Hirogami Reviews
Summary Hirogami is fun, but it would be better if it were a pure platformer with a focus on origami. Despite the combat being a bit basic, the other elements, like exploration and abilities, help flesh out this story to stop the blight from taking over. It's a beautiful game that does a great job of showcasing the impressive art of origami, and it's paired with a great soundtrack that I adored listening to while playing.
Hirogami is a title that stands out for its wonderful artwork, capable of transporting the player into a vibrant, living world of origami. However, despite its aesthetic promise, the game fails to maintain the same quality in every aspect, with combat mechanics that are cumbersome and unintuitive, thus breaking the rhythm of the adventure. This work is a recommended experience for lovers of art and exploration, but it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth for what it could have been.

Hirogami blends beautiful origami aesthetics with creative transformation mechanics, but its underwhelming level design and lack of polish keep it from reaching its full potential.
Hirogami perfects the charm of papercraft platforming, offering a console-focused experience rich in exploration, replay value, and creative mechanics. Despite some quality-of-life shortcomings, its blend of engaging gameplay, evolving combat, and a visually captivating world makes it a standout platforming adventure worth adding to any rotation.
Hirogami is a charming experience that’ll wins players over with its stunning papercraft visuals and inventive platforming action – even if its clunky combat and somewhat dated design hold it back from greatness. It’s creative, endearing, and often delightful to play, but also inconsistent enough that its flaws can feel a little hard to ignore. But still, if you’re after a stylish old-school platforming throwback with plenty of personality, Hirogami is well worth unfolding at least once.
Hirogami is a charming origami based platformer with great movement and gorgeous visuals, but its combat and frustrating objectives hold it back.
At its best, Hirogami is a great platformer that impresses with its origami visuals and mechanics. But it's often too frustrating an experience for me to recommend it without reservation.

Hirogami is a solid, polished 3D platformer that offers a good amount of replayability. Its art direction and sound design go to great lengths to build an Origami world, while its narrative falls a bit flat and doesn’t do anything interesting with the game’s themes. Basic combat is improved with Hiro’s different animal forms, while I found the puzzles and traversal satisfying from the start. The game’s camera does its best to be a constant nuisance, but even the bizarre angles and perspectives couldn’t ruin a good time. A bit frayed at the edges and with a few extra creases, Hirogami is a fun adventure that is worth your time and paper.
Hirogami is a 3D platformer that unfolds with the elegance of origami, layering its world with creativity, charm, and striking paper-crafted visuals. It may not be the most challenging game out there, but its inventive puzzles, playful mechanics, and imaginative design make for an adventure that feels fresh, memorable, and consistently delightful.
Hirogami is a great first effort from Bandai Namco Singapore and Bandai Namco Malaysia in the mellow-level 3D platforming department. Even with some of its quirky bugs that hamper my platforming by a tad, it's still a worthy look for its aesthetics and paper animal-shifting gameplay that requires some semblance of skill.
Hirogami offers an enjoyable classic platformer experience, blending simple gameplay with a unique origami-inspired artistic style. The level design is varied, and the transformations add a creative touch to the gameplay. While combat may feel simplistic and the dialogues lack voice acting, the overall atmosphere, music, and effects make up for these shortcomings, delivering a fitting experience for fans of classic games with a modern twist.
