Gorogoa Reviews
Gorogoa is a truly mesmerising experience from start to finish whose greatest sin is that it’s all over far too quickly. Your short time spent with the game, however, will take you on a truly memorable journey unlike any other. Beautiful, ingenious and full of mystery, Gorogoa is a game I simply couldn’t put down and one I’m eager to return to again even if just to bask in the magnificent world Jason Roberts has handcrafted one more time.
I fell in love with Gorogoa from the moment I moved one drawing over another to create a doorway for the character to move to a new location. The puzzles get harder, but the way you solve them is always wonderful.
Gorogoa is a remarkable puzzle experience, it presents an engaging story in such a fresh way.
It's impossible to describe Gorogoa in words. All the sentimentality and complete harmony in all of its elements, together with an innovative gameplay, make this a unique game that will hardly be replicated.

Gorogoa was a very pleasant surprise for me. Usually, I don't really like puzzle games but this one, I really enjoyed. It invites you to play with the puzzles and to find out how they work - just at it should be. Due to its design, Gorogoa is a piece of art that you should add to your collection.

While the short length is somewhat disappointing, Gorogoa is still a breathtaking experience. The gorgeous art and engaging puzzles fuse together for something otherworldly. I don't know if I'll revisit Gorogoa, except to maybe show friends, but the focused, impressive design will stick with me for a long time.
It takes someone quite extraordinary to see the world in such a way to connect images like Roberts does in Gorogoa, and for that alone I'm glad I've been privy to it. It'll stick with me as a piece of art to admire, but not as a video game to enjoy.
Gorogoa is quaint, expressive and beautiful, delivering a lush narrative full of different potential interpretations carried by game mechanics which challenge players to think in unfamiliar and creative ways.
Gorogoa is essentially an experience that might be short, but it is full of surprises at every corner as you manage to figure out some of the more complicated puzzles.
Gorogoa is a tremendously designed puzzle experience that rewards creative, out-of-the-box thinking. Though there were a few, rare moments where frustration blemished the ride, the game is so authentically unique, beautifully illustrated and wonderfully scored, that it's impossible to not be enamoured by its potent, singular vision.
Gorogoa seems is a bit under appreciated thanks to a release date close to the new year. But its a great puzzle game and one of the best indie games of 2017 and for everyone looking for a new experience, it's a short but a satisfying journey.

Gorogoa is a rare example of a game that's unique in form and interesting in content. It's a short (just a couple of hours) game, but with very rich and touching story, really interesting puzzles, and stunning visuals.

The success of Jason and its game has an important lesson for us. Gorogoa shows how a work of art, no matter how small and on low on budget, would please critics and gamers if it has a high quality. This actually could encourage other indie developers to overcome their fear making video games.

There’s a rare, beautiful harmony between how you play Gorogoa, how it tells its story, and the lesson it seems to be imparting.
While Gorogoa is one of this year's shortest experiences, it's still one that's worth checking out, as it turns a relatively simple idea into one of the year's most compelling and innovative puzzle games.
Gorogoa is a beautiful albeit short puzzle game worth experiencing even if you aren't a brilliant puzzle solver.
With smart puzzles and lovely art, Gorogoa is well worth grabbing for anyone who's a fan of puzzle games, even despite its short length.
There's a creative mind-bending aspect to some of the puzzles – at the right zoom level panels can be visually combined in clever ways. It really is a very carefully crafted game and I found the difficulty level just right – both pleasantly challenging and satisfying. While over quickly, I really enjoyed Gorogoa.
The first look of Gorogoa might remind you the gameplay of Framed and Monument Valley, but once you get into this game, you will find out Gorogoa provides a special experience, using a mass of creative interacting logic that is different from any other games. Even the most hardcore puzzle gamers can be moved by this great work.
