    Today is a day to enjoy a great adventure. The users of consoles have been dismissed very fortunate to be able to go to the end of the work of Teku Studios. Work that combines the best of the classic graphic adventures of the years with more action and more contemporary studies like Playdead or Amanita Design. An authentic jewel of those that do not abound and in which to get lost in these summer days.

    Visually charming puzzle platformer with challenging, but logical brainteasers and underutilized story-elements.

    Candle perfectly combines the genres of graphic adventure and platforms to bring us a wonderful adventure, with a magnificent audiovisual section and ingenious puzzles.

    The game-play is quite simple as you might expect from a puzzle game, you can move around the world, interact with objects and items, and use the power of the flame to progress.
    The puzzles themselves are also good, some are quite hard but (to me at least) not hard enough to become frustrating,
    I'd strongly suggest taking a look at it to any puzzle and/or adventure games fan.    … Full Review »

Gameplay is varied and, although sometimes a bit too cryptic "à la Machinarium", is fun to figure out and the solution to its puzzles is always satisfying.
    The spanish dubbed audio is top notch.    … Full Review »
