Reviewers Liked
- Exceedingly clever puzzles that are challenging without being illogical
Reviewers Didn't Like
- Very short
Gorogoa
Gorogoa is populated with scholars and dreamers, sat at desks with heavy books before them and turning beautifully illuminated pages, or slumped forward, faces buried in crossed arms as their sleeping minds conjure distant wonders. It is a world driven by obsession, and it is so clearly a product of obsession too. That you can go inside those illuminated pages, that you can go inside those distant wonders, does not really feel like so much of a leap in a place like this.

While it could just be called a puzzle game, Gorogoa really is something else entirely, mixing novel puzzle mechanics with a beautiful hand-drawn presentation. It's got parallels in puzzle-centric art games like recent Switch release Rime, but those...

While Gorogoa is one of this year’s shortest experiences, it’s still one that’s worth checking out, as it turns a relatively simple idea into one of the year’s most compelling and innovative puzzle games. Its eye-popping artwork may draw you in, but it’s the superb brain-teasers where you warp around entire worlds and a narrative that leads to some surreal visuals which will keep you hooked until it ends.

Technically, Gorogoa came out last week, while I was writing my overview of Oddworld: New n' Tasty, but the game is truly a masterpiece and I couldn't live with myself if I skipped over it for a second time.Although Gorogoa went live just under the...

Gorogoa is transcendent. It's unlike any other game I have played, with the possible exception of Portal. Indeed it's fitting that Valve's minimasterpiece is the only game I can bring to mind that bears any passing resemblance to Buried Signal's...
