What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The levels are all designed really well, new mechanics are introduced at a steady pace, as well as a bunch of secret extra levels and collectables.
It does a really nice job ramping up the difficulty slowly, using tiny iterations on puzzles and solutions without feeling overly repetitive.
Music/soundThe music is really relaxing, each world has a different soundtrack so it never feels repetitive, on certain levels it's synced up to the movement of some of the puzzles.
The visuals are pleasing to look at and even the hardest of puzzles look like they can be solved just because of their visual flair.
Altogether, these elements, with a very nice accompanying responsive score help generate a sense of flow (and even a bit of narrative force) in the game that puts Linelight a cut above the rest.
I strongly recommend use of a controller, as there are a few puzzles that are timing based, and even more that require a bit more finesse than a keyboard delivers.
