So I bought it as a hesitant whim as a way to pass time, unsure of whether or not I could understand any of the puzzles without help. I rarely play video games, but was drawn in by its art style and I had heard great things about it from my friends who played it on the Xbox360. The gruesome details are not the draw here….it's the challenge and the fun. Thank goodness there are no vocalizations of pain or groans from the boy….just the occasional splat, or sizzle. After seeing the boy get eviscerated, decapitated, or fall to his 'death' over and over, you can get a grin at how such events can serve you as entertainment. This is not a game for young children, as the graphics can be unsettling. But thanks to the ingenious creators, everything does make sense in the end. It's great to have the walkthru's avaliable to guide you, since sometimes you would swear that some of the puzzles can't be done. There was only one puzzle that completely baffled me, even when I saw the walk thru solution. In some cases, it requires several attempts to get the correct result. What pleases me the most is the 'Aha Factor'…after almost giving up on some of the puzzles, you get that moment where it all makes sense, and try to show your solution.
It also tests your hand-eye coordination.altho' the controls are simple, you must have perfect timing to execute some of the maneuvers. It is the type of game that requires patience to work through all the puzzles. I was looking for a game to intrigue me with its design, challenge, and physics.
