Hob is a beautiful Zelda-like puzzler with fun combat elements that takes place on an enchanting world where nature and machinery alter the landscape as easily as a twist of a Rubik's cube. The wordless approach to the story creates some confusion and the fix camera sometimes results in unnecessary deaths, but never does the time spent with Hob feel wasted.
Eurogamer
Intricate and ingenious, Hob is a true spiritual successor to A Link to the Past.
PC Gamer
A gorgeous world eager to be explored with satisfying puzzles and fun, if occasionally clumsy, action.
Game Informer
Hob delivers meaningful, wondrous exploration in an alluring and enigmatic world, but the combat and technical issues hold it back
