    A quirky action/adventure with engaging puzzle elements. Art style is filled with humor and surrealism. The original songs and music were fun and contributed a lot to the atmosphere. At times, the voice acting falls flat, and in certain parts, the sound editing made for some weird overlaps. I found the story to be a tad predictable, so the emotional payoff wasn't as impactful as I imagineA quirky action/adventure with engaging puzzle elements.

    The history is great. Graphics and music are wonderful. The level design is perfect. However, on the other hand, The loading screens betweens areas are incomprehensibly long considering the graphics and the power of the console. Controls are a bit rought. During the game I found a few important bugs and a log out. The duration of the game is neither a strong point, it's about seven hours.The history is great. Graphics and music are wonderful.

    Following a traumatic event nightmarish creatures begin to take over the mind of an unknown victim, and it is up to Dusty and Piper to try to restore peace.

    Nice game, with nice music and for the most part strong voice acting considering the voice actors presumably don't speak English as their first language. It's an interesting premise but I thought it could have been done better, it comes across a tiny bit cringey in places.

It's an interesting premise but I thought it could have been done better, it comes across a tiny bit cringey in places. Similarly the game presents itself more like a children's adventure puzzle platformer, but then throws swearing and adult themes which left me slightly confused as to who exactly the target demographic for this game was intended to be. There are some very annoying frame rate issues that really need addressing, which come later in the game. They spoiled the gameplay towards the end when the difficulty ramps up slightly. Most of the difficulty for me came from the unpredictable frame rate.

    That said I enjoyed my time playing this game and for £1.97 on sale I certainly feel like I got my money's worth.    … Expand

    I've been enjoying this game until one specific level when it really slowed downed (FPS) horribly.

    Great story. Beautiful graphic and fun music. The only problem I have with this game is the control. It's quiet frustrating and that kind of ruined my gaming experience. I wouldn't buy this game in full price. Got it when it was on sales but still not quite sure if I like it that much.

    figment is a pretty good game when it comes to music, design, concept and puzzles. unfortunately, it lacks in combat and its story is very short and simple. although, it is a great experience for a low cost.

    A small genre game with distinctive style and clever idea, the main gameplay is a puzzle adventure with simple combat mechanics. I think the stage design of the first boss city and the boss battle are the best. It combines puzzle solving with simple combat elements ingenuously.

I think the stage design of the first boss city and the boss battle are the best. It combines puzzle solving with simple combat elements ingenuously. The stage design of the last boss city is a bit disgusting. I don't know why it seems when designing the stages with the box, the puzzle gameplay will lose its "spirituality" and look "bloated", and there are some bugs in the design, but fortunately I found a blunt and ugly way to pass it. the final boss battle reminds me of The design of the second boss battle of “Metroid: Survival” , of course, its boss is not so "perverted" (meaning the attack form is variable, the difficulty is stepped up, and the fault tolerance rate is low), but its combat system can't keep up with... It causes a little bit clumsy, and it's a pity that it didn't design puzzle solving, which lost the unique fun of puzzle games. In short, the final boss battle was a bit suffocating, and there was no satisfaction after defeating the enemy. (An afternoon to clear the game. The screen of this game seems to have certain requirements for GPU, playing with the switch will heat up and drop frames...… Expand

    In the long run, I imagine it’ll be those nightmarish enemies I remember about Figment, not the so-so puzzles and combat. As a game, I could basically take Figment or leave it. But as an experience — as a surreal musical that explores some pretty dark places — Figment is definitely different than almost anything else out there.

    Figment is an adventure game that proposes something unusual but not any less topical and relevant: how to deal with depression. With that in mind, the game presents a series of very attractive-looking hand-drawn sets that come to life during the game and a dynamic soundtrack that follows the players during the puzzle-solving duties. While the game's combats feel too simple and the puzzles are somewhat repetitive, this is without a doubt a very good approach to a complex theme and which will appeal to fans of adventure and puzzle games alike.

    Even with its simplicity, Figment is a good game that becomes an excellent recommendation to children or young adults. With its beautiful visuals and fairy-tale like storytelling, it is a great combination that makes its public smile.
