    It's weird, creative, clever, and above all: an absolute joy to play! I'm still not quite sure how to describe BarnaqueJeux' & NakanaGames' puzzleplatformer. #Infini changes your perspective not only literally, but also figuratively. If you wanna be challenged, look no further!

    My initial impression was very positive. The story tells about a person called Hope, who is in Infinity, an abstractly odd universe where everything seems to be in endless loops. He wants to find the way out of Infinity and seeks help from his friends Time, Poetry, Technology, but also has to encounter War and Fatality. For me this all is more like a human mind as a whole, put in visualMy initial impression was very positive. The story tells about a person called Hope, who is in Infinity, an abstractly odd universe where everything seems to be in endless loops. He wants to find the way out of Infinity and seeks help from his friends Time, Poetry, Technology, but also has to encounter War and Fatality. For me this all is more like a human mind as a whole, put in visual form, meeting with external feelings like reality, time and space.

    Gameplay is mind-bending and it takes a while getting used to the very unique style of… basically everything player has to do—or look at. The weirdness is endless, but yet it all makes so much sense. The world of Infini reminds me of our dreams, where we think all makes sense and nothing is weird, even when we dream the most impossible things at the most odd surroundings.

    The puzzles sometimes got me, though. I got stuck few of them and towards end they becomes even more crazier and ingenious. Making sure players will have to bend their minds every 4 dimensions and think outside of the box. This is also the reason why diffculty sometimes gets out of hand and a way too out there. Some puzzles were such a pain to solve.

    Infini is one of my favourite indie games of the crazy year of 2020. I really liked the story and the main character Hope. Even if the gameplay and art style looks like it was made under the influence of heavy hallucinogens, the game overall is very understandable and relatable.
    It dives into the world of complex human emotions and thoughts—which likely we all have struggled in life—realizing it fully visually and with unique puzzles. I truly recommend Infini for all of you puzzle gamers.    … Expand

    Infini is an interesting experience that really held my attention for a good amount of time. It's a great experiment in game design with some interesting ideas and unique themes.

    Very unusual game, but fun and puzzling at the same time. Definitely good if you like hard puzzle games with a twist.

    On first sight it seems really crappy, but it is actually a really original puzzler with an interestingly deep story, which is weird.at the same time. If you get deeper in the game you grow in respecting the much work that went in to it. Don't be fooled by its looks. It's really good!

    It is a very good game. It's challenging at times, but not impossible, and when you finally figure out a puzzle that stumps you, it makes you love the game even more. At least, I did. I think it is a very cool and interesting game, and I love it.

    Infini rewards those who can accept its oddities. The story and presentation aren't going to be accepted by the masses, but if you're up for something that you likely haven't seen before and want to try out some atypical puzzles, give Infini a shot.

    The unappealing art direction makes studying screens for an escape all the more unpleasant. The bonkers plot feels like it’s trying too hard to be profound and winds up being more confusing than anything else. Infini definitely has some things going for it, but after traversing several, maddening layers into insanity, players may not want to endure the hardships that come with that potential.

    The word puzzler doesn't do Infini justice. It's definitely not for everyone, but I'd say that it's a game that everyone needs to try at least once. Very rarely do the mechanics in puzzle games surprise me, and I think Infini's are well worth exploring, even if you only have a vague interest in puzzlers.
