The Pedestrian Reviews
While I didn’t struggle too much with the puzzles, I can see where a hint system would be an improvement, especially to attract more casual gamers who might pick The Pedestrian up and then get frustrated quickly and miss out on this unique game. For puzzle fans, if you take The Pedestrian for a walk, you will find that the best puzzle games are the ones that make you feel really smart for figuring them out, and The Pedestrian has many puzzles that will give you that eureka moment and make you feel like a genius!
The Pedestrian is a cute puzzle game like no other. It excels in several ways, be it the visuals or just the idea of the game itself. The only downside for me is the length, but it's up to each of you to decide how long you want to deal with the tricky puzzles. I myself enjoyed this game a lot, although I have to admit to the occasional twitch of nerves from being stuck for a long period of time in a complete mess.

The Pedestrian tries to challenge its audience by designing creative puzzles. If you are going to spend a few hours solving puzzles and using your geometric intelligence and at the same time listening to soothing music, do not miss the experience of this game in any way.

The Pedestrian is a beautiful, well thought out puzzler that nails that mark between a relaxing and challenging experience. Skookum Arts has crafted an experience worth the time of those looking for a beautiful new brain teaser.
The Pedestrian is a small playground full of clever and creative puzzles that aim to put the player to think, but without the frustration of complex or unrealizable challenges. The game features an abstract and short narrative with an unexpected twist that is intrinsically linked to its charming 2D and 3D atmosphere, with colorful visuals and an engaging soundtrack. Even with its low replay factor, the title from Skookum Arts is a joyful experience and recommended to all audiences.

If you’re in the mood to play a unique puzzle game with an interesting concept and beautiful visuals, The Pedestrian is for you. Although the game gets trickier and more complex the further you get, you never feel like it’s an impossible puzzle; you can solve everything if you take your time and plan ahead – making this accessible to people of all ages and skill levels. The main PS5 upgrade has to be the immersive haptic feedback in the controller, but the sharp, clean, and colourful visuals also help define just how polished and special this game truly is. The only negative I can think of is that I was left wanting more, I could happily spend many more hours lost within this world as I try to escape.
The Pedestrian is a unique and creatively designed puzzle game that shouldn’t be missed. Even if the journey is short, travelling by signage while listening to a relaxing soundtrack is the one of the most fun ways of getting around a city (outside of pedal pubs). Sign up for this trip, puzzle fans.
The Pedestrian is a very accomplished puzzle game. With a very creative premise, a genuine surprise of a twist and a unique atmosphere, the whole experience is pure pleasure. Its levels are very well designed and presents a unique and captivating take on 2.5D environments. I just wish it challenged me more and it had more replay value. All in all, The Pedestrian ends up being a contained and relaxing experience, which may be ideal for this troubled start of the year.

The Pedestrian is a competent puzzle game, perhaps a little short, but with a personality and intensity that you don't normally see in this type of title. Recommended for anyone who enjoys puzzle games and wants something fresh and different.

The Pedestrian is a rewarding puzzle game with well-made brain busters that challenge the likes of Portal. This was originally a Kickstarter campaign, so if you’ve made the initial $15 investment to back the game, you should know that your money was well-spent. If you’re looking to pick this up on Steam, $20 is an appropriate price. The only barrier to being worth much more is the overall short length of the game. In case it’s unclear, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of The Pedestrian.
The Pedestrian is a highly creative, well-balanced and pleasantly challenging odyssey through the sign forest of a big city - and a real gem in the puzzle genre.
