    first game ever i wanted to finish badly for the mystery of the story but couldn't for how much i didn't enjoy the gameplay. the pazzles are so random and boring (make food for your animal for example) i just stopped playing after the 10th time i needed to look for a walkthrough to continue playing. this game should have been a movie. even a silent movie. much lost potential.

    За старание пять баллов.
    В остальном все не так и хорошо.
    Она жестко фризит и ворует память, но для студии дебютанта круто. Активижн и убейсофт делают на том же уровне и все покупают.. В целом игра вроде про квест, а получается за кубиками бегать пришлось. Я понимаю возможно не нашли решения чем нас занять, но лучше бы мы побродили по степи, ибо пространств много, а пришлось кубики

    Немного не к месту, но детям для развития в самый раз.
    Потом у нас история вроде и глубокая и твист есть серьезный, а заканчивается неким перемещением.
    Скомкано в общем.
    Кому рекомендую?
    Детям от 8 лет и жо 17.

    This game look amazing but the developers decided to **** on it
    The story is awesome, unique, the graphics are good, the artwork is amazing
    then there is game play, absolutely disgusting, it makes you frustrated and give you headache, with that disgusting controls they decided to make the hardest nastiest puzzles of all time, there is only 4 puzzles in the game (thank god) and you can

    overall:
    Story: 9/10
    Game play: 1/10
    Graphics: 7/10
    Artwork: 9/10

    never gonna play this game ever again because of the disgusting controls

    One of the best stories among indie games of recent years. [10/2015, p.60]

    Cradle successfully combines a strange world with mysterious story and beautiful design. But the actual game principles are, unfortunately, lagging behind.

    A passable game in a fascinating, unique sci-fi world, Cradle is fine to explore but constantly reminds you how much more it could be.
