Clever and sweet little puzzle game that is narratively and aesthetically beautiful.



A few splash screens and then you're tossed right into a nearly silent and wonderful world of magic and whimsy. A strange creature glides by and your questions begin. What is that? What does this do? How do I get this to do that thing to make that other thing happen? It is a game of curiosity and observation at its core and all of it is wrapped in a very pretty art style. It is a very nice little journey and a very unique game.

However, I wouldn't say it is perfect. At least on console, it is a tiny bit awkward to play and probably gets that final star for me in a PC environment (I assume mobile would be a bit tougher than console, even). I also kind of wish it would be longer so we could see what other clever puzzle-solving devices the dev had up their sleeves. I think I also struggled with the difficulty arc as the five "levels" were a bit uneven. However, I should probably recognize I'm just being a little nit-picky as this is a quite good game.

If you'd like an artsy, puzzley, whimsical gaming afternoon, you can't go wrong with Gorogoa.
