    Carto is adorable. A sympathetic story filled with an infectious enthusiasm for adventure. While it falls very short in several sections, any game that leaves us wanting more is always a good game, after all.

    In its modest, unassuming way, it's gently profound, too. [Issue#352, p.116]

    Carto is a strong contender for the title of 2020's best adventure. Involved, intimate gameplay and incredible attention to detail make even the smallest islands feel remarkably rich and expansive.

Carto made me feel happy in a way that most other games fall way short of. It isn't going to keep you busy for more than a couple of days, depending on your pace, but it is a great experience that I'd highly recommend.… Full Review »

    When I first saw the name of the game, I thought it was a game based on cartography and figured I could learn a couple of things about it in a fun way.

    Sadly, game only uses maps as a puzzle mechanic, not delving into the science itself.

    It was a little bit short, but some of the puzzles were really fun and hard, while some of them are too easy. Originality was there, but only in short sequences.

    I'd say I enjoyed the time I spent on this game.

    But like other user said, this game is more suited for children, and they can grasp the aspect of directions from this game (like north, south, south etc.) and some other map related informations can be absorbed from the game naturally as well. Other than that, it has a basic grammar, so game can be easily played by A1-A2 English talkers.    … Full Review »
