    Gorogoa - 7.8 / 10 - {recommend}
    The game is [Good, but it doesn't get there].
    Gorogoa is a great puzzle game, and it has a unique style, but it has a confusing story, and it has scenes so difficult / unlikely to call that you just keep trying like crazy to get through, after all you is not so rewarded for his career.

    It's beautiful to look at and some of the puzzles are very clever but it's just not much fun since it's largely trial and error. It's also over pretty quickly and the story won't stay with you since there isn't much of one.

    I think that this is truly a unique game and I would recommend that if you are a fan of this type of genre then I think you should give this game a try.

    Beautiful, but not very challenging. Inventive as there are a lot of gimmicks, but you kind of breeze through them, so it is also pretty short. It is a rare thing to see innovation in adventure games, so definitely pick this up if you are interested

    EXTREMELY short, but very good. It would get a 9 or a 10 if it weren't that short; I mean you can't believe how short it is, it literally takes a couple of hours.

    Gorogoa es un jueguito corto y simplemente precioso, en el que al explorar imagenes vamos resolviendo puzzles que tienen que ver con cosas como la perspectiva, el modo en que las cosas conectan y demás. Es más difícil explicarlo que verlo en funcionamiento, y a veces es un poco caótico saber qué tienes que hacer, pero el resultado cuando exploras las imagenes y consigues que algo encaje yGorogoa es un jueguito corto y simplemente precioso, en el que al explorar imagenes vamos resolviendo puzzles que tienen que ver con cosas como la perspectiva, el modo en que las cosas conectan y demás. Es más difícil explicarlo que verlo en funcionamiento, y a veces es un poco caótico saber qué tienes que hacer, pero el resultado cuando exploras las imagenes y consigues que algo encaje y por tanto todo cambie, o que de pronto al girar algo unas imagenes nuevas se muestran, es un efecto que vale la pena vivir.

    Por ello, es un juego que probablemente no le cambie la vida a nadie, pero que invita a pensar de modo lateral y pasar unas pocas horas muy entretenido viendo cómo se desarrollan los eventos y cómo cambian las cosas.    … Expand

    This is what makes puzzle games good. The game is not too hard like the witness or not to easy like every other game that includes puzzles for no reason. This game has its own pace and some clever clue's that make lets you know what to do while coming up with it yourself. Its not as good as like to say call of the sea but its up there.

    Besides that the artstyle is great and story kinda weird still have no idea what in the F went on but its a decent game and sure worth your few hours of playing it. Best part is is that its in gamepass so money lost on trying.    … Expand

    You will be hard-pressed to find a puzzling game more beautifully crafted as Gorogoa. Everything from its music to the hand-drawn puzzle frames ignites the imagination to keep search and digging for more. Even with its short length, Gorogoa is a satisfying game. It is also an exercise in asking questions about our own devotion and the lengths that we might go to in order to connect with the divine.
