    The concept behind this 3D platformer (you play as a candle that can burn for merely 10 seconds to illuminate the environment) is interesting, but I found the narrative to be unnecessarily pretentious and the amateurish execution did not help either. [04/2018, p.50]

    Candleman is an interesting adventure platform game with charming story an original atmosphere, but is not enough to reach the quality of the best games of the genre.

    Progressing through the levels felt way too slow, finding collectible candles frustrated me, and I wasn’t particularly fond of the camera. The story failed to grab my attention due to the bland protagonist and the boring narrative. The gameplay mechanics stay somewhat interesting throughout, but the level design, platforming, and puzzles hold it back from greatness. Candleman is a decent experience, but it’s not a game I’d recommend without a few warnings.

    Cute little candle. Cute graphics most of the time. Cute story. Unique mechanics that align perfectly to the candle.

    Bom jogo, nada muito complexo, mas interessante para passar algumas horas jogando, puzzles simples que permitem que você relaxe enquanto joga
