Pre-Release Sentiment

Jonathan Blow's next puzzle adventure is getting a cautious but mostly positive response ahead of release. The sheer scale of interconnected puzzles is what's exciting people, with the core sokoban-style gameplay mechanics landing well. There's a lot of skepticism around the story's clarity and the game's difficulty, however. Reactions are also notably split on performance, especially regarding the Switch 2 port, and Blow's own divisive reputation is a recurring topic.
