    Cute game but not worth the $15. The art style is charming at the start until your eyes are hurting from staring at a white screen for 2 hours. Hard to tell what was going on with the poorly optimized camera and blurry visuals. Story felt underdeveloped with no real stakes. Some parts were charming but not enough to leave a good taste in my mouth. Worth the journey with a friend on a strong sale.

    Blanc is a really enjoyable co-op game. With a great atmosphere and a really good soundtrack.

    Yet ANOTHER artsy-fartsy pointless Indie game with no challenge or excitement, à la "Journey" from the PS3 era, which seems to be the godfather of all modern dull and pointless indie games like this one.

Me and my sister were trying to enjoy ourselves by forcing laughter over how laggy and boring it was. I can't BELIEVE developers are still making these horrendous heaps of dull, boring trash. Every time the deer leaps, there's a frame where it freezes. And the camera movement is jittery and laggy...when you have almost NO gameplay to speak of, and you apparently want your game to come across as elegant and sentimental, you better at LEAST make sure the camera and character movements are fluid.… Expand

    On the whole, "Blanc" has become a good game. The plot with the two characters can please and the common approach is well done. Furthermore, a simple but pretty presentation is added. The sound can also convince well and sounds good. The two characters also have their own personal charm. However, the technology is not always good and also the camera work is just too annoying.

    A really cute co-op game that I really really liked! The visual style is some of the best in any game I've ever played, the music is amazing, and the story is incredibly emotional and heartwarming! I almost cried at points, it's genuinely really cool.

    Granted, the puzzles in this game aren't incredible. They're fine and fun enough for two people, but something like It Takes Two takes it's co-op concepts a little further. And I think the reason why is because of the main issue I have with this game. It's incredibly short. It released today and I'm already 100%ed it after about 3 hours. Now, granted the experience with playing with a friend of mine over discord was super fun and nice, and I think the replayability of that aspect will definitely help the game going forward, but I definitely wanted more out of this game.
    But despite it's fault, this is probably the definition of a comfort game. It's cute, it's gorgeous, it's fun, and it's short enough to breeze through with a buddy in one sitting. I, ironically, just feel super warm when playing this game.    … Expand

    If you have someone in your life that is looking for a cooperative game with a unique art style then I would say it’s worth checking out Blanc, just don’t expect a life-changing experience, but you can expect a cozy one.

    Blanc never truly lives up to its potential, but it is a good starting point for a potential sequel. There are simply too many missed opportunities with most aspects of the game. From the puzzle-solving to the story, more could have been done. That isn’t to say I completely disliked the experience, far from it. Just please remember to bring a friend along for the ride if you are willing to forgive any shortcomings.

    Blanc is a co-op game that focuses on puzzle resolution, but it falls short as it offers very shallow challenges, too much repetition and extremely short duration.

    Blanc is certainly cozy, cute, and charming, and it deserves high marks for its aesthetics and ideas, but I can’t deny how frustrated I felt while playing it. There were some high moments where cub and fawn flew through the frozen fields, delicately criss-crossing darkened paths in an otherwise blinding white spendor, but they were often followed by whiplashed lows of missing actionable cues and odd technical difficulties.
