    Pros:
    -GRAPHICS
    -Sound/Music -Puzzles Cons: -Backgrounds and foregrounds look too similar, blending in to each other -You play as this ugly... thing, ugh. The cons are big ones, making this pretty much unplayable. They made everything else beautiful but not the thing you have to see most often (main character)? He's so incredibly ugly that I kept killing him, over and over    Pros:

    If you're interested in Candle because of its stylish looks, just skip the game itself and enjoy the screenshots.

    Mix of adventure and platformer game excels especially with beautiful environment and clever puzzles. Controls and storytelling style unfortunately failed. [Issue #271]

    An exhilarating adventure-platform experience, Candle is an incredible start for Teku Studios. Incredible visuals, majestic world building and thoughtful puzzle design offers one of the best indie games we have seen in recent memory.
