User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
The beginning with a car crash looks like a very cheap trick to catch your attention but the theme of the game is built around this incident and is kept in line. The gameplay is light - primitive fight system, no hair pulling puzzles, no movement challenges and it doesn't need it though. It's a comfortable walkthrough with cozy arts, enjoyable songs and without plot twists - everything is going to be fine. Overall It's just a nice game to spend an evening.

I love this game very much! Its story about sadness and hope, About nightmare and happiness, About death and life... Happy end is guaranteed! Special thanks for very atmosphere graphical and level design, quite animation, good story and interesting journey that keep alive at lease one man at the end. The meaning of the game is revealed only towards the end of the game, but that was the idea! I'll try Figment 2 too. Highly recommend this work of art!

TLDR: Like Bastion meets Pixarâs Inside Out. Itâs a fun and short game with good puzzles but a rather shallow experience. Its simplicity is its greatest strength and weakness. PROS: â
Well-written dialog â
Picture book artstyle â
Boss songs CONS: âA bit slow âBacktracking âShallow gameplay My Figment 2 review can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Synikx/recommended/1085220/ Content (Game world/Narrative/Length) â Game World: Figment is an overhead sidescroller similar to Bastion. In fact, Iâd be shocked if Bastion wasnât a direct inspiration for Figment. As you play through Figment, you traverse narrow pathways and solve puzzles to progress. The world is modeled after parts of the human mind, so youâll visit areas that relate to sound and hearing, and time coordination for example. Many of the collectables are memories of the personâs mind you are in. Generally Figment feels like a cross between Bastion and the Pixar movie Inside Out. Overall, I felt the game world was adequate. Nothing really impressed me, but I felt that it fit within the game that Figment is. I feel it could have been a bit more creative - perhaps more references to mental functionality baked in. It would have been really cool if the levels were more impaired by psychological concepts for example. Narrative: Figment starts out with what sounds like a family conversing in a car then immediately a car crash. The scene then shifts to Dusty, whom you control throughout the game. Dusty seems to be related to courage and is less than excited to be accompanied by his companion, Piper. The two then go on an adventure to stop the nightmare that stole Dustyâs memory book. Plot spoilers: As the game comes to a close, Dusty helps the mind heal and the father wakes up. Overall, I felt the narrative was fine. I am not sure whom the target audience is though because as juvenile and whimsical as the plot can be, Dusty swears a lot and especially at the beginning doesnât care about anything else but himself. Throughout the journey, the player gets to see Dusty grow and the actions he takes to do the right thing. Itâs not really grand and relatively simple, but it's still a good message. Length: I finished the game in a little over 4 hours. Gameplay (Mechanics/Difficulty) â Mechanics: Figmentâs mechanics constantly shift between combat and puzzle solving. I would say itâs about 70/30 in favor of puzzles. Combat is simple, thereâs a dodge role, a melee attack, and a charged melee with a circle AoE. Even the boss fights are very puzzle-oriented. You never engage directly with a boss, but rather must take them down through puzzles in the environment. The puzzles are fairly creative and I rather enjoy how the puzzles relate to the game world insofar as the theme of the human psyche. Youâll often be collecting batteries, wheels, and platforms to be able to proceed forward with the levels. Aside from collection thereâs things like moving blocks to shield you from waves of depression, and lighting up squares in a specific order to open pathways. Overall, the mechanics are fairly simple, but nevertheless, creative and fit with the theme. Difficulty: I did not find Figment very difficult. There doesnât seem to be any death penalty other than just retrying again. I didnât even die until towards the end. Combat is rather easy, but the damage you can take from the puzzles far outweighs the combat. Graphics (Quality/Performance) â Quality: I found the graphics to be okay. Itâs kind of PS3-era fidelity with a more crisp resolution. The main draw (pun intended) of the graphics is the hand-drawn art style. Since the game is from a far-away vantage point, a la Bastion, you never really get close enough to notice if the graphics are of lower quality. Performance: No issues from the tech side, I played flawlessly at 60FPS. I opted to use my Xbox controller over KBM due to the type of game it is with no aiming. i9-13900KF | RTX 4090 | 64GB RAM | 1440p @ 240hz | installed on SSD Audio (Sound Effects/Music) â Sound Effects: Okay sound effects. There are noticeable sounds that occur for all expected ingame events - puzzles, combat, and movement. Voice acting is also present, and it is good. Music: The music is probably one of the only things I would say that stands out in Figment in a good way. While none of the tracks are particularly memorable, each boss does have their own song that they sing which really adds to that âNightmare Before Christmasâ type of vibe where villains sing. Replay Factor (Longevity) â Not great. The only reason to replay is achievements, but the game will be the exact same. Final Verdict â Figment is a fun and short game, but it only scratches the surface of what could be possible. The combat is shallow, there are no RPG elements to entice progression, and the biggest collectable item, memories, are not exciting to bother with. But yet, Figment does have a solid foundation of a more psychological-oriented Bastion or Psychonauts that I would like to see developed to a deeper level. Perhaps the sequel builds upon this. Recommend? [Y/N] Yes, but only on sale. For $20, I would not recommend this, but I picked it up for a couple dollars. You can find my curator page here: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Synik_GR

The art style is whimsical and I enjoyed the story progression. It doesn't take a huge time commitment to play to the end of the game, but there's plenty of puzzles and objectives to work toward so it feels rewarding. The voice acting and the soundtrack is PHENOMENAL. The thing I struggled with the most was when I was trying to navigate the "waves of despair." The orientation of the waves were always diagonal and it was tricky to get a sense of where I needed to move and how to get past the obstacle. It was frustrating at first, but I was able to work through it without wanting to give up on the game. Looking forward to playing Figment 2!

Beautiful action game felt like a picture book with full voice casting. Only drawback is main character walking speed is some slow if there is some running movement it will be perfect.
