    Explore several charmed locations on a mysterious island replete with over 55 creative puzzles. Over an approximately two-hour playing duration, you will face unique challenges, ponderous ideas, and feebly amusing in-jokes.

    The Looker is a single-player game that respects you as an intelligent player, and it treats your time as... reasonably valuable (I mean, don't let me pull you off solving the Riemann hypothesis or anything). As such, I will level with you here - not every joke will be a hit, but there is no filler material, the puzzles are fun, and, if you really think about it, aren't the real solutions the, uhh... friends we make along the way?

If you are playing this game expecting it to be the GOTY, I have no idea what you were thinking off when downloading it. Overall recommended, but only if you have completed The Witness first. Expand

    After a handful of tries, I quit in frustration. A puzzle games should be based on thinking and creativity, not pure luck.
    I have better thing to do than waste my time repeatedly attempting such a stupid puzzle: stopped and uninstalled.
    Too bad, since it seemed really well done. But getting stuck like this even in the first area, made me think "I have better games to spend my time with".
