Figment

Unlikable protagonist with an annoying sidekick, simple, but tedious puzzles, some of the tasks need good timing but controls are far from perfect. What I really liked were the music and the background art.

Easy game to play whn you do not want to think so much. Nice story but i do not like how most of the lost memories are hidden in the game, you need to back track only for those.

... but the execution is... far from remarkable. I mean, the game manages to actually render its own story... like... boring. The idea is good, but there's no mystery, nor adventures, nor funny jokes. As for the gameplay, it 's a top down hack n slash without any sort of intricacies, and its 'puzzle' are basically 'put this here and this section move'. There's, however, something interesting in the audio department, such as song implemented o the gameplay, but nothing exceptional. To be perfectly frank, this game could still be fun, or interesting for anyone interested into different representation of the mind, but other than that, there isn't much to talk about.

The game is mostly a trek through colorful landscapes of the mindscape. It's creative, playful, with nice tunes and songs, all while dealing with both positive and negative emotions. The gameplay itself isn't much. Listen to characters speak, walk some, fight someone, walk some more, solve a puzzle, walk. Then do some backtracking. The pacing heavily leans on the quiet segments rather than engaging ones. And due to simplicity of puzzles or the lack of any challenge in combat, those parts get done very fast. Maybe this game is better suited for kids. The presentation catches attention and the story has good lessons to teach about emotions, to the minds not yet jaded.

I picked this up thinking it was more of a puzzle game than it is, but I still enjoyed myself. This puzzles are generally easy, but I was actually happy with that as a change from some of my other recent games. The setting is not the most imaginative take I've seen on a mental world, but it's still quite creative; and the story surprised me with some of its decisions.
