I am sure that Hue is a nice game overall but the shifting mechanic implementation on PS4 was a disaster for me.
