    I decided to grab this game after seeing it compared to Mario 64. With such high expectations, I was prepared to be let down. However Candleman: The Complete Journey is an amazing experience that can't really be compared to anything else, because it's very different to everything else.

The serious and sometimes scary use of darkness, the unique lighting mechanic, and the unusual title character all make for a game that reminded why I started playing games in the first place. Looking forward to seeing what comes next from these developers.… Expand

    only worth 6 dollar
    =======
    - 3-3.5 hour long.
    -slow movement, rebitive platformer, unskippable cutsences, some boring chapters and bad story.
    -good light mechanics and good boss escape section.

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

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

    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: The Complete Journey is a very nicely developed 3D platformer that has a great hook or gimmick that it introduces immediately and utilizes throughout. For $15, it presents a good value for anyone that is seeking a clever, charming, accessible, and fun platformer.

    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.
