Dec. 2024

I will just start with this game has its jank, and the mini game levels kinda pull me out every time. I honestly dreaded having to move those dang cubes. But man, the story was so satisfying! I loved every moment and I wanted to know every juicy detail. While the ending felt very rushed, there was a lot for me to contemplate. If you are looking for a good dystopian scifi story with some cool inventory puzzles, I cant recommend it enough to give this game a try.

I have kind of deja vu with this game because I'm not sure if I already played it years ago or not... it seems kinda familiar though and not sure why but it reminds me of Syberia games.

very atmospheric, a hidden gem. Stuck once or twice, used a tutorial but otherwise the story is captivating. The soundtrack is one of the greatest in video games btw.

July 2024

Really fantastic game, I just completed it. I love the story and vibe! It's an open world game combined with block puzzle minigames. Really fun, and if you can't figure out a minigame, you can skip it without any consequences. The game of course has some stuff that could use tweaking, but all in all it feels very much like a small piece of a triple A title. The universe that the studio has created in this game is absolutely incredible, what a beautiful experience. The only negative thing about Cradle is that you are left yearning for more!

Feb. 2024

Janky, rough around the edges, hard to understand, cult classic. The Eastern European Special. Fantastic game with clunky controls and gameplay, but features an engaging mystery that must be pieced together by the player. It features explorations of philosophical and religious themes, and a dystopian society that's uncomfortably close to our own.
