Manifold Garden is a serotonin-inducing triumph of a puzzle game that will captivate anyone who loves abstract aesthetics. Every single frame of this game is a screenshot, and every puzzle one that challenges the brain to think of the world in a more incorporeal manner. If M.C. Escher is your favorite MC, Manifold Garden is an absolute must-play, and I cannot envision a better platform for this geometric garden than PC.

The only negative I could give is that the game often clips between sound files quite abruptly when you transition between rooms, opting to go without a cross-fade between tracks. This stands out in a game that is otherwise highly polished towards its very focused experience. Though it is brief, with my playthrough taking 3 hours, Manifold Garden has taken root as one of my favourite game experiences this year.

Manifold Garden offers an unusual gaming experience, with a good set of puzzle challenges surrounding its incredible impossible architectural universe.

방이 회전되는 퍼즐 중력을 거스르는 방.
방 외곽에 가서 스페이스바를 누르면 방이 회전된다.
ㄴ 저 멀리보이지 않는 땅끝으로 떨어지는 방법도 있다. 좋은 작품성. 스토리 없음.
너무 어려운 퍼즐이 문제.

its a short gravity based puzzle game, very good to look at and a cool concept but the lack of a story or the fact that most of the puzzle are very easy lowers the point for me

Lovely game with interesting riddles. There is barely no real plot, so you can focus just on the game mechanics and the riddles itself. The game challenges you to think outside the box and try to play with physics. Its a little game, that is executed beautifully.

Manifold Garden isn’t a particularly challenging puzzle experience, but it’s an awe-inspiring and memorable one. I can’t recommend it enough.

The game is amazing, mind bending and following the author for years while he was creating make this not a game, but a true work of art.

The aesthetics by themselves suffice to captivate game lovers. Literally shed some blood while playing 6 hours straight. Strongly recommend.

The concept of an infinite loop has been masterfully visualized in this first-person puzzle game, creating a visually mesmerizing experience. It’s definitely worth playing, but keep in mind that the puzzles are of a high difficulty level, and some players might get motion sickness, too.

A brilliant exploration and puzzle adventure that shines for its minimalist but amazing audiovisuals.

There are no 'game over's, only a zen-like cycle until you are enlightened enough to progress beyond it. [Issue#340, p.11]

Manifold Garden is a nice and pleasant title, especially to play it off and on and avoid saturation.

Manifold Garden is very original, and not only gameplay-wise but also when it comes to its art and arquitectural design. However, we feel like its design needs some work to bring it up there with the greatest puzzle games.

It's more than just puzzles. It's a mindblowingly abstract art piece. Skingcrawingly vast spaces, awe-inspiring soundscapes and music and the visuals will simply trip you out of your mind. Amazing experience.

The game is beautiful, however the puzzles are quite shallow, unsatisfying, and derivative of other games in many parts. The massive space in and in between stages does some of the heavy lifting here. Many puzzles feel tedious because you're constantly having to traverse infinity to get back to something right next to you originally. I love the concept and imagery but the game itself is just above mediocre.

It has one good idea around its gravity and mirror world, but it is not enough to make this a good enjoyable puzzle game, there should have been more to draw you in

What can say? Pretty "meh" in my opinion. I tried it and it was like "whatever"
SummaryManifold Garden is a first-person exploration game. Rediscover gravity and explore an Escher-esque world of impossible architecture. Witness infinity in first person, and master its rules to solve physics-defying puzzles. Cultivate a garden to open new paths forward, where an eternal expanse awaits.
