COCOON

Great puzzle game. I enjoyed every single minute I played it.

Nice satisfying puzzles to match the great visuals

Cocoon is a top-down puzzler from Jeppe Carlsen, the creator of Limbo and INSIDE. I actively dislike Limbo and INSIDE as I feel like both of those games, and the style of copycats they established, are little more than pretentious frauds, suggesting a lot through their minimalism without giving any real answers or even implying interesting ones like a failed attempt at a JJ Abrams Mystery Box. Cocoon, however, I found a lot more appealing by essentially eschewing any attempt at story. There's an opening cutscene and an ending cutscene. but neither gives the impression of anything more complex than just a bunch of cool visual ideas that the dev wanted to express. That I appreciate a lot more as the game becomes this weird, multiversal, insectoid, sci-fi, artistic collage that you solve puzzles in. The game this most reminds me of is Hob, only without Hob's combat and with more complex puzzles. This is because both games have the same minimalism in storytelling and player interaction, similar visual cues and interactibles for puzzles, and the same basic loop of overcome challenge > watch cool machine do cool thing. I would still describe Cocoon as a beginner puzzler, though. It introduces concepts and teaches them and builds upon them through repeating challenges of increasing complexity, but they never feel fully fleshed out. Each time a concept reaches a satisfying level of challenge, it kind of plateaus there and soon enough the game moves on to the next thing. I don't really have a problem with that considering that entry-level games are always appreciated to introduce newcomers to the genre without treating them like morons, but it is a little disappointing. I would say that I'd wait for a sequel for more complex puzzles, but this dev doesn't really do sequels so I guess I'll just move on to a different puzzle game. I'd recommend this, but wait for a sale.

从解谜角度看，不算很优秀，太哄孩子了。 美术好。 另外，总觉得宗教意味有点明显。

Very simple, yet very cool

Absolutely gorgeous

Genialidad de juego, es de esos que te gustaría perder la memoria para volver a jugarlos de cero.
