    This is a beautiful, compelling and simple game. It's really relaxing to play with no time limits and a childlike simplicity. My girlfriend really enjoys playing this with me. It has a nice sleepy magical storytelling feel, perfect for the Xmas holidays.

    The artwork is gorgeous and some of the puzzles are very intricate but so much of this game is just trial and error. It's beautiful and the person who made it is clearly a genius but it's just not much fun and personally I didn't find it a deep or moving experience that some seem to think.

    This game is awesome. I love its art design and drawing. I'd give it 10 if it's story is not that short. Anyway I still strongly recommended this game to puzzle game lovers.

    Did you ever want to enter the world of some lovingly-crafted illustration? This game offers at least that. By the last part of the game, maybe you will grow tired of hunting images for elusive details to fit together, but it's an easy fix to that: don't take it all in one sitting, even if the whole experience only takes a few hours to get through.

By the last part of the game, maybe you will grow tired of hunting images for elusive details to fit together, but it's an easy fix to that: don't take it all in one sitting, even if the whole experience only takes a few hours to get through.

    The game aims higher than just being an audio-visual treat, though. The nifty mechanic of advancing your character through finding connections between parts of images is used as a metaphor for advancing on our spiritual journey through life. It's about following an epiphany, about seeing the inter-connectedness of everything, about pushing forward when the going gets hard, and in the end, finding meaning: the last piece of the puzzle to be put together, is your very life.

    Does it succeed? I'd say that if if stirred your mind and soul, it did a pretty damn fine job. If you're the right kind of person, this game will offer you some genuine moments of insight and amazement. But maybe you're not that type, in which case, this game is just some artsy-fartsy work of love pretty well-put-together by a guy who grew bored with his well-paying tech job, the poor idiot.    … Expand

    极具创意的解谜游戏，利用不同的画面的组合进行解谜，实乃独到。可惜流程实在是有些短。

    美术设计是卖点。游戏融合经典解密和漫画式场景分镜解密，刚上手玩有点懵。没有玩法提示，前期玩着完全靠瞎点理解游戏机制。了解机制后解密就很快了。个人作品流程比较短。

    A simple and highly affecting puzzler. [Issue#197, p.72]

    Melancholic expedition to magical realism that emphasizes the artistic power of an independent scene. We definitely recommend the game on a mobile platform, it fits better there. [Issue#282]

    Gorogoa crafts its inventive, sliding-tile puzzles and magical world with a graceful simplicity across a compact but fulfilling adventure. The excitement of solving each puzzle may be lost on a repeat playthrough, but its hand-drawn art and clever payoffs are no less satisfying to watch unfold again and again. Gorogoa manages to say so much without uttering a single word, endowing it with a mystery that invites a more attentive, thoughtful revisit — and one that I was more than happy to accept.
