    If the final mechanic had been the core mechanic the entire way through, perhaps Anodyne would be worth the time investment it asks of you. Hopefully some of the lessons learned making it will be applied for its upcoming sequel, and the small bits of potential it does have can shine.

    Anodyne is a strange sort of game. I like the fact that it is quite easy and forgiving with the focus being more on exploration rather thanAnodyne is a strange sort of game. I like the fact that it is quite easy and forgiving with the focus being more on exploration rather than combat or platforming. The game world is quite simple and the levels all have a distinct feel to them thanks to the very unique and atmospheric music. There are some nice moments in this game, and the conversations you have with other characters are designed to make you think, but when I finally finished the game after almost 10 hours of play, I was a bit underwhelmed by the unclear ending. I still enjoyed my time playing Anodyne. Full Review »
