    The mechanics, environments, and art design are imaginative and beautifully realized, but the gameplay fails to keep the player entertained and intrigued for very long. Collecting all the dolls, finding all the solutions, and completing all the hi-jinks may be enough for some, but will easily bore others.

    Quite a surprise. I was expecting a lame indie conceptual game but I got an original and surely well-tuned adventure instead. There's lots of things to do, and the graphics are really interesting.

    I have always loved Double Fine since Psychonauts... but I really didn't enjoy this game. I can tell it's a really well done puzzle game - unique, innovative, and tricky in certain parts . I just didn't have fun playing it. It may be because puzzle games aren't exactly my cup of tea, but it still didn't do much to try and grab my attention.

    Stacking is an intelligent and charming puzzle game with adventure elements. It has semi-open-ended solutions - not entirely dissimilar to deus ex. The visuals are charming except for the framerate which is capped at 30fps - this causes me to experience eye strain.

    An amazing game to play while you're sick just the most comfortable thing you can play.

    The game is about family and getting your family back which is very fun when you have to go inside all the people and control them to get what you want in a not creepy way, of course. This is a very fun and sincere game. One of the things I liked was that there were hints on all of the puzzles.

    One of the things I liked was that there were hints on all of the puzzles. So every time I got stuck I could look op what to do .

    The game still looks amazing the art style hopes up so well and the sound effects and music are just kind of there, but it is very nice to look at.    … Expand

    Effortlessly enchanting, deviously creative and stacks of inventive puzzle solutions make this a game worth getting into.

    Well-designed, brimming with beautiful and intelligent puzzles, a simple yet smoothed-out plot and of course, Tim's wackiness. [June 2012]

    Stacking is a great "sandbox" game for kids and adults alike. It tests your patience rather than wit, though, and after defeating The Baron, there is no reason to come back to it.
