I am awful at puzzles and a lot of these stumped me, but I really enjoyed the concept and story!
Having a great run cut short by glitching through a wall and falling into the abyss, only for the game to say you have to "Fall it a day" is one of the most brutal things a game has ever done to me
Rolled credits around day 25. I kept poking
Best puzzle game I've ever played, and one of my favorite games of all time.
I absolutely love this game and really want it to be game of the year. As close to perfect as can be expected from a game like this. The only things preventing a 5/5 is the rng can be alittle much at times, and I wish the player would move
Amazing game that is hampered by RNG and some incredibly obtuse puzzles. Free on Xbox and PS so worth a try but tough to recommend if you have to buy.
Boring, redundant and random. The biggest part of gameplay is empty. There is nothing to read, no one to talk to. There is a huge lack of a good soundtrack,.
The puzzles are rare and too easy to solve.
Unfortunately, I can not give this game more stars. At first, you're absolutely blown away by the ideas and creativity of the puzzles. As someone who loves puzzle games, ranging back to the old Dracula games on PS1, I was ecstatic, not to mention the great rogue-like element to it.
A unique and awesomely distributed puzzle roguelike. I played this for over 60 hours and I would say the middle 40 were some of the best and most engaging puzzle gameplay I have ever been a part of. The game is not easy on the player or the player's mentality.
A puzzle game that blows Myst out of the water - and I really, really don't say that lightly. With a slow, curious start, Blue Prince quickly develops into a game that keeps you thinking about it whenever you're not playing it. I've found myself thinking over puzzles in the
An incredibly intelligent and addictive hands-off puzzle box of a game about paying close attention and making thoughtful decisions. The atmosphere is intoxicating and ominous. The game works all the way up until you figure out what to do, which is when the randomness starts to get in the way
Pros :
+ fresh take on the roguelite formula, where progression is based on knowledge
+ everything feels intuitive (no tutorial)
+ rewards curiosity and careful observation (especially during the first playthroughs)
+ reaching the main goal once or twice feels fair, rewarding, and well-designed (without overwhelming the player+++++)
+ Relaxing/quiet soundtrack + minimalist visuals

A very unique, multilayered, profound and engaging experience. My personal favorite of the year, maybe of the decade. I doubt any other videogame will take away the game of the year place in my 2025 private podium.
With that out of the way, I have a few considerations about it.
First,
its fun for like 4-5 max then it becomes tedious, very unique concept though, just not interesting enough to see it through.
The RNG is absolutely frustrating, wanting to try new things discovered in the run is infuiriating since half the time the game doesn't give you the rooms you want.
Permanent upgrades are not earned, they are (mostly) given through RNG and they do make the game easier, but in a lets
Not sure I've ever been so conflicted about a game! What I can say for sure is that it's a game everyone should try for themselves. In many ways, it's utterly unique and the way its systems slot together is nothing short of genius. Never played anything like it.
However,
A puzzle game like no other. Like a 7 layer bean dip but each layer gets better as you go further and discover there's more going on.
Absolute Masterpiece!!!! Probably the best puzzle game ever created.
Extremely generic indie puzzle game wrapped in a pretentious and overbearing package. Add it to the list of overrated games of all time. The people who think this game is great are deep huffing more copium than any human should have to.
The game ends with a nonsensical and poorly written
