Bokida - Heartfelt Reunion

There's not enough game in this art project. It's a walking simulator where the main feature is snow blindness, and they forgot to include the story. If you read the other reviews, there are common elements repeated by most: [h3]Exploration[/h3] Overall, the walking pace is low and the pick-up items are scattered too far and wide and not in logical places. By logical I mean "video game logic", like giving a pick-up/upgrade at the top of the mountain or behind the waterfall. Here those pick-ups are often missing so it really becomes an Easter egg hunt, but without any logic and very few eggs. This leaves exploration as very unsatisfactory: You check out every nook and cranny, but most of the time it ends up empty. So why bother and explore even more? [h3]Graphics[/h3] Many people call it beautiful, but it's really just simple geometry with a basic shader to show the edges. Because of the overall lack of colors and size of the world, it can be quite disorienting and boring. The glaring shades of white is not nice on the eyes or beautiful. [h3]Puzzles[/h3] Far too few! They are overall kinda clever and nice, but there just isn't enough of them. Most of the time you'll spending looking for the puzzles instead of being busy/entertained by solving them. [h3]Story[/h3] Too weak, wishy-washy pieces that you are supposed to put together yourself. And since the world is so big and empty, you'll likely miss large chunks of it (it's "told" through various stones that you can find scattered around). In the description the following features are promised: [list] * Written: Explore a stark environment rich with the potential for playfulness * Reality: Stark environment with unrealized potential [/list] [list] * Written: Change the world around you, building and altering massive structures * Reality: Create 15 color blocks to create a little stairs to get on top of the thing and never look back [/list] [list] * Written: Solve puzzles to radically transform the landscape * Reality: After solving a puzzle, some random useless objects will pop-up around a black tower [/list] [list] * Written: Relax and enjoy the experience of an intriguing world rich with mysteries * Reality: Boring experience in a boring world [/list] Given all the above, I cannot recommend this game at all. Everything is just so... meh. If you looking at this, but want more puzzles get [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/219890/Antichamber/]Antichamber[/url] instead.
