A unique mechanic that plays great
Viewfinder is a 3D indie puzzle adventure game with the unique mechanic of being able to remodel the environment using photographs. The game uses this hook very creatively in its varied puzzles and expands upon these mechanics inventively throughout the about 10 hours it takes to complete it if you want to get all achievements like me. There are also various collectibles and secrets scattered around if you like to explore, with several being very creative and fun to discover, including some easter eggs. The beautiful visuals and serene music create a relaxing feel when playing the game and it even has a cat-like creature you can pet if that wasn't enough. The story is simple but nice enough although it's very clearly the unique gameplay that is the star here. I wish they'd pushed the mechanics even further and made a more conclusive story as the ending is fine but it could have been better. The voice acting is hit and miss, with several of the main companions being over-acted but the supporting cast having more fitting voice acting but this is overall a minor quibble. Overall, the amazing puzzles built off the game's unique mechanic combined with the serene gameplay feel make this game a must-play, highly recommended!
