    Beautiful beautiful game, one of the best games I have played in 2022. I was hesitant at first cause I do not care about photo mode in games but this was a very unique experience. Puzzles, collectibles, story, gameplay all fit together perfectly. It took me around around 5 hours to get the platinum and I loved every second of it.

    Sehr spaßiges und kleines Indie-Abenteuer, in dem man diverse Fotos machen muss, die einem aber auch etwas Grübelei abverlangen, in dem man erstmal die Rätsel verstehen muss, um zu wissen, was man eigentlich fotografieren soll. Nebenbei knipst man dann noch allerhand Tiere, die man findet.

    Mir hat es sehr viel Spaß gemacht.

    Great game all around, very original. I wish there had been more color, it would have added more emotion to some of the places, for my preference. But, that is a small detail in style. Everything was very enjoyable and entertaining.

    Toem is a short and sweet adventure game. Your goal is to complete quests by taking photographs and solving some light puzzles. The art style is a minimalist black and white aesthetic, with the interconnected environments and NPCs appearing to be hand-drawn. The story is a basic tale of voyage and return. On PS5 it runs at a smooth 60 fps and probably 4K. You can beat the game in 3 hoursToem is a short and sweet adventure game.

You can beat the game in 3 hours or so if you complete the minimum number of quests required in each area, but if you wanna 100% the game then add another hour or two. Overall it's a cute and relaxing, if unchallenging, game and I recommend it. Expand

    Innovative, fun and intriguing little game. It surprised me and shows that the latest graphics, convulated game mechanics and Hollywood storylines are not what makes a game fun.

    Спокойная, душевная игрушка с приятной музыкой. Геймплей строится вокруг фотографирования разных живностей и выполнения в этом плане квестов, и это действительно затягивает. Игра проходится за 5-7 часов, можно и ещё короче пройти, если не заглядывать в каждый уголок.Спокойная, душевная игрушка с приятной музыкой.

    Whoever thought photo mode could be so fun? This hits the spot when you are in the mood for a chill little indie!

    Absolutely amazing little indie gem here. Wish it had more variety in terms of locations, but even that feels like serious nitpicking because there is variety. Plenty. I just wish there was... more. Total throwback to imo a better time in gaming.

    Toem is one of, if not the most relaxing game I've played. It serves as a neat little adventure to boot up at the end of a hard day to let go of the stress and enjoy some pictures. Due to the small scope of the game, a rate of 8 is perfect for it, but I give it a 9 to raise its user score because people

    Un juego independiente que te transporta al verdadero mundo de la paz y la tranquilidad, simplemente coge tu cámara y avanza por las misiones, simplemente increíble.
    Tiene muy buenos gráficos y muy buena banda sonora.
    Además la expansión "Basto" se siente muy divertida con las nuevas mecánicas como los globos, misiones y secretos escondidos por la isla. Denle una oportunidad, no se

    This game is simply amazing. The design is really cute. The story is short and well written, as well as all the characters, it's impossible to don't like them. And the game is really relaxing, it's good to calm me down after being frustrated with a hard game.

    A small, short pleasant game, perfect fit to play after finishing some other bold/strong/heavy game.

    Que experiência única foi jogar esse jogo, que sensibilidade tiveram os desenvolvedores pra criar algo tão brilhante, cativante e lindo, uma verdadeira obra dos games. Um jogo delicioso, e uma platina fácil e gostosa de pegar, foi uma experiencia única, vou jogar a DLC Bastos em breve!

    A delightful indie experience with more charm and polish than any recent triple A titles. The core gameplay is fun and addictive while the puzzles are engaging and clever. Visually, the black-and-white color palette looks great while the phenomenal sound design further immerses you into Toem's concise world. As my first platinum, this amazing title has been great to delve into.

    Toem is just a delight. A thoughtful, creative, quirky, and entertaining game, it pulls you in with its art style and cast of characters that you will encounter. If you enjoy photo modes in other games, then you'll feel right at home here. There are many options and styles to add creativity to your photos and it can be fun to include them as you capture specific moments for each quest.Toem is just a delight.

    The music and dialog are fun and definitely worth taking the time to take it all in. I really enjoyed this little game and it truly is a hidden gem. Hopefully you give it a chance!

    Toem is a frequent delight with a wonderful photo mechanic and excellent music. Just a shame it's not longer. It's pretty great though. Get to it.

    Each area, from a forest dwelling to the city to a seaside port, is friendly and fun to explore. Even ghosts just require a little help to move on.2 Conflict comes in the form of problems that everyone is happy to collaborate on fixing. Solutions usually involve your camera in unusual ways, such as directing a lighthouse with your zoom during a storm. It’s a journey you’ll remember, and by the end, you’ll have a camera roll full of memories to look back at. [Issue#7, p.78]

    It may be short, but TOEM delivers heart by the truckload. This gorgeous hand-drawn adventure will have you fully invested in its quaint little world, taking photos of everything you see – whether it’s for a mission or just for the sheer joy of it. It’s the sort of game that makes the world seem like a better place – even if only for a few hours.
