Viewfinder

This game is perfect to sit down and binge in one or two sessions. The story was really interesting, and I liked the way it was presented. The puzzles were also really fun to solve! My favorite part was having Cait along for the ride, it really made the world feel less lonely.

Viewfinder has solid puzzle design, but the ending is a complete failure. Forcing the player to kill Cait with zero alternative is cheap, manipulative writing. It doesn’t feel meaningful — it just feels like the developers wanted an easy emotional gut-punch and couldn’t be bothered to offer any real choice to not leave the audience miserable. If you want me to kill the cat to save the plan(e)t i got bad news for you. I finished the game feeling cheated and sad rather than happy to have solved the final level. That single decision ruined what was otherwise a good experience, I genuinely regret buying it and won’t be recommending this game to anyone. If this is the best story-finale the gen-z flavoured game-designer can come up with, it’s no surprise more and more peoples ditch the games with a similar handwriting all over it.

The game isn't very good at communicating its puzzles, and after the first half it feels like it has very few new ideas. Essentially, the when you get the camera. One puzzle had me solve it by taking two photos of the same battery, even though an earlier level had spent its time teaching the player how the camera worked in a completely different way. My reaction was simply, "Am I actually having fun?" The answer was no. The collectibles are also frustrating because they change randomly between levels with no warning. I spent ages looking for rubber ducks, only to discover I was actually supposed to be collecting fridge magnets instead. The first half of the game is genuinely enjoyable, with beautiful art, creative ideas, and some clever puzzles. Unfortunately, it feels like the developers ran out of ideas halfway through and stopped introducing meaningful new mechanics or challenges. I can't recommend buying it at full price. As for how it won a BAFTA, I'm still scratching my head.

jogo criativo e Incrível

Лушая игра века, за 180 ГРН она окупает весь свой лор на 2 часа, графику, милость CAIT, ЛООООР, и просто наслождения от самой лёгкой головоломки

这个真的深深的震撼住了我

ЭТО ЛУЧШАЯ ИГРА

ilk başta mekaniği basit gibi görünse de oynadıkça ne kadar yaratıcı olduğunu anlıyorsunuz. Bulmacalar ne çok kolay ne de gereksiz zor tam kararında ve hiç kendini tekrar etmiyor. Hikayesi çok ön planda olmasa da atmosferi ve keşif hissi oyuna ayrı bir hava katıyor. Her bölüm merak uyandırıyor ve oynamaya devam etmek istiyorsunuz, kesinlikle herkese tavsiye ederim.

Great game, it makes u use all of ur brain :)
