  • graphics
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the astonishing visuals, good artwork, and atmospheric design, while others criticize issues like graphical glitches, poor rendering, and camera angles that hinder gameplay. While the aesthetic may appeal to some players, technical shortcomings detract from the overall experience for others.

    • “Great game with astonishing graphics and a nice minimalistic story.”
    • “The graphics and music were also really good and perfectly suited to the atmosphere of the game.”
    • “Good artwork and level design.”
    • “Graphics are okay, but they look like a mobile game.”
    • “Bit of a bummer this... Golem is precisely the sort of game I typically love (no pressure puzzle solving), but between the obtuse camera angles (thankfully you can adjust the camera with WASD and the mouse wheel to zoom in or out), some graphical glitches and bugs, and the increasingly convoluted puzzles, ultimately means I can't recommend this game.”
    • “In my case, the images weren't rendering properly, resulting in the blurred graphics you'd expect from a game on one of the older consoles, not a game whose selling point is at least partially the graphics and beautiful environment.”
  • music
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for its chill and relaxing quality, complementing the beautiful artwork and overall atmosphere. However, some users noted issues with abrupt cuts during specific events, like the golem's evolution, and inconsistencies in sound effects, such as loud noises from the golem's movements and missing sounds for certain actions. Overall, the soundtrack enhances the gameplay experience, despite some technical flaws.

    • “It is really chill and relaxing, with beautiful art and even better music.”
    • “The graphics and music were also really good and perfectly suited to the atmosphere of the game.”
    • “Great music, pretty artwork, interesting theme.”
    • “The music cuts oddly when the golem 'evolves'; some things make an awful amount of racket, such as the golem walking up and down stairs, and some things lack sound for no obvious reason, such as object collision.”
  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many users expressing frustration over poor control mechanics that detract from the overall experience. While some appreciate the atmosphere and find the puzzle mechanics enjoyable, others feel that the gameplay lacks challenge and is hindered by its controls. Overall, the game presents a blend of appealing aesthetics and accessible mechanics, but control issues significantly impact player enjoyment.

    • “Nice atmosphere, mechanics are well-introduced and easy to apply, and the puzzles are pretty nice so far.”
    • “Puzzles so far aren't extremely challenging, but I enjoy the mechanics of them, or at least the concept of the mechanics.”
    • “Unfortunately, the control mechanics feel horrid to me; I bounced right off the gameplay because of that.”
    • “Unfortunately, the control mechanics feel horrid to me; I bounced right off the gameplay because of that.”
    • “Unfortunately, the control mechanics feel horrid to me; I bounced right off the gameplay because of that.”
  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally viewed as interesting but somewhat insubstantial, primarily revolving around simple tasks and minimalistic elements. While some players appreciate the intriguing puzzles and the potential for sequels hinted at within the narrative, others find the plot lacking depth. Overall, the game's graphics are praised, but the storyline may not be the main draw for all players.

    • “The story is interesting and I enjoy the puzzles too!”
    • “Great game with astonishing graphics and a nice minimalistic story.”
    • “The story is pretty insubstantial (arrive at a place, get the machine to work, go to a new place).”
    • “There are several rather obvious indications of sequels in the form of hints that at least two more towers exist that are related to the tower the storyline takes place in.”
  • atmosphere
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is highly praised for its excellent graphics and music, which complement the overall experience. Players appreciate the relaxing ambiance, alongside well-introduced mechanics and enjoyable puzzles, contributing to a cohesive and immersive environment.

    • “The graphics and music were also really good and perfectly suited to the atmosphere of the game.”
    • “Nice atmosphere, mechanics are well-introduced and easy to apply, and the puzzles are pretty nice so far.”
    • “It has a relaxing atmosphere to it.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is marred by significant issues, including problematic camera angles that hinder gameplay, various graphical glitches, and bugs that can disrupt progress, such as characters becoming stuck in unintended positions. Additionally, a broken achievement remains unaddressed by the developers, leading to a frustrating experience for players. Overall, these stability concerns detract from the enjoyment of the game.

    • “Bit of a bummer this... Golem is precisely the sort of game I typically love (no pressure puzzle solving), but between the obtuse camera angles (thankfully you can adjust the camera with WASD and the mouse wheel to zoom in or out), the camera and how it affects your ability to click on targets is your enemy more often than not. Additionally, there are some graphical glitches and bugs, increasingly convoluted puzzles, and a broken achievement that the developers can't be bothered to address or fix. Ultimately, this means I can't recommend this game.”
    • “And the bugs/glitches... Several times I reloaded a saved game and found the character suspended in the air as if she was climbing a vine, whereas she had in fact been saved handling a lever, and she simply could not be retrieved from that position.”
    • “The camera angles are obtuse, and while you can adjust them, they still hinder your ability to interact with the game effectively. Coupled with various graphical glitches and a lack of support for broken achievements, the overall stability of the game is severely lacking.”
