Platonic

A short and fun environmental puzzle game. One pretty important section (the hub panel) was frustrating because it felt like guesswork with poor controls rather than problem solving.

This took me 7 hours start to finish. Your mileage may vary, but if you're a big puzzle fan like me, you'll probably find this game on the short side. Definitely take notes and screenshots as you go. It's about half code hunting, and half shuffling pieces to reshape surroundings which you then walk across, but overall it's smooth and enjoyable, everything has a nice cohesive logic to it.

I don't know that I'd say Platonic hits that same dopamine reward center that other "metroidbrainias" do, but it's a solid first-person puzzler regardless. Each realm has its own puzzle type/rules to learn, and then you put it all together in the end. It's good, but it might feel like a disappointment if you've just come off of Blue Prince or Outer Wilds. Go in with lower expectations.
