Gorogoa Reviews

I've always loved playing puzzle games and Gorogoa just surprised me. The game provides interesting mechanics, that it is more than just its illustrations, the music, and the way it tells a story-- i'm in awe. I love how it is far from easy, that you have to think it through what panels are connected and when you got it... it's just pure magic and an amazement to watch. I wish I could play more games like this :> Thank you for the experience.

Beautiful art and a creative and relaxing puzzle structure. Not too difficult but still challenging enough to be engaging. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

While I do not personally recommend the game, it may still be enjoyable if you play it for the art-style. The main reason that I do not recommend the game is that some (not all) of the puzzles are so far out that you can only discover the solution by trial-and-error. Those puzzles can really block progress. This is one of the very few games where I had to open up a walthrough for a few puzzles. The artwork of the game is really unique and - as mentioned earlier - worth it if you're into that kind of thing. The music is really relaxing and some of the puzzles are pretty fun.

This is a beautifully rendered, calm, and richly imagined puzzle game. Each puzzle leads you deeper into the world through manipulating the scene with rewards of small animated scenes as you complete each segment of the puzzle. No stress, and there are hidden clues to the solutions to reward deep exploration so you won't ever get stuck. Highly recommended.

Um dos melhores puzzles que joguei, interação e gameplay únicas, com ótima trilha sonora e design.

It has a pretty interesting concept, and feels quite unique even as a puzzle game. Just don't expect a challenge, it's more of an experience. It's very short so waiting for a sale might help if the price is too high for you.

Legitimately one of the best games I've ever played. It's insanely creative and it just hits the right spots especially with the godly soundtracks and overall audio design. Whoever plays this game will be left in awe at the end I'm sure.

much more challenging than i imagined. this game is definitely not for someone who sucks at puzzles (like me)...i hoped it would be more about the experience than actually troubleshooting over and over whilst listing the same repetitive SFX hammering into your skull. folks who like puzzles and are looking for a moderate challenge: this is for you. folks who are looking for a relaxing experience with little challenge, this is NOT for you. i am not recommending this to players who simply wanted to click through some beautiful imagery, enjoy a story, and move puzzle pieces to their obvious destinations. so if you're not great or patient with puzzles but want to enjoy the story (like me)- watch someone else play. to be clear: this is a good game, its just not for me nor is it as accessible as i had hoped (you know its not for you when the hints add to one's confusion) hence why i requested a refund and just watched some beautiful stranger playthough on youtube instead.

I’ve played a lot of puzzle games over the years, and Gorogoa just... does something different. It’s not about matching colors or solving riddles. It’s about seeing how things connect in ways you don’t expect. And when it clicks? Oh man, it’s so satisfying. The whole game takes place in this grid of four panels. Sounds simple, right? But here’s the twist: you can zoom in, slide panels around, stack them, peel them apart - like you’re rearranging pieces of a living, breathing picture book. And somehow, doing that moves the story forward. It’s like solving a puzzle and reading a story and watching a painting come to life, all at once. What really blew me away is how intuitive it feels. The game never tells you what to do. No tutorials, no dialogue. But it teaches you through play. You start poking around, and suddenly you’re peeling a window off a building and placing it over a completely different scene - and it works. It’s clever without being smug, and challenging without being frustrating (well, mostly. There were a couple moments where I stared at the screen like, “What do you want from me?”). The art is gorgeous. The music is subtle but beautiful, and it all adds up to this dreamy, meditative vibe. Now, heads up: it’s short. Like, you can finish it in a couple of hours. But honestly? That’s kind of perfect. It doesn’t drag, it doesn’t repeat itself, and it leaves you with that rare feeling of “I just played something special.” Plus, it’s been out for a while, so you can probably grab it on sale. TL;DR; Gorogoa is one of the most original and beautiful puzzle games I’ve ever played. It’s short, but every minute is packed with clever ideas, stunning art, and that rare kind of magic that makes you feel like you’re discovering something truly new. 8/10

I had some issues with the puzzles here, which could be really frustratingly opaque. There was a lot of going back and forth between panels, trying to figure out what I'd missed, and I hate the feeling of getting stuck enough that I have to go to a walkthrough, which happened several times as I played this. Plus there's one puzzle that depends on timing that I really did not enjoy, but I do have a bias against timed puzzles, especially on a computer. The design of the game and the atmosphere does make up for a lot of this frustration, though, It's lovely to look at and visually engaging as you move in between seeing pieces as animation, illustration, puzzle pieces, and frames. I just wish it was more intuitive so I could feel fully immersed, but of course ymmv on that score. I also think the nature of the storytelling, being fully visual, left me wanting something more concrete in terms of narrative. This is very much a vibes-based game, but it FEELS like there's a mythology behind it that I'm not quite allowed to know because the game won't use its words. Still, the vibes ARE enjoyable, and it's a short enough game to be worth checking out if you enjoy the visuals or just want to fiddle around with some slidey puzzles.
