Uneven pacing and a handful of poor design decisions can't bring down Cradle's unique, sci-fi mystery.
"Cradle" is a single-player Science Fiction Action game that offers an intriguing story and stunning visuals in a robotized Mongolia setting. Players will explore an open world, interact with living characters, and solve mysteries while repairing their companion's mechanical body. Despite having a deep story, the game is marred by optimization issues, bugs, and grinding, but its atmospheric music and setting create a wholesome experience.
