PETS

Excellent, super fun, fresh and crazy mechanics, and made me get lost (positive). This game is HUGE on exploration and I love it. It is a bit difficult due to how crazy the exploration is (and you bouncing between main objective and side content), but the main path is pretty fine. The game even has a fantastic map feature, showing where your dog headed next, and all the collectibles. The extra-content is insane and I loved it. I'm losing my mind trying to find my way into some of the areas, and when you find one out, a cascade of unlock follows.

Fun, little game that plays around a single trick - changing between 2D and 3D. I wouldn't say it's the best use of this mechanic as the level of manipulation of the environment is minimal. It's more about understanding your surroundings and being observant. It took me around 2h to finish the game and another 2 on finding the way to collectibles but at some point it became a tedious search for a place where you can cross the border and I gave up. Good to know (no spoilers): - Works on Steam Deck and isn't too taxing for the battery - Platforming is done in old school way - proper paths will often feel like secrets

Its a good concept for sure--switching between 2D and 3D to navigate a labyrinth of dog bones and other collectibles. I suppose the execution is good too, just not mine. Nothing like a challenging puzzle game to make you feel stupid. I got stuck within minutes, and after I got unstuck, I got stuck again. I'm not sure if this puzzle game is a delight to solve, or a chore to play.
