Selfloss Reviews
Showing a tonne of promise, Selfloss just fails to hit the landing in many places. With a lack of polish in some key areas, this one will leave you questioning what might have been.
Goodwin Games' interactive folktale ironically evokes its dour atmosphere in two ways: impressive presentation and unpolished gameplay.
Kazimir's journey handles topics like loss, and the frailty of humankind and nature, with such sincerity that makes Selfloss a journey worth shedding a tear or two for.
Selfloss definitely worth your time, but in the end its unrealized potential saddens more than its story.

Selfloss is a hidden gem, with many of its flaws overlooked thanks to its unique personality and captivating setting. While it may not break new ground in gameplay—and certain stumbles are felt throughout—it remains a title worth exploring for those who want to immerse themselves in a thoughtfully crafted world.

Selfloss is an incredibly enjoyable game, with well-crafted puzzles, satisfying combat and exploration, and an engaging story that makes us reflect on the pain of loss. Even though it is not localized in Portuguese (at least as of the date of this review), the game is a great option for those who enjoy adventures filled with puzzles and dangers to face.

Selfloss is heart-wrenching and wonderful; a game that won’t spare its players the gory details, that tells a clear story in a world still veiled in mysticism. With its focus on rewarding exploration mixed with very satisfying puzzle-solving and light combat (pun intended), Selfloss is one of the best games I have played in 2024.
Selfloss is not a game worth recommending, at least until some of its elements are thoroughly overhauled. The overly slow pace and uninteresting storyline also contribute to this impression. Yes, the game looks and sounds nice, but it doesn't matter much when the mechanics and the gameplay itself are full of shortcomings and bugs, and what's worse, they don't make it any fun.

I did say this game needs co-ordination and unfortunately, I am a button masher extraordinaire. I can, however, appreciate the beauty and the message of this story. Kazimir’s journey needs to end with the peace he needs and deserves. Selfloss is a bittersweet yet stimulating game that incorporates both story and gameplay. I recommend this game to anyone wanting to dive into a deep narrative about ‘self-loss’ (pun fully intended). This is a great start for Goodwin Game, I can’t wait to see what they publish next.
