    With a core mechanic as simple as climbing over the fallen bodies of your past incarnations, Sometimes is fun, unique, and memorable.

Presentation, audio very well builds atmosphere and is consistent with the theme. There are some very sudden moments when game introduces you to the new mechanic and this was something that I liked the most. New ways of playing are not cosmetics but something that will offer new ways of solving puzzles. I had amazing time with this title.… Expand
