    Interesting premise, charging up to 3 balls to send like a pinball to collect energy. The game is kind of a puzzle game, you collect energy hitting walls and such. That is fine, the problem comes when you have to solve puzzles with timed activations that are chained. Fail one (which is quite easy) and you have to start again, and again, and again. And when you have some enemy energy wavesInteresting premise, charging up to 3 balls to send like a pinball to collect energy.

    Thankfully, I got it from Game pass, played till the second boss, and that's it.    … Expand

    It has very nice art style and beautiful atmosphere. Gameplay is sometimes not that good but otherwise, it's a good game and I would recommend it.

    As random as it sounds, combining robots, pinball, and hack and slash game play absolutely works. The Creature in the Well is by no means a casual game due to its difficulty, though the slow but steady ramping of skill required and the satisfaction of completing a dungeon section are more than enough to keep almost any gamer trying to beat just one more room.

    Creature in the Well inovates in many ways, and has a great atmosphere. But the game is damn tough and will discourage many players.

    Creature in the Well is a hypnotic flipper ‘n’ slash with astonishing art design. A brilliant mix that explodes in pure arcade pleasure, despite its dungeon crawling being quite repetitive and little inspired.
