You mine shapes and colors and then cut & recombine as the hub demands using conveyor belts and machines to cut, stack and color shapes. While drawing inspiration from Factorio and fans of Factorio will get right into this, it is its own thing, with certain shape combination requiring a next level of factory construction puzzling to recombine the correct shapes and colors. **** eliminates construction costs and input chain blocking. Anything is accepted at the hub, although only correct shapes will count towards the current goal, and so provides a delightful simplistic factory network building experience. If you're into the genre, you can easily get 5-10 hours out of this, which is great at the price. Performance can be problematic in big factories, so a decent system is recommended, but the developer keeps updating and optimizing the game.

An enjoyable experience if you like immersive survival with a pretty interesting story. You can play at your own pace, and progress as you gain experience. Immersion is heavily carried by great graphics and detailed sound effects. The base gameplay loop is similar to Subnautica, and is best experienced if you go in blind and discover and learn the jungle on your own. Don't look up anything on wikis, but pay attention to every detail. This way, the game has a lot of difficulty that can be easily tackled as you gain experience, which is a very rewarding.

Well made puzzle game, drawing much inspiration from Portal, with excellent story that is well written and voice acted. A somewhat short game (4.4 hours for me) with little replay value, but still worth the price to me. Puzzles are cleverly designed but not too hard. The solutions are straightforward, even when you miss it by overthinking a puzzle. Unique graphics style with many details. Absolutely recommended.

Not for everyone, but for lovers of parkour style games, including old-timers who played Q3 and UrT jump maps, this is a blast. The learning curve is easy-to-moderate but very long and there's always ways to improve. Every map is initially pretty challenging, then become easy, but still has loads of replayability to improve your time and find every trick and shortcut. Minor terrain/environment glitches, but nothing game breaking. Multi-player is a bit basic and could be improved for better social experience (score charts don't always update, no race modes, almost no alerts for people improving their times or beating yours).

Not without its flaws, but they are all forgiven, because this game is beautiful, immersive and just enjoyable way to spend a weekend (or two, or three...)

This game will let your imagination run wild. Explore the ship, the story, enjoy the music, the atmosphere. Let yourself be enveloped in this immersive mystery on board the Obra Dinn.

Highly enjoyable. Easily the best story and best presentation of any adventure point & click game I have ever played. The characters are unique and engaging and well played by their voice actors, with only a few exceptions. The game allows you to decide how Lee (the main character played by you) responds to various situation. It's actually fun be required to make moral decision, pick sides, or how to bring horrible truths to a child, although it doesn't seem to have any significant impact on the progress of the story. As a point-and-click adventure, this game falls short. The actions and choices are obvious, and extremely linear. Objects can't be investigated until they fit into the plot. In a couple of cases, I even figured out what I needed to do, before I could interact with the required items, and had to go click on the objective before I could gather the required items. Other objects can be investigated but serves no purpose at all, not even as back-story or context for the location, and Lee (the main character) simply says "Hmm" while the camera pans across the object. Sometimes, Lee will decide that person must take option B (leave/stay, tell/not tell), but they will go ahead and do option A anyway with some excuse. The game as few "action" sequences, that are not much more than simple quick-time-events, but they still work quite well to create dramatic situations, and gets the adrenaline running. To summarize, this is honestly not much ****, but still a very enjoyable and engaging experience as an interactive TV series.
