straighten things to look nice, maybe

straighten things to look nice, maybe put things away in their proper places."
0:31
put things away in their proper places."

put things away in their proper places." And while there are puzzles like that,
0:33
And while there are puzzles like that,
0:33
And while there are puzzles like that, there's also a whole lot more to them.
0:35
there's also a whole lot more to them.

there's also a whole lot more to them. Sometimes it's about matching images to

Sometimes it's about matching images to one another, setting certain things

beside one another in a way that makes

beside one another in a way that makes sense, given an image on the items
0:42
sense, given an image on the items
0:42
sense, given an image on the items themselves. There were times that I
0:44
themselves. There were times that I
0:44
themselves. There were times that I stared at a puzzle for more than 5
0:46
stared at a puzzle for more than 5
0:46
stared at a puzzle for more than 5 minutes trying to different things to
0:47
minutes trying to different things to
0:47
minutes trying to different things to trigger a completion, which is probably
0:49
trigger a completion, which is probably
0:49
trigger a completion, which is probably why I struggle with wanting to finish
0:51
why I struggle with wanting to finish
0:51
why I struggle with wanting to finish the game in the first place. You'll need
0:53
the game in the first place. You'll need
0:53
the game in the first place. You'll need to wrap your head around things and
0:54
to wrap your head around things and
0:54
to wrap your head around things and maybe look at the puzzle overall to get
0:56
maybe look at the puzzle overall to get
0:56
maybe look at the puzzle overall to get it instead of the individual pieces it
0:58
it instead of the individual pieces it
0:58
it instead of the individual pieces it gives you. Hence, there were times where
1:01
gives you. Hence, there were times where
1:01
gives you. Hence, there were times where I sat on a puzzle for about 5 minutes
1:03
I sat on a puzzle for about 5 minutes
1:03
I sat on a puzzle for about 5 minutes before I finally gave up and couldn't
1:04
before I finally gave up and couldn't
1:04
before I finally gave up and couldn't figure it out. And that's why I'm
1:06
figure it out. And that's why I'm
1:06
figure it out. And that's why I'm thankful there's a hint button you can
1:08
thankful there's a hint button you can
1:08
thankful there's a hint button you can use. If you click it by accident,
1:10
use. If you click it by accident,
1:10
use. If you click it by accident, there's actually a fail safe where you
1:11
there's actually a fail safe where you
1:11
there's actually a fail safe where you don't see the completed solution right
1:13
don't see the completed solution right
1:13
don't see the completed solution right away. You have to erase the scribbles in
1:15
away. You have to erase the scribbles in
1:15
away. You have to erase the scribbles in order to see the correct way to solve
1:16
order to see the correct way to solve

you, but you don't want to use a hint and get a free no thinking pass on how
1:25
and get a free no thinking pass on how
1:25
and get a free no thinking pass on how to solve it, rather save it for later,
1:28
to solve it, rather save it for later,
1:28
to solve it, rather save it for later, you can simply skip the puzzle. When
1:30
you can simply skip the puzzle. When
1:30
you can simply skip the puzzle. When choosing levels, you can always return
1:32
choosing levels, you can always return
1:32
choosing levels, you can always return to puzzles that you don't have all the
1:33
to puzzles that you don't have all the
1:33
to puzzles that you don't have all the stars for. So yeah, when you when you're
1:37
stars for. So yeah, when you when you're

Multiple ways of solving. A lot of the puzzles you'll come up against are going
1:48
puzzles you'll come up against are going
1:48
puzzles you'll come up against are going to be singular solves. There's really
1:50
to be singular solves. There's really
1:50
to be singular solves. There's really only one way they can be completed, but
1:53
only one way they can be completed, but
1:53
only one way they can be completed, but I really like how they incorporated
1:55
I really like how they incorporated

Cons: I DNFed. For those that don't know, this means I did not finish. And
2:09
know, this means I did not finish. And

know, this means I did not finish. And that's not because the game is bad or
2:11
that's not because the game is bad or
2:11
that's not because the game is bad or anything like that. In fact, it's a
2:13
anything like that. In fact, it's a
2:13
anything like that. In fact, it's a great game. But I guess it's not as
2:15
great game. But I guess it's not as
2:15
great game. But I guess it's not as simplistic as I thought it might be for
2:16
simplistic as I thought it might be for
2:16
simplistic as I thought it might be for someone who is probably less than a mild

someone who is probably less than a mild
2:18
someone who is probably less than a mild case of OCD. I like being organized in
2:21
case of OCD. I like being organized in
2:21
case of OCD. I like being organized in specific ways, and this game actually
2:23
specific ways, and this game actually
2:23
specific ways, and this game actually requires a lot more thought at certain
2:24
requires a lot more thought at certain
2:24
requires a lot more thought at certain times than I'm capable of doing. So,
2:27
times than I'm capable of doing. So,
2:27
times than I'm capable of doing. So, it's a me thing. If you enjoy puzzling
2:29
it's a me thing. If you enjoy puzzling
2:29
it's a me thing. If you enjoy puzzling out a way to put things in a specific
2:31
out a way to put things in a specific
2:31
out a way to put things in a specific order or placement that appeases both
2:33
order or placement that appeases both
2:33
order or placement that appeases both the game and your brain, then this game
2:35
the game and your brain, then this game
2:35
the game and your brain, then this game would be great for you. Not every item
2:38
would be great for you. Not every item
2:38
would be great for you. Not every item locks into place. I thought it was a
2:41
locks into place. I thought it was a
2:41
locks into place. I thought it was a little weird that in most instances of a
2:43
little weird that in most instances of a
2:43
little weird that in most instances of a lot of puzzles where you can grab
2:44
lot of puzzles where you can grab
2:44
lot of puzzles where you can grab something and move it around, they'll
2:46
something and move it around, they'll
2:46
something and move it around, they'll lock into a specific place. Maybe not
2:48
lock into a specific place. Maybe not
2:48
lock into a specific place. Maybe not lock, but snap into position would be
2:50
lock, but snap into position would be
2:50
lock, but snap into position would be better phrasing. Other times, that's not
2:52
better phrasing. Other times, that's not
2:52
better phrasing. Other times, that's not really the case. The items feel a bit
2:55
really the case. The items feel a bit
2:55
really the case. The items feel a bit more loose, making you think maybe it's
2:57
more loose, making you think maybe it's
2:57
more loose, making you think maybe it's not supposed to go there. Even though
2:59
not supposed to go there. Even though

not supposed to go there. Even though some things do belong in these slots,
