GNOG Reviews
Gnog is a basic clicking game with a great universe and some simple puzzles on the side. For a kid, this would be immensely rewarding. For puzzle fans, this won't even begin to feel rewarding. Perhaps with deeper puzzles, Gnog would feel a bit more enticing. Currently, though, it's just a lot of bells and whistles with little reward for the player's precious time.
Design and music, although bizarre, makes a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, the puzzles are ridiculously easy and quickly become boring, turning the game into some kind of mundane clickfest.

GNOG is a bizarre collection of puzzles with unique style, unusual concept and problems with game design. Developers simply forget to give necessary hints and tips to solve the puzzles. As a result it is very easy to get stuck in and start to experience unpleasant emotions. These feelings are compounded by annoying music, which consists of several samples and plays in a circle. Fortunately, the game can be completed without new-fangled VR-gadget, but you are likely to be disappointed in any way.

GNOG is a game that defies explanation. It is a weird, abstract puzzle game that has a sense of play and about it, but ultimately leaves you wanting a little more.
It's not so much that I was left wanting more, but rather that I wasn't fully satiated with what I had.
GNOG is an artistic fever dream that oozes imagination; it is equal parts delightful and bizarre.
However, despite my gripes, I’m holding out for more Gnoggins to build on that short PS4 experience, especially with Steam and iOS launches planned for later in the year. If KO_OP decide to include additional game modes and more puzzles to solve, GNOG could become a real head-turner.
With just a handful of puzzles it'll also be over in no time, so it's best if you just take your time and take in all of the sights and sounds while you can.

GNOG is a curious beast; an odd monster, or series of monsters rather. It's a visual and auditory treat, with bright colors and rich soundscapes highlighting a bizarre game that doesn't seem to really have much direction or purpose. The puzzles are fun to poke, prod, and figure out, particularly in VR where each puzzle diorama head really has a chance to come to life in front of you, but the sense of wonder GNOG tries to invoke fades too quickly, leaving me with the feeling that this is more a sensory artifice than it is a digital Rubik's Cube.
More a nifty little virtual reality experience than a game but with an almost overwhelming amount of charm, GNOG is delightful. While it by no means feels like a full-sized title, that doesn't mean it isn't fun. It may not take you too long to see all that it has to offer, but it's still an absolutely beautiful game that you'll want to get lost in.
Bizarre, abstract, and completely beautiful. GNOG's puzzles aren't difficult but they are strangely entrancing, especially in VR.
GNOG's two hours are light and not so challenging but still, solving these puzzles and making the heads work can be a fun process. The visuals and the music make this a relaxing and very unique experience, and although very simple, it did leave me in the wishing for more content within the game.

GNOG is a fun puzzle game that really does have some great ideas wrapped up in one of the most entertaining presentations I've seen in a while. I just wish it was longer.
Gnog is a unique puzzler that combines truly great puzzles with a fantastic visual experience. The game is short but sweet, and is perfect for kids due to the easy controls and vibrant colours.
Gnog is a relaxing puzzle experience. None of the boxes make your brain hurt, but each offers a rewarding set of engaging tasks
GNOG is a unique puzzle game that offers interesting visuals, interactive and music infused puzzles, and seems more like an interactive art exhibition than an actual game.
Although GNOG is a brief experience — it can be completed in less than 3 hours, by my count — it still is a very enjoyable one. The soundtrack is great, the presentation is unique, and the puzzles kept me engaged throughout. It's definitely a game worth considering if you love music as much as I do — especially if you also have access to PlayStation VR.
Gnog is a pleasing and relaxing experience; one that understands what its strengths are and focuses making them the best they can be. Plus, it is the perfect length for escaping the dull and drab realities of the real world, and diving into the pastel-drenched absurdities of Gnog.
GNOG, even though it was made with the PS VR in mind, it's a fun and visually incredible game, even in a flat screen. It's a short yet fun experience, but it's not made for every player.
