    Super disappointed in this game. The art style and the setup seemed really interesting. However over the course of the game it began to feel more like a poor man's Braid. I don't like to compare games to other so directly but this felt like it was living in Braid's shadow a little too closely and it was all the worse for it. Most of the puzzles ended up being more a matter of keep pokingSuper disappointed in this game. The art style and the setup seemed really interesting.

I don't like to compare games to other so directly but this felt like it was living in Braid's shadow a little too closely and it was all the worse for it. Most of the puzzles ended up being more a matter of keep poking them until they were solved than me actually figuring them out and the storytelling just felt very lacking. A real shame.… Expand

    Довольно любопытная головоломка, способная всякому вскружить голову. В прямом смысле. Разработчики данной игры очевидно вдохновлялись работами Маурица Корнелиса Эшера, в которых предоставлены особенности психологического восприятия сложных трёхмерных объектов, а также добавили к этим особенностям различные загадки, связанные с восприятием гравитации.

Играется всё это весьма интересно и необычно, но недолго, и по мере возрастания сложности тех или иных загадок вырастает скорее ощущение фрустрации, чем удовольствия от игры.    … Expand

    Görsel bilmeceleri ile beyin yakan, baş döndüren ve "Yok artık!" dedirten bir oyundu. Çok keyif almıştım.

    No es mi tipo predilecto de juegos.

    JUGABILIDAD: Dejando de lado el pequeñísimo lag que tenemos al hacer girar la pantalla; la jugabilidad es demasiado lenta, hay algunos puzles en que debemos dar la vuelta completa al escenario en un sentido y luego en el inverso, y que puede tomarnos demasiado tiempo y paciencia por lo lentos que se mueven la cámara y el personaje.

    JUGABILIDAD:
    Dejando de lado el pequeñísimo lag que tenemos al hacer girar la pantalla; la jugabilidad es demasiado lenta, hay algunos puzles en que debemos dar la vuelta completa al escenario en un sentido y luego en el inverso, y que puede tomarnos demasiado tiempo y paciencia por lo lentos que se mueven la cámara y el personaje.

    Algo muy muy molesto es que, llegado cierto punto, el juego deja de tener lógica y la física por la que se regía cambia totalmente. En este tipo de juegos creo que lo más correcto es apegarse a la lógica que el programador desea, no cambiarla cada dos niveles. Pasa de ser un juego de puzle a un juego de adivinanza.

    El sistema que nos permite "Rebobinar" los niveles me parece mucho mejor decisión que el haber aplicado el típico Reset. Pero tampoco hace que pueda perdonar el resto de problemas jugables.

    La dificultad también está mal balanceada: tenemos algunos niveles muy fáciles y otros demasiado difíciles, indiscriminadamente del capitulo que juguemos.

    GRÁFICOS:
    El estilo de arte está bien, aunque tampoco podemos decir maravillas. El estilo de los niveles es decente pero inconsistente, como ya lo mencioné, algunos son demasiado difíciles mientras que otros tienen una solución obvia nada mas de verlos.

    SONIDO:
    En un principio la música se siente bastante bien, pero al poco tiempo descubrimos que peca de repetitiva. Por su parte, los efectos de sonido de los niveles son más bien carentes, y lo poco que hay es más molesto que algo digno de resaltar.    … Expand

    Decent puzzle game. Despite it's escheresque presentation, most of the puzzles are not nearly as convoluted as they may first appear: most solutions are pretty straight forward and the amount of lateral thinking required is pretty low. This sums up in a somewhat unappealing gameplay that would, by itself, make an sub-average puzzle game if it weren't for overall graphical appeal. The artDecent puzzle game.

This sums up in a somewhat unappealing gameplay that would, by itself, make an sub-average puzzle game if it weren't for overall graphical appeal. The art style is commendable and is perhaps the very reason I kept playing the game. On the technical side, the game often feels tedious due to the control's sluggishness (even on a high end gaming rig). Overall, don't expect a masterpiece but The Bridge can sure fill one evening or two if only to enjoy stepping in a sweet, grey Escher like universe.… Expand

    Prosta, a jednak klimatyczna, ciekawa logiczna gra. The Bridge pokazuje ciekawy rysowany motyw graficzny, oraz proste sterowanie które tak czy siak przekłada się na ciężkie zagadki.

    The Bridge surely deserves a try. Maybe it's not good as other recent puzzle games, but the attractive gameplay shows a good touch of genius in it. VIRTUALINN.IT

    This rating does not mean that the game is bad, as it is really interesting and unique. The art style is very simple and grey, but the idea behind the gameplay mechanics was cool.

The art style is very simple and grey, but the idea behind the gameplay mechanics was cool. It's just not my game at all... At the beginning, it was interesting and exciting for me to solve puzzles, but after some time it became boring and painful. Totally gray and nondescript background and colors did not add the joy for returning to the game. It can be said that I struggled through myself to return here for something interesting. And then the turn of the "mirror levels" comes, and all that small motivation goes away completely: now this is a test for the hands and speed, and not for the brain... well, or if you like, for everything at once. I came to this game not for a such mockery. For such things, I have other games in my game-list. In the end, my subjective opinion and my assessment is negative, since this game PERSONALLY did not bring me any pleasure. This 6 is only for getting respect to a some unique interesting concept.… Expand

    A puzzle game like monument valley in the sense that it's puzzles are based on impossible geometry. It is not done as well as monument valley in my opinion.

    Bridging the chasm between the subtle complexity of Braid and the abstract genius of Closure, fleshed out by the unique perspective of M.C. Escher. [April 2013]

    For a game that was created by just two students, it’s an accomplishment to be incredibly proud of and I know that I’ll be gifting a few of my friends this game throughout the year, even if it is only to drive them crazy with confusion too.

    A good idea + a pinch of genius = a refreshing game. [CD-Action 05/2013, p.72]
