Linelight

Linelight is a minimalistic puzzle game that draws you in with its tranquil atmosphere and tests your mettle with ever-increasing challenges.

This isn’t going to entertain the brainboxes who demand Stephen’s Sausage Witness before they’ll get out of their four-dimensional beds, but for a chilled puzzling time, they don’t get much better than this. It’s really splendid.

Those who’ve had any skepticism that visuals meant to accompany minimally-structured gameplay could strive for greatness need only look at Linelight to have their prejudices proved wrong.

Puzzle action games can and have come in many forms, though I don't think I've ever seen any go to the degree of simplicity seen in Linelight...

Linelight is quite a shining light in the sea of Switch releases this November. If you’re looking for a nice casual puzzler with great music this is an easy one to recommend for all ages. Linelight is like an adult colouring book. Simple in concept but provides some mindfulness that feels both good for the soul and fun to play.

Aside from its little issues, LineLight, being the very first creation from My Dog Zorro and an puzzle indie game, has done his mission by delivering us a fast-paced gameplay with deep riddles and an enjoyable music. I'd easily recommend this game, even for those who do not enjoy puzzle games that much, which I assure them that this game would be a innovative and enjoyable experience.

My Dog Zorro have knocked it out of the park with this deceptively simple and deep puzzler, and I can’t wait for what they’ve got in store for us next. It’s easy to overlook title like this with so much amazing AAA-fare going around like NieR: Automata and Horizon: Zero Dawn, but make no mistake: Linelight is not to be missed.

I absolutely loved Linelight. It’s a highly addictive release that will keep you coming back for more, and once you think you’ve finished the game, you might end up finding some extra content as a reward for your effort. Its simple but strong gameplay mechanic, minimalist but charming look and excellent puzzle design make this one of the best games on the PlayStation 4.

Linelight's simple design philosophy has managed to spawn one of the freshest puzzle experiences to grace the genre in recent years. The minimalism you see hides well the depth that some of the puzzles require, though the timings for some of them can be a tad too precise.

I could see how this could have been a great mobile game to spend a couple minutes on at a time, but not so much as a standalone console game to sit with for extended sessions.
