Contrast

It's a little frustrating sometimes it lags and you have to do everything again from last save. But otherwise it's very cute and the atmosphere is great. The story is very engaging. Would reccomend if you like sth relaxing.

Playing Contrast was decent experience overall. The art style is really unique, and the gameplay mechanics are interesting, blending shadows and light in clever ways. While it didn't completely blow me away, it was an enjoyable way to spend a few hours.

Just like the gameplay sees you do, Contrast finds most of its success in the shadows. It's mechanics are standard fare for the puzzle-platformer genre and, as a result, it comes off feeling like a very understated experience despite the clearly charming setting and lavishly noir aesthetic. You do a lot of jumping, switch pulling, button pressing and box... heaving as Dawn, but that's hardly a bad thing when the centrally-tying mechanic of shifting into the shadows is just so, so clever. While it never does anything mind-blowing with the concept, getting to platform on characters you never tangibly see while the shadows they cast paint a scene with just enough expression for your mind to fill in the rest; well, it's just incredible and unlike anything I've experienced before in the medium. Oh, and the artstyle is just so gorgeous. Shoutout to the lighting for really making this entire game shine! And, without giving away too much, Contrast thoroughly explores its premise - the idea of this Shadowverse you inhabit without anyone in the "real" world ever acknowledging you - by the end. If you're like me, you'll find yourself with a perplexed brow once you roll credits purely from how interesting the ending is in reframing the entire game you just played through. It does a whole lot with a lot less than you might have come to expect from other games. If you're willing to meet it where it's at, Contrast's shadows will hold a lot more depth than first meets the eye.

Очень ламповая и приятная игра с прекрасным музыкальным сопровождением и очаровательной мелкой пупыркой, с которой вы решаете различные головоломки. Кайфули

Literally one of the best games I've ever played. The storyline is amazing, and the puzzle aspect is unique. I feel that this is a very underrated game and should gain more attention. It's very quick to complete, but it's also a little buggy sometimes.

Contrast is a short, but sweet game that takes you through the story of a broken family trying to get put back together by the very cause of its demise. While its gameplay is admittedly pretty janky at times, the novelty of its innovation is still fun to engage with, and it's all wrapped up in an elegant and lovingly crafted atmosphere that's nice to be a part of.

Good, short puzzle and platform game. Story wise it does the trick, but nothing breathtaking. Although sometimes the shadow machanic fails to do what its supposed to do. 3/5

Otra aventura cortita, esta vez de la mano de @compulsiongames.bsky.social (cuando no los controlaba Xbox) que cuenta una historia muy sencilla pero interesante, que mezcla puzles y plataformas con una mecánica de sombras muy divertida

I love the aesthetic and everything of the game, it has its charm, but its so frustrating and buggy it makes it hard to reccomend.

this game was short but amazing tell i remember playing this game on the ps4 at launch. Had no clue that it was a xbox studios game loved ever min of it. Truly a artistic expression of the soul and lovely story
