Oct 24, 2024Wilmot Works It Out is a wonderful example of cosy gaming done right, with colourful puzzles to solve and a whole lot of charm to boot.

Oct 23, 2024I had a really good time playing Wilmot Works It Out. As someone who likes doing puzzles, I admired this new take on puzzle solving. I also liked the little touches that made the game feel even more significant, like chatting with Sam the post deliverer, as well as unlocking new rooms and decorating them. It's easy to get addicted to a game like this. I would love to see more of Wilmot Works It Out, maybe with future DLC or seasonal additions such as Christmas? This is definitely a game to get if you want to play something easy-going and chilled out, yet with opportunities to challenge yourself.

Nov 4, 2024It’s a game to be picked at with a sense of leisurely satisfaction, as if working loose a complicated knot. The effect is gently soothing, in the way of a jigsaw, but, when it comes to arranging your artworks, a little more scope for creative flair.

Oct 23, 2024Wilmot's gentle and relaxing jigsaw puzzles won't tax you in the slightest, but this warm bubble bath of a game is very soothing, and it weaves a surprising tale of companionship and found friends around the edges.

Oct 23, 2024We really like the premise of Wilmot Works It Out, and don’t mind a shorter experience! But the game really only hits its stride in the final chapters, leaving us wishing it expanded its later offerings at least a bit. Still, it’s charming, and if you want to really dig into the Marathon post-game, it could be worth checking out.

Oct 23, 2024Some might end up thinking that this game gets repetitive after a while — because, well, it does. But in my view, that’s the point. It’s a predictable, comforting game that’s kept interesting by the silly overarching storyline involving Postwoman Sam and her oversharing with Wilmot, and the puzzles do seem to get more challenging as the game progresses. If you like A Little to the Left, Wilmot Works it Out is a must-play that’ll keep you busy until it doesn’t. And at that point, take a break and return when you’re ready for a nice solved-puzzle dopamine hit once again.

Oct 23, 2024At the end of it all, my decisions in Wilmot's house felt less meaningful, less driven by my internal ideas about the world, less personal, and less rewarding than in our last meeting. It's a quieter game, about turning down the knob in your brain that says "categorise". That makes it both more chill as a task and less interesting as a game. If the Warehouse is a strong mug of hot coffee, Works It Out is a delicate cup of jasmine tea. Both are comforting, but I find one more stimulating than the other.
