    Selma and the Wisp is a beautiful, nightmarish puzzleplatformer. While it’s a little on the short side it’s still a great game worth experiencing.

    Selma and the Wisp has an interesting premise, having you control a character who, in turn, leads another character. Unfortunately, the indirect playstyle leads to frustration in hazardous areas as you are forced to escort a girl and hope she doesn’t die by accident. At least it’s a short adventure, with ten levels that only run about two or three hours, for those curious to try it out. The idea of this “guiding light simulator” remains intriguing, but the experience is hard to fully recommend.

    Selma and the Wisp is boring, poorly-designed, and no fun at all to play, but it is at least quite short.

    If you’re looking for a nightmarish title with eerie environments, nail-biting and butt-clenching moments of suspense, then you’re betting off looking at Limbo or Little Nightmares. Selma and the Wisp gets dull very quickly.

    I picked this up on sale for £1, can’t go wrong. Perfect for 2h on the train. Selma dies A LOT. She’s afraid of everything, leave her aloneI picked this up on sale for £1, can’t go wrong. Perfect for 2h on the train. Selma dies A LOT. She’s afraid of everything, leave her alone for a few seconds and she dies of fear, something scares her - she dies, everything has it out for her, so she dies a lot - fire, water, clowns, the hand of god. She’s just a ball of anxiety. But she’s also brave and keeps going - leaps up and down obstacles as long as the wisp is guiding her.

    9/10 at £1. If it’s on sale - go pick it up.    … Expand
