    Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure is an engaging puzzle game full of heart, charm and a whole lot of variety.

    Arranger's cheeriness and playfulness thus works its way into every facet of its design, from the craft of its puzzles to the personality of its world and its inclusive embrace. This year has already supplied a pair of best-in-class puzzle games in the shape of Animal Well and Lorelei And The Laser Eyes; now they need to shift over and make room for one more.

    Arranger is a cute game that will welcome both puzzle veterans as well as those who never tried the genre. The unique premise and the creativity to apply it in different ways throughout its stages is great and feels really satisfying.

    Fresh and fun, minimalist to the point, Arranger is a perfect summer work for portability. Fast-paced but hardly frustrating, Arranger's puzzles combined with a very dry narrative make for a refreshing indie experience that entertains, even if it only lasts a handful of hours.

    Compact and playful and ingenious in the lightest, and least overbearing of ways, Arranger is just lovely.

    For me, I wish the game had a bit more bite to it. The optional content was more my speed in terms of puzzle solving and felt satisfying to crack. Most of the game felt a touch on the easy side, and while easy isn’t the same as bad, I was left wanting. That said, Arranger’s story, chill atmosphere, and unique art style make it an adventure worth trekking.

    There are good ideas, and occasionally very good execution, but on the whole none of it feels like it ever clicks into a coherent, must-play whole.

    In general Arranger is an imaginative, cheerful, funny game that doesn't outstay its welcome. I think it'll provide a great challenge for puzzle enthusiasts, but it's kind enough to throw at someone who is only just getting into them. In specific, I still haven't been able to solve the optional mine puzzles. But that just makes me want to try again.
