About
Set in a highly technological universe, with Vesta you will again feel the challenge of traditional puzzle games mixed with more arcade elements, all within a very elaborate and fascinating story. Gears, robots, mystery, humour, challenges, fun and action … Vesta is that, and much more.











- The puzzles are well thought out and provide a good variety of challenges throughout the game.
- The game features a charming art style and engaging story elements that enhance the overall experience.
- Vesta offers a satisfying gameplay loop that can be enjoyable for players of all ages, reminiscent of classic puzzle games.
- Combat mechanics can feel clunky and imprecise, particularly during boss fights, leading to frustration.
- Some puzzles may be unfairly designed, requiring trial and error that can detract from the overall enjoyment.
- The game lacks significant innovation, making it feel average and not particularly memorable despite its appealing visuals.

5 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay of Vesta is a blend of puzzle and stealth mechanics, where players navigate levels as a defenseless girl, using trial and error to outsmart robots. While some puzzles may feel frustratingly designed, the game offers a visually appealing experience and a satisfying gameplay loop, making it a recommended choice, particularly for fans of action-puzzlers like Zelda.
“The game still has stealth mechanics because as the little girl, you are defenseless against the robots, so you need to find ways around them in the level.”
“If you are good with this process of trial and error, I think you'll enjoy the tone and mechanics Vesta has to offer.”
“Though its puzzles can sometimes be unfairly or frustratingly designed, a pleasing visual style, meaty campaign, and generally satisfying gameplay loop make this a win in our book; we’d absolutely suggest you give Vesta a try (especially if you’re a Zelda fan).”
“The game still has stealth mechanics because as the little girl, you are defenseless against the robots, so you need to find ways around them in each level.”
“It's a simple action-puzzler, with straightforward tests of wit and basic mechanics to navigate.”
“The gameplay lacks depth, making it feel repetitive and uninspired after a short while.”
Vesta Review
Vesta is the perfect... average game. There's nothing objectively wrong with it, but there's also nothing special here, either. It's a simple action-puzzler, with simple tests of wit, and simple mechanics to deal with them.

Vesta does a remarkably fine job of aping the design and simple brilliance of Zelda puzzles, while putting its own unique spin on things as it does so. Though its puzzles can sometimes be unfairly or frustratingly designed, a pleasing visual style, meaty campaign and generally satisfying gameplay loop make this a win in our book; we’d absolutely suggest you give Vesta a try (especially if you’re a Zelda fan). There’s plenty to love about this quirky puzzle game, and it’s one you’ll likely want to revisit from time to time.
