A boy with a paper bag on his head, a girl in a yellow raincoat, and a world warped by the hum of a distant tower.

With no direct preference vote, the detail reveals a stark contrast. Attachment climbs high, ahead of 90% of games, carried by the fragile bond between its two lost children. The wish to rediscover it and fun sit above average. But controller feel finishes at the very bottom of the ranking, and its soundtrack comes out low too. Consistent with what the series is: an experience of mood and emotion, moving through nightmarish settings, but whose platforming and puzzle phases stay a support, sometimes imprecise.

Next to other adventure games, its oppressive atmosphere and absence of dialogue make it a memorable experience, in the vein of cruel fairy tales.

So, who is it for? For you if you like uneasy moods, wordless narratives, and fragile bonds. Much less if you judge first on the precision of the gameplay.
