    Carto is a brilliantly simple puzzle game about literally moving the world to help those in need, all the while making a few friends as you try to make it back home.

    While its intriguing concept is slightly let down by simple puzzles and empty maps, Carto still offers a weekend’s worth of cosy fun for players of all ages. [Issue#182, p.154]

    The map-moving puzzles are only part of the appeal. A real strength of Carto is its cast of NPCs, written with real warmth and charm. The world they inhabit is also surprisingly well fleshed out, even though you can breeze through it in six or seven hours. This is a puzzle game, but it also tells a sweet, worthwhile tale about tradition and companionship. Combined with lovely visuals and chilled out music, this is a refreshing, relaxing game that's worth marking on your map.

The story is simple but cute, main character is very likeable even while not speaking and the art style is perfect for this kind of game. I would recommend this game for players looking for a peaceful exploration game, a short game or even for someone looking for an interesting game for children. Full Review »
