    A beautifully relaxed puzzle adventure hat is held back by some technical shortcomings and sluggish controls.

    All in all, Elli is a cute, fun, and semi-challenging puzzle platformer, full of variation and surprise to keep your interest through its journey.

    Elli is a 3d platformer and puzzle game where you traverse through environments in order to collect crystals.
    To start with story. I found it    Elli is a 3d platformer and puzzle game where you traverse through environments in order to collect crystals.
    To start with story. I found it unoriginal and frankly, poorly executed. The characters I felt little towards so therefore didn't overly care despite the lack of originality.
    The game is mostly puzzle solving and some platforming elements. For what they do it is done well. I like the gradual complexity of puzzles and mechanics you need to use to progress. Nearly everything made sense when you think about it. Some might find it too easy but it's not simple. The platforming, Elli feels fine to control and the jump is pretty good. The issue raises where there is some tight platforming and with a fixed camera it may cause falls. The good news is the checkpoints are very well placed to accommodate for this.
    The game is very linear in progression with no backtracking, so the levels or puzzles wont combine to a large overarching world and hence hinders the story in some way. There is no combat nor enemies, making the game feels empty. With combat and a more open interconnected world this could be amazing!
    The game is quite relaxing in which I need right now. Having music to keep ambience is fine but don't expect to remember it once you log off.
    The art style I am into and graphics are... OK but I found the Switch has minor issues in playing the game.
    For what the game offers is really good if you want platforming and puzzling, but I cannot help but feel if they added a few elements to make this game more complete.    … Full Review »
