    Beautiful game. Feels like watching one of those movies wherw you just feel great at the end, like life is wonderful. Absolutely lovely. I open they make a sequel.
    It's wonderful for all ages. The gameplay is super fun, the puzzles are challenging enough. I really recommend this game.

    I had seen Epic Games sharing this game on their FB page and decided to give it a try.

    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.

    -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.    … Expand

    This is an enjoyable artistic escape from everyday troubles.

    The puzzles are mostly straightforward and easy, which is especially good for those who are not puzzle game aces but still enjoy casually playing. The platforms themselves are also not particularly challenging, allowing for the story to progress at a decent pace for anyone who doesn't have a lot of free time.

    Story-wise, I'd say that's the actual biggest puzzle of all. I wish I had a bit more to hang on to, but I guess the idea really is to have multiple interpretations of everything.

    The characters are super cute and it's a joy to explore this world in their company.    … Expand

    The game plays like a beautiful painting from beginning to end. The story is very open to interpretation, but I think that is a bonus.
    Also, a lot of people talk about the game's length, but the price is fair for it and I consider it a gift that that are still games that can be fully enjoyed without having to invest hundreds of hours of what is one's already busy life.

    Gorgeous and with a lovely detail, Out of Line is a game that will leave you wanting more.

    The platforming is at the right level of challenge and it does have an intriguing story that leaves you guessing.

    I highly recommend this game if you're looking for a casual and heartfelt time.

    A great looking game with a captivating style and a wonderful soundtrack.

    The way the game made me learn how to use the spear and it's many uses, it's one of the reasons why I enjoyed Out of Line so much.

    Overall had a great time playing, really recommend.

    Charming game, with a more charming character.
    The art is delicious, definitely stole the scene with that hand-drawn style.
    Also love the mix between nature and machinery (maybe it's some kind of allusion of the power of technology over nature, and machinery impact on the world)
    It's an easy ride, good to escape reality for a moment and enjoy the game.
    Definitely a thumbs up

    A wonderfull experience that's visually appealing and filled with well balanced puzzles, enjoyable mechanics and an interesting story, but unfortunatelly gets crutched by the lenght of the game.

    Hearing the claw screaming in anger is really amazing, the art and music and audio are really something special.

    I really like this game! It´s an awesome take on the puzzle- platformer genre.
    The balance between environment and character is so well done! The soundtrack and sound design really takes you in.
    Love the spear mechanic! Wish I can see this type of mechanics in more games!

    Nerd Monkeys’ mix of an adventure game, a platformer and a puzzle game won’t surprise you with any new ideas and won’t get stuck in your head. It looks good though and thanks to its low difficulty level and lack of violence it could have been a great family game, but sadly it doesn’t offer co-op. [09/2021, p.60]

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

    Out of Line is doubtless a polished experience, and an enjoyable one. It’s fun to get lost in the beautiful visuals, and the puzzles strike the right balance between challenging and unfair. Still, the vague story may prove frustrating for some, and the other characters do feel a little under-utilised. Nevertheless, it’s a game that will likely keep you entertained for its modest run time.
