  • gameplay
    45 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a highly polished and innovative puzzle design that effectively combines simple mechanics to create deep and engaging challenges. Players appreciate the clever interactions between mechanics, which are introduced gradually, allowing for organic learning and exploration. While the game lacks some of the flair found in larger titles, it compensates with its focus on intelligent design and respect for the player's time and intelligence.

    • “A brilliant game with wonderful puzzle design and interesting mechanics that work together well.”
    • “The mechanics are quite well thought-out and seem to lead to a lot of puzzle depth (even with relatively few elements).”
    • “Highly polished puzzle game that focuses on solid core mechanics and respects the player's time and intelligence.”
    • “There is an in-game journal that explains every element's mechanics -- I wish it was more obviously advertised (maybe a big bouncing arrow that only disappears after you open it once) because I didn't realize it was there and I had to deduce the flying snake's axis preference by trial and error, which was a bit annoying.”
    • “In having no fat, it doesn't make sense to allow the player to proceed without first learning the necessary mechanics for future levels, so, in that way it is not all that generous with its progression.”
    • “It does lack the pizzazz most bigger puzzle games add with big mechanics or overworld shenanigans or story or some other major twist.”
  • story
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is minimal, leading to mixed feelings among players; some appreciate the focus on pure puzzle-solving, while others feel that the absence of a narrative and world-building diminishes engagement and motivation. Many reviewers express a desire for a simple storyline to enhance their investment in the gameplay, noting that richer storytelling elements found in other games could provide a more compelling experience. Overall, the lack of a narrative is seen as a drawback that detracts from the game's potential depth.

    • “The obvious drawback of this approach is that everything else that makes DROD great is lost -- the storyline, characters, voice acting, exploration, cutscenes, etc. I personally enjoyed those aspects of DROD a lot, as they provided good motivation to actually solve the hardest and most frustrating puzzles.”
    • “I kind of wish the game had the story and world-building DROD has to keep me more invested in progressing through puzzles, but I also think the game is fine as is.”
    • “I also wish there was a story to keep me engaged with the game, even if it was a simple one.”
    • “I kind of wish the game had the story and world-building that other games have to keep me more invested in progressing through puzzles.”
    • “It does lack the pizzazz most bigger puzzle games add with big mechanics or overworld shenanigans or story or some other major twist.”
