Sizeable

Sizeable in the grand scheme of things is a very well-crafted game. There has been a lot of work and effort put in to ensure this small project is packed densely with great ideas. The core mechanic, whilst simple in execution, is used to achieve an impressive array of effects, which make for some entertaining puzzles. The length of the game may disappoint some, but with the game sitting at an equally bite-sized price, I would encourage those interested to absolutely check it out anyway.

    148 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Overall, it provides a delightful blend of exploration and puzzle-solving, making it a great choice for those seeking a cozy gaming experience.

    • “The central mechanic is simple yet endlessly creative: you can resize objects in each scene to alter the environment and reveal hidden elements.”
    • “The gameplay itself is probably around 2 hours, and for the price (on sale) it offers an amazing deal.”
    • “For others seeking a deeper or more mechanically demanding puzzle experience, it may feel like a fleeting diversion rather than a full journey.”

    • “I've been able to turn off the music but sometimes I have something I'm listening to in the background and unfortunately the sound of birds chirping in the game is constant.”

    94 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “At first I figured the game looked cute, but was a little worried it wouldn't run very well because of the blocky graphics.”

    • “The atmosphere is calm, the art is cute, and the interactions are quite fun.”
  • replayability
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the hidden achievements and collectibles that encourage multiple playthroughs, many criticize its short length and limited content, resulting in low replay value.

    • “Replayability is my biggest complaint.”
    • “Other than that, it doesn't really have replay value, but I guess that's what you get for a puzzle game.”
  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game emphasizes environmental storytelling through its charming dioramas, allowing players to engage with the world and uncover narratives by observation and interaction rather than a traditional plot.

Overall, the storytelling is subtle yet effective, enhancing the game's relaxing and engaging experience.

    • “Instead of relying on complex mechanics or intense challenge, the game invites players to interact with miniature dioramas—small handcrafted worlds filled with charm, color, and environmental storytelling.”
    • “This was peak environmental storytelling.”
    • “You could understand the story and the concept by observing and interacting with the scene alone.”
    • “The trailers show exactly what to expect: there isn't a story or a crazy gameplay twist, but there doesn't need to be.”
    • “It is pretty charming and if you want a chill puzzle game that doesn't take too much of your time since the levels are only a few minutes and there is no overarching plot, it's easy to play on the go.”
