    How can this even be considered a "game"? It tries so hard to be mysterious and edgy that it forgets to be fun and engaging.

    For example, there is one section near the beginning in which you just drag lines onto another line for several minutes. I'm not joking. No fail state, no context, no enjoyment. Just moving white lines on a black background. "But it's artistic!" - the game    How can this even be considered a "game"?

    "But it's artistic!" - the game Journey was artistic AND fun, same with countless others. Whereas Arrog is just cheap and soulless.    … Expand

    This was short, but till it lasted it was sweet! I recommend to any artful soul to just sit back, max the volume and enjoy Arrog. It may not provide any satisfactory ending, but with its price there isn’t a better escape for you in these troubled times.

    Sure, it's a tricky one to review and recommend 'as a videogame' because it's not strictly one per se. It can have the descriptive, but it is also a bit more artsy, more personal, more meditative. It almost seems like it'd be perfect for a rainy Sunday morning with nothing else going on to just soak in. Definitely there is room for a lot more for this kind of thing to be incorporated into the medium and it'd be nice to see it become more of a norm rather than an exception, but it does stand out for that reason. Admittedly, it will likely appeal to a certain kind of person, one that is more contemplative, but it is also worth the price of admission to find out if thee is that certain kind of person.

    Ultimately, this is an artistic game first and foremost, and the puzzles are the medium in which players participate in the story. It is bittersweet and real, rooted in cultural significance. I fully expect this game to be snapped up by trophy collectors looking for an easy platinum, but I sincerely hope that everyone who purchases Arrog appreciates the experience as much as I. If you have a few dollars burning a hole in your PSN wallet, consider using them to pick up Arrog. I really want to see more from Hermanos Magia in the future.

    Arrog is refreshing in its approach and themes, and is a visual marvel for its short length. Is it for everyone? Certainly not, but it achieves what it sets out to do, and has a genuine impact that most games can't lay claim to.
