Woven Reviews

This is a game for kids, be warned, it is not a platformer and you just control Stuffy by mouse clicks, no WASD. Anyway, the game is very cute with rhyming narrator, beautiful woolly artstyle that is just heartwarming. The puzzles are fun and if you want to get all the skins and patterns you will have your work cut out for you.

It's time I actually left a review for this game. It's an all-time favourite and has been since launch, and I replay it at least once every year. Does this game have rough edges? Yes. Is it definitely not for everyone? Yes. If you're looking for a game that will challenge you, this is not it. If, however, you want to just chill out, wander around, and enjoy the vibe, this is an excellent one. The environments are gorgeous and extremely charming. The music is stellar. The narrator's performance is a delight, and the most perfect casting I can imagine for the game's storybook vibe. And the story, sparsely scattered throughout the game as it is, sneaks slowly up to deliver an unexpected emotional punch by the end. Add to that the creative play of the customisation system, as the sprinkles on top of an already lovely experience. This is very much a flawed gem; there are a lot of valid criticisms among the reviews. But if you're prepared to look past those flaws, Woven is 100% worth giving a shot.
