    The largest drawback to Monochroma was the repetition and simplicity of the game which makes it very boring to play. - See more at: http://cogconnected.com/review/monochroma-review/#sthash.ZHxCjDCL.dpuf

    Prior to that segment, I would have rated the game a solid 7.5 to 8.0. The premise is interesting, the graphics are very pleasing, the gameplay is above average with that 95% responsiveness, and the puzzles are fun but not insanely difficult to figure out.

    Please understand that i do not mind a challenging game,.....but stupidity in programming infuriates me. I game to have fun. Repeating the same impossible boss encounter 30+ times is not fun.
    Maybe next game Nowhere Studios. Please focus on quality control throughout the ENTIRE game.    … Full Review »
