Is This Seat Taken?

[h1]Relaxing. Charming. Logical Thinking. [/h1] [h2]Things I Like About Is This Seat Taken:[/h2] [list] [*][b] Arranging The Progressively Demanding Shapes:[/b] The gameplay is simple. The game spawns a bunch of cute little shape people at the start. Each shape person has different demands about their seat. Some want to be alone. Some want to chat. Some just want to stay away from stinky people. It is your job to help them find the best place to sit. Categorize those with similar needs, prioritize seating those who want specific spots first, and then gradually sort out the rest. I find this process quite relaxing. The end result always produces an almost Zen-like satisfaction. [*][b]Stage Difference:[/b] Shape people are not the only thing you need pay attention to. Each stage also offers a variety of small variables that can affect your arrangement. Loud speakers are for those who want to dance but not the chill ones; air conditioners are for the sweating ones but not for those who are sensitive to cold. Even in classes you need to intentionally separate the chatting ones in order for them to focus. [*][b]Small Arching Story:[/b] I like how the game intertwines a small story in between gameplay. It's an encouraging story about an aspiring shape trying its best to become a good actor. We follow its journey from admiration to self-doubt to friendship to perseverance and, in the end, to finding its own path. [*][b]Relaxing Beats:[/b] Of course music is also a very important aspect of this type of game, and I think the dev strikes a perfect balance. It has an upbeat melody. The rhythm dances between a leisure pace and a jolly beat. It's very similar to Baba Is You! [/list] [h2]Things I Dislike About Is This Seat Taken:[/h2] [list] [*][b]Cursor Problem:[/b] The only thing that bothers me is the cursor having problems identifying the selected shape when said shape is among others. This happens when the stage is smaller and the shape; people tend to group up a lot. The cursor often highlights the wrong target even though you are hovering over it, making me pick up the wrong shape and subsequently ruining my perfectly sorted arrangement. [/list] [b]中文小簡評[/b] 《這位子形不形？》是一款較短的邏輯排列小品，畫風可愛，玩起來十分輕鬆寫意。 [b]喜歡的點[/b] [list] [*]簡單直白的玩法，根據這些多邊形小人開的條件幫他們安排座位，優先排列有指定座位的，之後再將其他條件相似的多邊形小人依依放到對的座位上即可，過程輕鬆益智，完美達成滿星都有股近乎禪意的滿足感縈繞心頭。 [*]除了多邊形小人的條件外，遊戲也設有多樣的場景來讓排列組更具變化性，像是舞台靠近音響的位置適合想跳舞的人，但不適合喜歡安靜的人等。有的場景甚至會特別要求你不要滿足多邊形小人才能通關，十分有趣。 [*]遊戲也在關卡中安插一個小故事，一個滿懷希望的多邊形小人立志成為一位優秀演員。我們跟隨他從最初的仰慕，到自我懷疑，再到友誼、到堅持不懈，最後終於找到屬於自己的道路。 [*]這類益智遊戲當然少不了音樂的點綴啦，歡快的旋律搭配不疾不徐的節奏十分出色，聽來跟《巴巴是你》的配樂非常像！ [/list] [b]不喜歡的點[/b] [list] [*]唯一比較不喜歡的點就是游標在面對複數多邊形小人時容易選取錯誤，尤其是場景座位較擁擠時，常常會標示錯誤的目標，導致我不知不覺中選取錯誤，進而打亂了原本排好的陣型。 [/list] [quote=author]If you like what I write, please consider a follow to [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45738167/]my curator[/url] page, thanks! 如果你喜歡我寫的東西，可以追蹤[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45738167/]我的鑑賞家[/url]喔！[/quote]

Is This Seat Taken? This is the kind of game you play when you’re tired of all those heavy AAA games with insane graphics. Is This Seat Taken? comes with a cartoony art style, featuring a world filled with soft cream tones and cute characters shaped like simple geometric forms. The core gameplay is actually pretty simple. You just need to arrange each character’s seat based on their preferences. Sometimes they want to sit near a window, avoid sitting next to someone who smells, or sit close to a specific person, and so on. There are five different chapters, each set in a different city. Every chapter has five levels, and each level takes place in a different setting like inside a bus, in a queue line, in a restaurant, a cinema, and more. As you progress, the characters’ preferences get more complicated, so you really have to think carefully about where to place everyone. Oh, and each chapter also has a bonus level, but it’s optional. You can unlock it after completing all the levels in that chapter. Overall, this is a really great game if you just want something light and refreshing after playing more demanding games. But don’t let the cute visuals fool you, this game can still seriously mess with your brain.

I played this game together with my 5-year-old daughter, and we both had a great time. It was really nice to see her manage most of the puzzles on her own — I only stepped in to help with the more challenging ones. The difficulty feels well balanced, making it accessible for younger players while still engaging for adults. The story is charming and the visuals are beautifully done, creating a great overall atmosphere that pulls you in. We played it on the Steam Deck, and it was a perfect fit for that kind of relaxed, shared experience. Overall, it’s a fantastic game that works both as a solo experience and as something you can enjoy together with your kids. I can definitely recommend it, especially if you’re looking for a game to play with your children.
