Gorogoa

да! отличные необычные головоломки

8/10 Gorogoa had been sitting on my "to play" list for quite a while, and waited for me patiently. then someday, i decided to give it a try. at first, it looks like a very simple game, maybe even just a puzzle game with pretty drawings. but once you start playing, you begin to see what it is actually about. the game gives you a few panels that you can move around, stack on top of each other, place inside one another, or separate. tou might think, "okay... how are they going to make a puzzle out of this?" Well, they do. and they do it surprisingly well. :) a door can open inside another picture, and a path can continue through a completely different image. two scenes that seem to have absolutely nothing to do with each other can suddenly turn out to be connected. most of the time, the solution isn't about finding a new item, but about looking at what you already have from a different perspective. that's probably my favorite thing about the game. sometimes you finally solve a puzzle and think, "wait, that's it? how did I not see that?"... the game doesn't throw completely random tasks at you and tell you to try everything until something works. there is logic behind it; you just have to notice that logic within the image. the artwork is also genuinely beautiful. the whole game feels like a collection of hand-drawn illustrations, but what's even better is that many of the little details aren't there just for decoration. you might look at something and think, "that's a nice detail," only to realize later that it was actually part of the puzzle. :) as for the story, the game doesn't really explain much. we follow a child through different stages of his life, and instead of directly telling us what is happening, the game expects us to understand most of it through the visuals. so don't expect a story book that lays everything out clearly. you have to fill in some of the gaps yourself. i'd say the puzzles are generally around medium difficulty. it's not the kind of game where you will be staring at the same puzzle for hours, and it's not particularly long either; you can finish it in a few hours. but i don't think the short length is a major problem here. the game says what it wants to say without dragging things out unnecessarily. long story short, Gorogoa is a little more than just a "puzzle game with pretty drawings." what it really does is teach you to look at the same thing in different ways. realizing that things which seem completely unrelated can actually be connected to each other is a surprisingly satisfying experience. definitely worth a try if you enjoy puzzle games. especially if you're looking for something a little different from the usual "find an item and use it somewhere else" formula.
