Very fun little puzzle game to explore, had a pleasant afternoon playing through it. The story and characters were super endearing as well
A very heartwarming story. The word puzzles never get too hard, but there are a fair number of small delightful surprises that keep the gameplay fresh the whole way. Though, at about of 4 hours of playtime, it is a bit short for the price.
Cute game! If you're a fan of word puzzles definitely check this out. There's lots of novel mechanics that interweave the 3D platforming and the word puzzles. There's also lots of different word puzzle mechanics: crosswords, anagrams, rebuses, word finders, and a few I'd never seen before. I finished the main story in 4 hours so at the current price of $21 AUD it's a little pricey for the length, but I don't regret buying it. I would love a meatier sequel or DLC; this left me hungry for more puzzles! Also performance is quite bad despite the simple low-poly art style - hopefully that can be optimised soon.

This game is [b]so charming![/b] If you're at all fond of word puzzles, Rita is well worth the time. It's clever, endearing, and has a greater variety of puzzle types than you might guess at first.
Fantastic, short and sweet puzzler about crosswords! There's a medium level of difficulty that did get me stumped for a minute or two on some puzzles, but never enough to feel frustrated. Highly recommend to word game fans.
Game is absolutely amazing Combines exploration with crossword puzzle of every type literally , even cryptic which i happen to recently pick on my own. There are some challenges that require out of the box thinking literally and makes you wonder if you are stupid for missing the obvious. Also timed challenges hide secrets methods that may require some late game upgrades that makes you push yourself on timed activites. Apparently one is very very tight with the time and you need to be ultra exact making me lose 40 minutes on it. Please revert thewater race from 19s to 20s instead of the initial 21s since you wish for a harder achievement earning.
Wow, what a great game. Love the gameplay, love the puzzles and the story is so heartfelt. Do yourself a favor and give this a go.
I like Rita, it is a cute little puzzle game based around word puzzles. The demo really drew my wonder for playing the full thing. I liked solving crosswords to make stuff happen in the 3D space. The problem I have with this though is I don't know words, which is the main part of feeling happy from word puzzles. Unlike non-word puzzles, I am presented rules and I can logic it out, if I just don't know words, I *have* to look them up to continue. If I am looking up puzzle solutions, why am I playing a puzzle game. I like the game, but it just got to a point where I am not solving these puzzles
really cute word puzzle game, also plays well on the steam deck
I ended up really loving Rita, even though it frustrated me at times. It is a lovely, charming game that is full of character, and you can really feel the love behind it. The story connected to the developer’s nana gives the whole thing a warmth that is difficult to fake, and the ending was genuinely sweet. My main issue was the camera. It sometimes made movement awkward, but it was especially frustrating when searching for letters. Some could be hidden by the camera angle, and because the letters rotate, they can become almost impossible to see when viewed side-on. I spent a long time searching areas I had already checked because of that. Despite those frustrations, the game completely won me over. It is creative, funny, heartfelt and clearly made with a huge amount of love. Definitely worth playing.
