I finished it and enjoyed the puzzles, it just felt a bit dry.

Just finished this. Great game.

Enjoying this, nearing the end.

It's a very pleasant and consistently satisfying experience. But I'm not sure it's very hard, though maybe it's not meant to be. Most things you just power through on momentum and years of gaming nous - nothing's made me bend my brain inside out or stump me only to realise something through inverted thinking, in that sort of mental negative space way like in The Witness or Braid or Baba is You. But maybe the Cocoon concept led me to think it'd be more inception-y and recursive than the relatively friction-free journey it is.

Still fun though.

Finished. I liked it! Would probably say it's a great little game. But like Octoroc I can't say I love it. Not enough No Fricking Way thrills of surprise. Almost friction-free to a fault though this Did make it moreish.

Boss battles were great!

Started this today and am at about the half way point. It’s bloody impressive.

About 80% through now. The inventiveness, combined with the amazing way it keeps guiding you in the right direction so you don’t get frustrated is really brilliant.

And finished. That was bloody brilliant.

Played this and I have to confess that the amount of "eureka!" and a lot of self satisfaction praises is huge

Its stylish. Well designed puzzles that does need a lot of thought later on but there is a lot of holding your hands (areas quickly become inaccessible mean you are on the right path)

Boss battles are a joy to do.

Sublime. Can see why this is Eurogamer's GOTY, but it's not my GOTY circa 2023, but its damn well in the top 10 games of 2023.

My favourite type of puzzles in games are the ones where you are in a "locked room" and you know that all the answers are somewhere under your nose. I think this game does an excellent job with that type of puzzle. You are always in the right area, but it still manages to offer a good amount of thought and complexity.
