Cute

Extremely charming game with a great aesthetic and although the characters are rather basic, the game still did a good job making me care about them and their world. Unfortunately, the main reason I'm giving this a negative review is because of the collectathon-platformer nature (though this isn't really a platformer as such, because you never get a jump ability, but you know what I mean). That of course is itself is IN NO WAY a negative and there are plenty of fantastic collectathons. The main problem with THIS GAME in particular is that it likes to put "points of no return" right in the middle of levels, with there often being no way of seeing these points in advance. Sometimes you just cross a line and the game says "nope, no going back now" with no warning or anything. Like, it would be one thing to prevent you from going back to previous levels after you've beaten the current one, if annoying. But this one does it RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of levels. So if you hit one of those invisible lines, there's no way of getting any collectables you may have missed without completely STARTING A NEW GAME, since, in addition to points of no return in the middle of levels, there's no level select or anything. Like, it doesn't stop you from beating the game or anything, but it still feels very, VERY unsatisfying, since you can very easily miss progress for reasons that really aren't your (as the player's) fault at all. Even weirder is that some of these point of no returns, such as the last main level of the game, a mechanical spider will run up and attack you and it tells you to "run away" as if that's supposed to be a warning (which would make sense, because you had been able to run away from a similar creature in an earlier level). But in this one particular case, it doesn't seem to matter what you do, if you run into that spider (with you having no way of necessarily knowing it's even there, not that it should matter), you just automatically get caught and thrown into a point of no return for the level. If these were better handled (e.g., being able to escape from said spider like you should be or having a level select or something), I'd be able to give it a positive review, since there's so much to love about the game. I love the look of the world and the characters. I love how, as you get collectables, you're able to customize the appearance of your character more and more. I love how this really is a charming collectathon with an extremely relaxed nature where you don't have to worry about health or anything and thus can easily be enjoyed by all ages. But as is, the random points of no returns makes it so I cannot recommend this game as it is, unfortunately. It's a collectathon platformer that ultimately commits the ultimate sin a collectathon can commit: punishing you for exploring, the very thing you're supposed to do to find said collectables to begin with, with no way to rectify that other than starting a new game (especially since on top of it all, the game relies on an autosave system, so it's not like you can savescum or anything if you make a mistake either). So like I said, I genuinely, truly want to recommend this. But as is, I sadly cannot do that as people should not be punished for exploring in a game/genre that's fundamentally about exploration and taking in the sights at its very core.

Woven é um jogo 3D de exploração linear através de uma narrativa, sobre os mistérios do mundo de lã onde o personagem se encontra. Você controle o animal de pelúcia chamado Stuffy que apesar de parecer um elefante, pode ter a aparência modificada em máquinas de tecelagem espalhadas pelo jogo. O jogo é bem pacífico, do estilo apontar-e-clicar (point-and-click) e não há combate, apenas puzzles (quebra-cabeças) e exploração. Um pequeno robô voador chamado Glitch acompanha o personagem é dá dicas de quais ações devem ser tomadas para resolver os puzzles. O jogo é todo focado na narrativa, e conforme vai explorando o cenário e progredindo na história, o narrador fala um pouco mais do mundo e dos personagens. Parece uma fábula infantil e o mais legal é que muitas vezes a narrativa é rimada. A único dublagem no jogo é a voz do narrador. Infelizmente o jogo não possui legendas em português. O jogo pode parecer lento no progredir da história e o personagem anda sempre na mesma velocidade então é necessário ter paciência, algo que nem todos podem gostar. Para jogar é necessário apenas o mouse porém o jogo também tem compatibilidade total com o controle. O jogo tem um gráfico bonitinho mas não se enganem, é necessário no mínimo uma GTX 1050ti para ter os gráficos no máximo a 60 fps. Recomendo para aqueles que gostam de contos-de-fadas e narrativas. Não recomendado para aqueles que querem algo mais sério ou com mais ação.

In a world made of fabric, of stitching and thread, Woven looks charming, soft‑spoken, well‑bred. It could have been lovely for parents and tots, A gentle adventure in handcrafted spots. But design flaws pile up—dead ends, loops, repeats— Turning cozy potential into tedious beats. The rhyming narration and textures are sweet, Yet the gameplay unravels before it feels complete. A cute little dream that just doesn’t quite land, A story sewn warmly, but slipping from hand.
