Rita is a unique gem. The newspaper puzzle mechanic is a great idea and executed perfectly as you explore Aspendale and uncover more of the cute story. The pacing feels great as the complexity slowly builds without making you feel overwhelmed. I highly recommend checking out Rita for a chill puzzle game that you just want to keep playing.
Just scratched the surface, but it's *adorable*. Looking forward to playing more, will update review when I'm done.
This cute and adorable puzzle game combines a variety of different puzzle elements. Follow Rita's journey and love of games through vignettes of both her life and her love of word games. There's light platforming as you collect the letters during gameplay quests to complete the light crossword puzzles where solving a clue might affect the world. I am just plain in love with Rita and her wordplay.

i love the puzzles and the adventure still very early into the game so it doesn't seem that difficult for now adorable art too
Let me front-load this review by saying that 'Rita' has a really sweet and touching story, and this comes through in all aspects of the design and puzzles, in the way they are integrated with the story. This was clearly a labour of love, and its a genuinely inspiring game. Having said that, I also really enjoyed exploring the world here. It's super easy on the eyes and ears. The puzzles are all varied, with lots of little surprises and fun diversions thrown in. They're also scaffolded really nicely, so the difficulty increases in a satisfying way, without the momentum of the game stalling. Overall, highly recommended for anyone looking for some fun brain (and heart) exercise.
this game is awesome
super nice combination of metroidvania gameplay with crosswords. totally love the idea and execution of every part. totally recommendation for a nice little language puzzle game, 5 hours for 100 %. some race achievements may be not obtainable for persons with disabilities, that's kinda sad for such a cozy puzzle game. I had a hard time on one of the races.
Was waiting for this one since the demo. Still working through it but enjoying it so far. Very relaxing. Great puzzles which feel very rewarding when solved. Works well on Steamdeck.
cute and made with a lot of love
Rita is a lovely story wrapped up in charming puzzles and moments that made me reflect on the people and games that matter most to me. One of the most positive and genuine games I have played in a long time! <3
