Before I get to that, I'll lay out some positive things.Pros+ Relaxing pace+ Pleasant music that meshes well with the world+ Absolutely full of style+ Competent platformingNow for the unfortunate downsides...Cons- The CreaVures themselves do not follow eachother, forcing you to swap between them to progress, even in areas of little to no obstacles- No co-op. The previous con could have been entirely nullified by this, though it would leave the single player experience the same. The setup is all but asking for local on-screen co-opIt makes me really sad that I have to give this game a thumbs down, but since those things were important to me, I had no choice.However, if you can deal with those cons, this game is totally worth it.. While the game is charming and the graphics are alluring (if you like the neon aesthetic), the controls and overall gameplay are just unbearable. These are the most clunky platforming controls I've ever encountered, especially when it comes to swinging. There's no real precision and through the entire stretch of the game I made it through I found myself frustrated. To make matters worse, the "creavures" don't follow each other. This means you have to basically do everything in the game twice, back to back, to finish the levels. I'd much prefer the Trine approach, where you could swap characters on the fly.Overall the game was somewhat enjoyable. I gave this one a fighting chance because I could tell there was a vision in this and there was a certain charm. Unfortunately, even after forcing myself through 3 hours of the messy controls, I just couldn't push myself to finish it. Can't really recommend it. It's pretty to look at, but frustrating to play.. It's a shame that more effort wasn't put into the gameplay mechanics as they were into the visuals. Creavures is pleasent to look at and somewhat unique with its environments and creatures lit up with bioluminescence as if everything was under a dark-light but the actual mechanics of playing are very barebones. I wouldn't even call it a puzzle platformer since the only teamwork from critters done by simply sending one of them ahead to use their special skill to allow another to pass and the same ideas are used over and over again. This isn't like the Lost Vickings where you have a brain-teaser, its literally a case of just seeing the same obstacle over and over again and knowing which critters to send first.Worse still is that you have to move each critter yourself, they don't follow each other. So you end up going through the same platforming section mutiple times. There is also no really challnging platforming either and the controls are clunking and sluggish. This would have been so better had it been more like Ori and the Blind Forest with you using different creatures to progress but it just doesn't that fluid or fast-paced. You trudge through the levels from left to right as if this game has learned nothing from platformers since the days of Super Mario Bros. Just give this a miss or buy it for very young children because there are no lives nor any significant consequences for running into enemies, you just bounce off of them. The controls are also just the movement and 2 buttons so anyone could sit down and figure this out.. Fun! Not a difficult game by any stretch, but the atmosphere, music, and gameplay were very enjoyable. Provides several hours' worth of casual gameplay in a darkly-lit, surreal world. The cooperative aspect of the game was well-done. And the characters are adorable.. This game is one huge bug. The controls are boasted in reviews to support both XBox and PS3 controllers, well, guess what? It doesn't work with PS3 gamepad AT ALL. The game recognizes that I plugged a gamepad in, but it defaults to Xinput, shows me buttons from XBox gamepad to press, and my PS3 buttons do not work. I had to use a 3rd-party app to map controls along, but they still work only partially, and, well, I just give up. Even with keyboard the controls are awkward and frustrating, random buttons in random places, the characters either overjump or jump not far enough, etc. Also, opening Setting page after you just loaded the game leads to... black screen. If you were running it fullscreen - hello hard reset! It looks to me that even the developers didn't play their own game, otherwise they would have seen this bug.The only good thing about this game is visuals, but the bad controls butchered it for me.. From the first second Bitey appeared on the screen, I was hooked. It was one of the most relaxing experiences I'd ever encountered. The characters each have distinctive and charming personalities; they seem real, more so than many human characters in games. The rainforest is absolutely stunning, even at a lower resolution. The bioluminescence creates a soothing visual that relaxes the mind. The music adds to this soothing effect, with its mystical tone and flowing melody. The only negative point I can think of is its length; the game ends so quickly, while I want to explore more of the world presented in the game. But for this cheap price its really okay and worth it.. This game is so artistically done and truly wonderful. It is pretty short(though i'm not finished it yet) but it's really cute. The colour concept is fun and makes certain things in the game really pop out. The creature characters are fun and each one has traits and abilities that you use in the game to help solve the puzzles. I originally got the game because of the crazy colour scheme but it won me over with the weirdly cute creatures and the interesting game mechanics of having to use multiple characters to get through scenerios.
