It is a rare thing to purchase a game and immediately feel as though it is precisely designed to make you look cleverer than you actually are. I have only just bought Rhell, and already I am convinced that the game is dripping with more personality and style than most games on here. It is, quite frankly, very out there. The mechanics possess a wonderful, interconnected chaos, so many combinations to fiddle with! It …

Usually when people say "this game doesn't hold your hand" they actually mean "this game is difficult" and that's not what that's meant to mean. This game doesn't hold your hand. This game drops you into a world with a vague gesture in a direction that kinda helps. This game rarely gives you the tools you need to solve problems, and instead gradually drip feeds you the resources and methods to create your own tools. …

This is one of my favorite games ever. And don't let the cozy/cute facade allude you. It's got some serious metroidvania/immersive sim gears running underneath: A multitude of ways to solve any situation. Box stacking. Really tricky puzzles. Spells that make you want to revisit levels and see what else can you find out. Magnets! Portals! Per level fast travel (you don't waste time backtracking). More spells than you …

I got stuck on a puzzle that required me to press two buttons in a sequence so I gave a crate the gift of life and painstakingly waited for it to press them for me. 10/10 Puzzles are truly open-ended and finding new runes and new uses for them is satisfying and rewarding. It almost never feels like I found the intended solution for a puzzle and I love that. The screenshots and trailers immediately drew me in and I …

I loved this game, but I need to start with my main negative gripe so it can hopefully be seen and addressed in an update: The music in this game is actively and memorably bad. Every song is extremely repetitive with little melody, hollow sounding instruments, and annoying noises. The biggest dishonorable mentions though go to the Factory and Underwater areas for having repetitive chanting sounds on loop while …

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times is an amazing immersive sim adventure game mixed with a bit of sokoban-like puzzler, collect-a-thon platformer, open-ended metroidvania, and soulslike worldbuilding. It fuses puzzles with problems and tasks you to solve them with unique combinations of 5 rune slots and 40 spells (directional, elemental, deployable, conditional, transformational, time-related, shape-related, and unique ones like giving life, portals, magnetic, etc.). Having played plenty of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought this immediately, but right now the game is borked on Steam Deck. When I try to open the game it loads but then sends me back to the Steam Deck intro animations, though I got to the menu once (it crashed when I upped the resolution while windowed). Hopefully this is fixed soon.

It's all very creative and very smart, and makes you feel creative and smart* too! Go play it! *sometimes it makes you feel dumb but that's just as fun

neutral · AI labelView post →If your favorite part of breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom was completing shrines the "wrong" way then this game is for you. A little clunkyness in the controls and no invert camera option, but once you get over that it's just a great game in every aspect. For immersive sim fans this is a must play.
