Blue Prince

Very rarely, games do come along that define a new subgenre of game, and Blue Prince is one such example. Describing it as a room drafting puzzle roguelike is technically correct, yet seems to fall short of the whole. Never before has a game caused me to throw up my arms in exasperation and delight at the same time so often. Keep playing after you've hit credits, and get to room 46 again for the true delights.

I hated this game at the start, but after multiple hours it slowly started to become fun, then after around like 10-15 hours I was really getting excited, the excitement is now slowing down a bit as major leaps and bounds seem to be slowing down and I don't want to read endless paragraphs surrounding lore, but through it all I find myself both having some fun and feeling frustrated at silly things that just feel stupid whether it is bad RNG or some other things not working out (or having my day prematurely ended when I "reached" the "end of the 'tutorial'" ([spoiler] Yes I just reached room 46 after 24 hours of playtime I know that's supposedly slow based on what other reviews say [/spoiler])) I guess I find myself many days now either A) having an awful start and ending a day super early (like 10 rooms at most) or B) having an incredible run with so much momentum that is just instantly killed by RNG or some other factor. Am I still going to play this? Probably. Will I enjoy it? Yeah enough to keep me playing . Will I ever care about the lore which seems so integrated into the game (possibly like outer wilds whose lore I was deeply immersed in)? Not a chance in the world. Will I still have extremely frustrating moments cause of RNG? Guarantee it. Either way I still leave a positive review because I can absolutely see why it is such a popular puzzle game beloved by many and I still do enjoy it. However, expect frustrating moments and plenty of boring moments mixed in. It's not my absolute favorite puzzle game like Outer Wilds or Fez or something else but it certainly holds its ground among great puzzle games I guess.

A wonderful game, with countless little puzzles or mysteries to solve. Though, some of them are a bit odd or hard to understand, even when one has the answer. And the story is amazing, though I won't specify why.

It might seem a bit pointless to begin with, but keep at it, as it all gets clearer day by day.

The kind of game where unveiling a clue leads to you back into another clue. Answers beget more questions—and just when you think you'd made it... you realize you've only scratched the surface. An idea came to me when I was laying in bed. I ran it over a few more times before shooting up to try it out at 3AM. It worked. And I felt overwhelming joy.

A great game, good balance of challenges and feelings of progression, fantastic sense of achievement when you finally get to the stage you've been working towards.

Прошла игру. Вернулась в игру. Оказалось, что в пройденной игре ещё проходить и проходить. Офигенно)
