    The lack of difficulty and lack of evolution in the gameplay mechanics are an issue, but they don’t diminish the overall appeal of Out of Line, though they do hold it back from being something truly special. I savored exploring San’s forsaken habitat and eagerly awaited what lied around the next corner. The gameplay can’t match the lofty bar set by the presentation, but Out of Line remains a visual and atmospheric triumph.

    Out of Line doesn’t break the mold of adventure games but still manages to offer a straightforward puzzle experience through a gorgeous hand-painted world. There’s fun to found during each movement of gameplay, but the lack of challenge and the minimalistic narrative doesn’t make for an engaging time. It’s a low-impact puzzle adventure that could easily be enjoyed for a nice afternoon game session.

    Out of Line is a good little puzzle platformer that will last you approximately 2-3 hours. It flows nicely but some may find the puzzles a touch too easy to solve. The artwork and music are great but the story remains unclear, with the ending just leaving you with more questions.

    I think that the impression of the game would have been better if the message of the story had been defined a little more clearly. Nevertheless, the style of the game exerted a certain charm on me and I think that other players can do the same.

    Out of Line provides a fun evening of relaxing scenery, decent puzzles, and exciting set-pieces, and while its length and ease may turn off some would-be players, it's still worth a look for fans of the genre and of artistic innovation in gaming.

    Out of Line features striking art direction but it is another puzzle adventure game that, obviously, doesn't change the formula.

    PROS:
    -It is an amazing looking game that's for sure. The fact that it looks like a surrealistic painting distinguishes it from many of the genre. Even the visual effects complement its surrealistic look.
    -The mechanics are quite captivating. After playing the first few minutes, I was a bit afraid that the mechanics would be re-used over and over again. To my heart's content, the mechanics evolve and you can do a lot more with your spear than just sticking it into stuff.

    CONS:
    -I'd love for the game to be a bit longer. Nevertheless it has a fair price/content relationship.

    Also there is no dialogue nor text in the game(besides the menus). Some players may feel a bit lost story-wise but it leaves an open room for interpretation which is a different approach from most games.    … Full Review »
