Scarf Reviews
SCARF is a singer without a voice and a dancer without legs. There were tons of things that could have been great within it, but none of them were capitalised on, and it felt like there weren't enough resources spent on where it mattered.
Scarf is a nice if not particularly original idea, disappointingly executed on almost all fronts.
The game Scarf consists of a colorful, soft world held together by the adventurous story and the relationship between two different creatures. The blue creature and other creatures occasionally seem to float above the ground instead of walking. In addition, the puzzles become too repetitive at some point. However, if you are looking for a light and colorful game where you are sucked into the story, then Scarf is the game you want to play.

Scarf is a short and sweet visual journey with some technical problems and little difficulty.
Scarf is a likeable and charismatic adventure, but it fails to stand out enough to deserve a major dedication of our time. The puzzles are creative, the platforming gameplay is minimally satisfying, and the art direction manages to convey positive feelings. However, once completed, this is a journey that is easily forgotten.

Scarf has the pieces to be laid back and enjoyable platformer. It may get repetitious at times, but never fully frustrating. Hardcore fans of both platforming and puzzles will find a jewel in Scarf.
While it’s not pushing the genre any further forward, Scarf is a perfectly pleasant way to spend 6 hours of your life. As a non-combative puzzle platformer, it lacks originality. Thankfully, a clever two sided narrative carries the game as it tells both sides of a tale and positions the player in the centre. Just make sure you play this game with a guide so you don’t have to replay whole levels again.
Scarf does not add anything new to its genre, but the simple mechanics and stunning visuals make this short and relaxing experience enjoyable. However, the controls and puzzles could have been better.

Scarf is a good game, but not one that left an impression. I played it, enjoyed it while it lasted, but once I was done with it, all I could think about is that I would have enjoyed it a lot more three years ago, back when it was first announced, and back when 3D indie plaftormers were still a niche, a breath of fresh air in the market.
The problem is that Scarf doesn’t deliver on the platforming side and, unlike the fantastic Journey, Scarf never reaches that satisfying conclusion where all those small introspective and grand sweeping moments add up to a crescendo that sticks with you even after you stop playing. Instead, Scarf falls a little flat and, while there is a lot of fun to be had, it doesn’t quite stand up to those games that inspired it.
Aside from the shortage of optimization, the short game time and the price, which I found a little high accordingly; Scarf was a game that I thought could be played at least twice with good storytelling and nice puzzles, albeit in small numbers.

A simple, yet enjoyable puzzle platformer, Scarf is a beautiful title that plays around with the tried and true tale of the hero defeating evil.
Scarf doesn't brave new platforming territory, but platforming newbies will appreciate its forgiving nature, and it tells an interesting and often dark story in an engaging way.
Scarf offers a short and sweet platforming experience. It's perfectly enjoyable to play, but you'll likely be left wanting more when the credits roll.
Scarf doesn't try to reinvent anything, but its pace, its art direction and its world are calming, welcoming and entertaining.

A narrative adventure that succeeds in a truly remarkable feat: inserting good and not repetitive environmental puzzles into the adventure while keeping the experience simple and approachable. A simple but solid game, not too long and not too short, that only fails in not being able to best tell its story. SCARF remains a product that will make you spend 4-5 pleasant hours, and it's enough.

Scarf certainly is an enjoyable experience; its combination of engaging story and strong environments are enough to keep the player absorbed for its four hour campaign. But due to its commonplace gameplay, it doesn't do enough to make it a true standout in the genre. But regardless of its issues, Scarf is for those wanting a leisurely and fantastical escape from the troubles of the world; something we could all use from time to time.
Scarf is an enjoyable albeit short 3D puzzle platformer with tons of heart. It’s the perfect game for those who want to get their feet wet in the genre or just want to get through something in one sitting.
SCARF is a fun 3D platform game where we will get into the shoes of a hero and his magic scarf with the aim of recovering the various souls that are scattered throughout the different worlds. With a proposal very similar to Rime and a more than remarkable artistic section, SCARF will invite us to delve into Hyke's adventure.

Scarf is a beautiful puzzle-platformer that packs a lot of meaning in a small package, but only to those willing to explore all of its gorgeous locales.
