Despite some of its flaws, the few hours you’ll spend with Creature of the Well will be some of the most satisfying you’ll spend in all of gaming in 2019.

8/10
Though it doesn't always explain things well, Creature in the Well is a fun dungeon crawler that cleverly uses pinball-inspired mechanics in lieu of traditional hack-and-slash combat.

More frustrating than it needed to be

It's basically a combination of a bullet hell game and Peggle. It's a fun idea and nicely put together, but there were a few issues with controls, difficulty and respawning that made me not want to finish it.

Too many small problems add up.

This game might be fun if it wasn't so easy to die instantly. Or if dying didn't require such a punishing slog back to where you were. Or if the balls bounced predictably, or if your movement speed was anywhere near as fast as the balls are. Or if they didn't insist on putting 6 balls on the screen at a time, any one of which could kill you instantly. As it is, this game is just an overpriced, incredibly frustrating mess hiding behind some pretty graphics. I wouldn't buy it again for $0.01.
