So boring it makes me want to jump out of the window. Seriously. How this thing won a Game of the Year award, I'll never know. No story, no music, no sense of accomplishment, no nothing. All you get are grids and dots. Can't remember the last time I was so overwhelmed by a game.
The game itself is great -- if only I were able to finish playing it! I got about halfway through and the game no longer runs. The loading screen appears for a bit, then I just get dumped back to the home screen. So I just played half the game and now have no way of completing it. Nvidia support just told me "We haven't had any issues been reported by users for the same." without any offer to help fix the problem. They also told me "Unfortunately refund is something you have check with Goggle Play store Tech support as this is a game from them." - which makes absolutely zero sense. The game is not "from them" -- it's an Nvidia Lightshield Studios Game. And Google won't issue a refund after 48 hours. So please do yourself a favor and get this game for a different platform, ideally directly from Thekla (the publisher) and avoid giving any money to Nvidia for this. Because you may not be able to finish the game and you'll have no recourse for getting your money back.
Worth every penny.
Pro: AMAZING GAME, works well, looks good. Against: 720p Port, Jaggies, Low framerates in built up areas. Framerate drops might be down to slow storage as it only seems to happen when during fast movement when new assets pop in. (Could Adopted storage help?) Some minimal Antialiasing would help the look of the game a lot.
This game is for hardcore puzzle gamers. Puzzles range from overly simple to downright frustrating. My favorite parts of the game are the wonderful visual style and the hidden nature puzzles. There is so much to explore and find that this game will be played for many hours. Playing this on my Nvidia Shield Pro (2015) and it had some issues with frame rate drop and slowdowns when I first started the game but after a restart of my system and playing for a few hours it now runs smoothly.
Love the graphics and the game so far. Yes it is a bit pricey but people develop quality games I will pay for them
