    Weird Beluga attempted to merge two distinct genres of game with Clid the Snail: top-down shooter and narrative. Although they succeeded on the worldbuilding and narrative front, the gunplay feels unforgiving, repetitive, and frustrating. I can’t sleight them for trying something new, as I generally enjoyed Clid’s grimy world, but I really did want more. I can’t wait to see where Weird Beluga go, as Clid is a good start for hopefully something better in the future.

    A reasonable top down shooter from Weird Beluga. While the complete package doesn’t seem to mesh together right, it still has enough substance to tickle some pleasure senses.

    I’m still glad I got the chance to cover Clid the Snail. It may not have fully lived up to my hype, but it’s still a solid and creative twin-stick adventure. Sure, there are things that Weird Beluga Studio could have done better, but I think the game is still worthwhile. Especially as a first effort. This is a fascinating world, and one I’d be happy to return to in a sequel. But as far as a successful first outing, it was a bit mixed in execution.

    Despite some good ideas and a rather promising narrative, Clid the Snail suffers from a highly repetitive level design and visuals as foggy as they are crippling. Finally if the arsenal and the range of enemies are fairly well found, the execution is too frustrating and leads to a very average experience, perfectible in many aspects.
