    As I said up, though: good unique? Bad unique? Even after finishing it, I’m still not sure. Still, leaving me feeling so uncertain must be a sign Heal is doing something right, and for that reason, I’d probably recommend puzzle fans check it out.

    Heal is the sort of classy title that we've come to expect from Jesse Makkonen and it offers an afternoon's worth of gentle puzzling and some stylish atmospherics. It's not quite up there with his Distraint games but Heal is a likeable taste of what this talented developer is capable of.

    Simply fantastic!!!

    Heal Console edition is from the same makes who brought you the Distraint series and both of those games where great!    Simply fantastic!!!

    Heal Console edition is from the same makes who brought you the Distraint series and both of those games where great! Heal does not disappoint at all. You play as a elderly gentleman who is suffering from dementia.

    The game does not require much skill in the way of controlling your character but it does rely heavily on puzzles. You start each level with the elderly gentleman moving back and forth across the screen until you come across something that will highlight above. This is were the Puzzles start. Some are easy and you will be thinking, there's nothing to this until you get to the harder ones.

    The game does offer a slight hint if you want to call it that in the way of something getting highlighted or a dark shadow walking across the screen. The visual art does have its resemblance to the Distraint series with its artistic dark vibe which really stands out on this game.

    I really enjoyed every part of this game from start to finish. It consisted of 7 levels that all contain a fantastic soundtrack. The game took me approximately 3 hours to finish and once again, I really enjoyed this one!

    You must play this game!!!    … Expand

    It is a puzzle game, not necessarily a PS5 game, I guess you could play it on a 2008 smart phone.
    Anyway, if you play games for entertainment and are not too worried about graphics and maximization o computing power, and you like puzzle solving, this game is alright. 6.99 on the ps store. It has a platinum if you are a trophy hunter.    … Expand
