Blue Prince

Great game! Very deep. Easy to play hard to master. A must buy no joke.

yes

Rediculously hard :/

Started out interesting, but quickly became boring and repeditive.

It took a bit to figure out what this game was about but once I got close to the ending I couldn't put it down. Played great on Steam Deck.

I really find myself strongly disagreeing with some of the negative reviews and their criticisms. Everyone's focus seems to be on either the RNG mechanics or the fact that everything requires good note-taking and some screenshots. Which, I can understand frustration about RNG, but not the note-taking. I really really enjoy the fact that I get to play detective. I am a pretty detail-oriented, analytical person and getting to make detailed notes about the documents I discover, taking screenshots of documents/info I come across. Piecing together incredibly specific information from various different areas to uncover how to solve a puzzle really scratches an itch for me. I can't tell you how satisfying one puzzle was in the game that I solved because I had taken such detailed info about some previous documents I had read. Especially because so many otherwise good games with much easier puzzles literally tell you the answer before you've had 5 seconds to solve it (Looking at you God of War: Ragnarök) But, if that isn't your sort of thing, you won't like it. If you don't like having to take notes and if playing detective isn't fun to you, then this game is not for you. That's okay! I just don't like dogging on games for being what they are meant to be. A complex, layered mystery puzzle game where going back through the same areas many times is required to solve many different puzzles and in which, taking lots of notes (and screenshots when needed) is a requirement if you want to solve some of the more complicated puzzles. Yes, can the RNG screw you sometimes? Sure, and its fair to be annoyed by that. I think also, a part of my note taking has been keeping track of all unsolved puzzles or questions I have. Whenever I start a new day, I just kind of used whatever rooms I drafted to solve whichever puzzles seemed available to solve or to get answers from. I think that mentality will help you a lot vs what some commenters are doing which is "I only care about this one puzzle and will keep trying to draft to get those exact circumstances". In some cases, working on a different question I had ended up being the answer to some other puzzle I was working on, so it would be very frustrating if you aren't willing to bounce around a little. I love the atmosphere. I love that the game had *certain aspects* that reminded me of Outer Wilds. I love that you can basically go as shallow or as deep as you want to go with solving the puzzles. I mean, you can really "beat the game" much quicker than you can actually uncover some of the deeper mysteries of the game. Can't way to finish solving the remainder of the questions and puzzles I have left to solve and I'll be sad when its over!

I hope this isn't a political statement.
