★★★★☆Excellent, but too short and a missed opportunity!
This game was delightful, and I’m glad for every moment I spent with it. But I finished the whole thing in a night! The creators did just enough with the censorship mechanism to keep it interesting and I definitely wanted more—maybe some DLC?
The one mechanism I’m sad wasn’t explored more was *SPOILER ALERT* the single puzzle that had TWO possible correct answers for progression. Granted, one led to an immediate game over, but finding other ways to implement this would’ve been amazing.
Thanks
★★★★☆Enjoyable puzzles, too short
My wife and I have both played Grayout, and now Blackbar. They were very enjoyable! I like how easy they were to pick up/put down. No menus, loading screens, time sensitive activities- it was as simple as checking your text messages, so I never felt tied to it.
My suggestion would be making them longer, or possibly having them branch storylines in the style of a choose-your-own-adventure. That would allow for some replayability at least.
Definitely worth your time and money, so pick it up i
★★★☆☆Too short
Interesting, but took me about two hours to complete. It needs to be longer and the story just seems to cut off, like it is unfinished.
