When it comes to whether I would recommend the game, I found it hard to decide. Story-wise, yes, but definitely not for the price. My boyfriend and I got it on sale for 5 euros, which I think is totally fine, if it was the regular price. If I had bought it outside of the sale for 15 euros, I would have been mad. We only spent an hour and a half on the game. Plus, you walk around a lot or glide over the ground. There …

(8 year old daughters review) I liked the game. It was so much fun playing with my dad and Arnold (My dog) sat on the couch with us. I like how it looks and the animals are very cute. :) (Dads review) The length of game is just right and the art style is very nice. Gameplay is very simple and easy for the younger players as the game pretty much holds your hand throughout. (Arnolds review) Woof! woof! woof!

Blanc is the kind of game that looks at you, tilts its head, and silently asks: “Do you want to feel something for a couple of hours?” Not joy. Not sadness. Just… something soft and gentle. Like emotional snowfall. At its core, Blanc is about two unlikely animal friends helping each other survive. No dialogue. No text. Just body language, animation, and vibes. And honestly? The game does a really good job …

While short and sweet, this game is worth it I think. Obviously for some the cost-to-hours ratio is going to be a stopping point. The game is short. The gameplay is not highly involved or complex. At times it can feel a bit muddy and unclear both to find your goal, and just to physically do your task in the game. But the story is cute and sharing this with someone, particularly under the covers on a cold afternoon, …

Short wholesome game about a friendship born of necessity. It's co-op but if you're someone like me who has no friends you can play it alone with a keyboard just fine. I felt like Leonardo Da Vinci when I controlled both of the characters at the same time.

80% of the 188 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Blanc. The complaint that keeps coming up: some puzzles are unclear or obscure. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

neutral · AI labelView post →First game of 2026 done <3 Let's start with the positive - The game is sweet, the mechanics are nice for local co-op IN THEORY (we'll get back to this), and the visuals are cohesive and really cute. I liked the storytelling through non-verbal cues (you play as a wolf cub and a baby deer, after all). On the negative side - the game is not good at cluing you into a path forward. Yes, you're following a trail of footsteps, but some puzzles are way too obscure for no reason. Some sound effects…

positive · AI labelView post →The most beautiful minimalist aesthetic i've ever experienced, to the point i've played through this multiple times I just wish I had someone to play coop with on this one. Granted, the puzzles in this game aren't incredible. They're fine and fun enough for two people, but something like It Takes Two takes it's co-op concepts a little further. And I think the reason why is because of the main issue I have with this game. It's incredibly short. It released today and I'm already 100%ed it after…

The beautiful hand-drawn black-and-white art, relaxing soundtrack, and wordless storytelling create an unforgettable atmosphere. Watching the little wolf cub and fawn help each other through the snow is both heartwarming and emotional. The cooperative puzzles are simple but thoughtfully designed, making the game perfect to play with a friend, your…

neutral · AI labelView post →The first time you boot this game it takes 8 minutes. Not because this is some state of the art game that requires an 8 minute boot, but because it will be busy downloading and installing a ♥♥♥♥ ton of Epic Games software, and then that software immediately gets to work sending Epic games every bit of information they can scrape from your system while you're sitting there wondering if the game crashed or...? You buy the spyware, and the game is included for free.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's cute alright and the visual style is nice, too. Other than that it's just not a good game. The landscape is full of invisible walls, controls are imprecise and you spend a lot of time just wondering what the developers might have wanted you to do, because the world seems to offer a lot more options that you just can't choose killing any possible immersion. What really put us off (played it with my ten year old kid) were the imbecile ducklings who seem to need our help, but don't want to…

Set in a vast, silent winter landscape, the game follows their journey as they learn to trust each other and work together to overcome environmental obstacles, navigate treacherous terrain, and ultimately reunite with their loved ones. The entire game is rendered in a striking black-and-white hand-drawn style, kind of like a living storybook. The…

You can also switch to solo mode without having to restart the game, which is convenient if the kids get stuck or frustrated at a certain puzzle. Regarding the puzzles, they are simple and easily solved but that's not to the detriment of the game, which is cozy and very sweet and kept me…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terrible. This game will always be remembered as my kids first experience of a game you just bail on because the character controls and camera angles are so janky you'll want to throw your controller out the window. There's no way to fix this game. You'd have to start over and make it a 2D or 2.5D. Making this 3D with the awkward world they built was a mistake. We made it to level 7 out of 10. Wanted to give up earlier but stuck with it for the kid. But when we got to a simple puzzle that…

Controlling both character is rather janky and not fun, the "puzzles" are nearly non-existant and is a basically just a walking simulator. Story is bland in my opinion and for something thats meant to be emotional, failed to get me hooked at all and i just wanted to finish to game so i could uninstall. Might be a slightly better with a friend, but at 2 hours total to finish and needing to buy 2 copies of the game seems hardly worth it.
