A great game with a ton of variety and a ton of different play styles. That combined with a high dose of RNG give it an extreme amount of replayability.

The game is fun and it's fast. The RNG can be frustrating but it keeps it interesting.

My only complaint is that the Completionist++ achievement should not exist - the majority of the jokers are noise which would generally harm attempts to play at the highest difficulty, so having to go through and randomly encounter and then win games with them all is an absurd time sink that no one should attempt and no achievement should reward. So long as you accept in advance that you will not 100% this game, it's not a dealbreaker.

The puzzles are OK, but the controls are painful and cannot be remapped. It doesn't support WASD - only the arrow keys, so if you have a keyboard layout without them best of luck. The other keys for action (H, space, etc.) also can't be rebound, so if you have a keyboard layout where those are painful or inconvenient, too bad.

This game is beautiful. The puzzles are fun and require some thought, but at no point did I become frustrated, and with enough time they all made sense. The attention to detail that went into the level design and how it interacted with the game mechanics is stunning, particularly if you try to do a second runthrough for the "The Game is Not Enough" achievement, which requires a significantly different way of approaching it.

This is clearly a work of passion and care, which is both the best thing about the game......and the worst. My only real complaint is that the folks responsible for the game REALLY want you to see their kaleidoscopic graphics. At the end of each level, you have to watch the equivalent of a college art project unrelated to the level for 10-15 seconds and then have to hold down a button for (no joke) at least 10 seconds to proceed on in the game. Would a simple "click to continue" not have been sufficient? At the end of the game it's particularly absurd, where you have to sit through *minutes* of morphing graphics, again nothing to do with the game (no words, no credits, nothing but an acid trip) for the "you beat the game" achievement to pop up. Dear developers: we learned that unskippable dialogue and unskippable cutscenes were bad in what, 1996? Please get with the program.

Puzzles: Enjoyable and not overly challenging. One or two were tricky but overall quite fun.
Plot: Meh.
All in all well worth the time I put into it.
