    The Liar Princess and the Blind prince is beyond charming. A game of average gameplay but superb art style and story, ultimately delivers an extraordinary, fairytale-ish experience that is hard to forget, and even harder not to love.

    Nippon Ichi Software tells the story of a prince and a princess with this dark fairy tale and its ingenious and varied mechanics. It is not perfect, but it is a highly recommended experience that you will love.

    This adventure game with light puzzles is well worth your time if you enjoy fairy tale aesthetics and stories. I adored the art and music and the only real flaw with this game is the few minor performance issues with Switch version. The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince is a charming storybook tale and I can’t wait to see the next release from NIS’ smaller team.

    The brief length can make it feel a little less ambitious, but I can't say I was let down by this whimsical short story of a video game. Lovely art, a cute story, and solid puzzle platforming help make The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince a pleasant ride.

    The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince continues Nippon Ichi Software’s tradition of visually compelling games that sadly feel a little lacking in the gameplay department. This adventure of a wolf in human form leading a delicate prince through a dangerous forest could have benefitted from a deep level of puzzles and polish—and yet, in the end, it may still win you over due to its style and sentiment.

    It still felt right even though I was very conscious of it as a hodgepodge of influences.
    Gameplay - puzzles and platforming get moderately challenging and the final boss is decent too.
    Aesthetics - Pretty and a good soundtrack.
    If you like puzzle-platformer games and fairy tales, I highly recommend this.    … Full Review »
