Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure Reviews
Looking deeper into the mechanics, I was in awe at the clever nature each solution took. At the end of the day, Arranger is a complete package of puzzle, story, heart, art and music. If only it stood out more from a mainstream aspect, but the least I could do is yell it from the rooftops here: Play Arranger!.
Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure manages to combine the best of a good puzzle game with a captivating story in a very well told narrative. With simple concepts, it gives a show of excellence in everything it has proposed.

As one of my new favourite indies of the year, Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure is a joy to play with its unconventional puzzles.
Arranger has enough flaws that I can’t say I love it, either. There are good ideas, and occasionally very good execution, but on the whole none of it feels like it ever clicks into a coherent, must-play whole.
Furniture & Mattress debuts with Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure, a title that captivates thanks to an original movement mechanic and an intelligent approach to its puzzles. A title that with only a handful of hours offers one of those breaths of fresh air that the industry needs so much.

Just like Jemma's search for identity, Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure managed to find a very good place among the genre titles. The way its story develops and the ability to solve more challenging puzzles mix together to create a beautiful adventure worth every challenge we face when exploring it.

Arranger is a palate-cleansing puzzle game which hits all its notes with fine precision.
In isolation, Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure is a tough but fair puzzle game. Once the game clicks, there’s a zen-like flow to zooming about the environment (speedrunners, take note). But the puzzle element is only one part of its RPG promise—the sense of adventure is lacking, and the roles are nowhere to be found.
Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure stands out for its originality and charm, offering a magical and compelling experience. The soundtrack, charming art direction and plot help create an immersive, captivating atmosphere. However, the gameplay, while innovative, presents challenges that may hinder the player experience due to execution issues and the lack of adequate support during critical moments. Jemma's journey is full of lessons about friendship, trust and courage, making it a pleasant adventure to play through despite the obstacles that demand constant attention to this world's logic.

Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure is an explosion of creativity. The team of artists behind it turned one simple concept into an adventure worth taking, turned simple tiles on a grid into a world full of imaginative concepts, and, hopefully, will turn many more slide puzzle strangers into converts overnight. If you're looking at the hefty 2024 gaming season and wondering if you should slide some pieces around to make space for Arranger, I say leave the space open and you won't regret it.
I appreciate Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure and what it sets out to do, as the concept is great and some puzzles are thought-provoking.
Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure is an addicting and fun title with a beautiful art style and a near flawless performance, regardless if you're playing on docked mode or handheld mode. Despite the short runtime, a lack of any content for completionists, and puzzles that often feel obtuse, Arranger is bound to at least put a smile on your face, even if you're just a casual fan of the puzzle genre.
Furniture & Mattress' debut game moves all its threads with surgical precision to get puzzles and adventures to share a triumphant close-up.
