One of the best definitions of less is more in gaming. No dialogue, no endless text, no convoluted narrative. You walk and have 1 action button. ¿Can you cram an entire game with the less amount of interaction? The answer is yes. And it’s fantastic. 5/5
Every action you make is extremely satisfying, the graphics are incredible and the puzzles are just hard enough. Everybody should play this game.
Took me 5 hours to complete without a guide (did not find every hidden collectible) Impressive length of time for an indie puzzle game I completed it in an afternoon. I do not recommend this, as my memory started to get muddled 4 hour mark. But that's on me. I'd say you should give this 2+ sittings. Though, you could argue that it's a bit too long for what it is. But it kept innovating with its puzzles until towards the end, so I never felt like it was dragging until the end Very beginner friendly. Got insane mileage for something that uses only 1 button. The creativity, both in puzzles and worldbuilding (aethetics), is truly standout. I truly felt lost within worlds after awhile. Swooped right along. The graphics and lighting themselves though look like the generic "indie 3d puzzle game" style. Overall, I'd say it's a very good game. This is such a specific gripe (which should show you what a good quality game it is if I'm this far out), but I don't feel richer for having played it. Maybe because I've been playing it for hours. But very little of it will stick with me. I think that's because there's zero writing. It played smoothly and well. Cocoon is an excellent puzzle game, even though I didn't click with it myself It deserves its overwhelmingly positive reviews
