This game makes me feel like Baba Is You makes me feel. AKA, I feel super smart and then that feeling is immediately ripped away from me at the next puzzle.

Baba is You + Tunic is the best description I can give. Lots of freedom and tons of really satisfying puzzles, as well as some free-form exploration and discovery of new mechanics. Very little new "skills" are learned. The game is very much a knowledge metroidvania akin to Tunic / Outer Wilds, while also being a difficult puzzle game like Baba is You, and I really love it for that. I hope the developers continue to add puzzles and mechanics, but as-is it is a very satisfying 10-20 hours of puzzle content.

Pâquerette Down the Bunburrows is a very delightful puzzle game that is all about pathfinding and catching bunnies and making bunny babies! This is an example of one of few puzzle games that stick to a type of puzzle (in this case path finding) and really double down on it and expand all the possibilities of this single type of puzzle into an extremely well defined and thoughtful masterpiece. This is one of only a handful of puzzle games that I can say has attained the "masterpiece" level in terms of puzzle games, with some of the other entries into this being The Witness and Void Stranger, among others. Your main character is Pâquerette, a girl that lives and breathes everything Bun-related, and is brave enough to dive down into the Bunburrows to capture all of the Buns to add to her personal Bun collection. The object of the game is simple: Go into a Bunburrow and capture all the Buns in it. It starts out really simple in the West Burrow, but when you get to the Temple and Hell stages , things get so much more complicated that you end up having to play 4D Chess with the Buns in order to capture them all. This is further exacerbated by the fact that you can capture the Buns in two different ways. The first way is by doing anything possible to capture them (non-home capture), and the second way is to Home Capture them, which is a mechanic that has a lot of little intricacies built into it, but basically means that you have to figure out how to capture them on the screen in which they appear without restricting their movement options . Generally, the Home Captures of every Bun are more difficult that just regular catching of the Buns. . And this is just the beginning of what you have to do in this game. There are plenty of secrets that you have to uncover if you want to 100% this game, and secret methods of which to open up new areas to explore and catch Buns in. What I really enjoy about this game is that the further down you go, the more interconnected the map becomes, and the more options for ingenious puzzles there are. Eventually, in order to reach new areas in the game, you'll have to learn about a secret technique to destroy walls that you cannot do yourself, but which the Buns CAN (I'll leave it to you to figure out how) . Now, in terms of difficulty, this game is definitely up there, and the difficulty ramps up pretty quickly. The first area, which is the Western Bunburrow, is fairly straight forward, but the next Bunburrow, which is the Northern Bunburrow increases the difficulty by at least 75%, and by the time you reach the end stages of the game, the difficulty is very high. Now don't get me wrong, the game in and of itself isn't in the realm of FEZ or Baba is You level difficult, but there are some very difficult parts in the late game, especially when you start getting into the meta puzzles that this game offers. The only thing that I am a little sad about in terms of this game is that the music, while great, can end up becoming grating if you play for long periods of time because the tracks aren't too long, and it seems as though there's only one track per area. While I know that the development team for this game is small, I still would have liked to have seen maybe two possible tracks per Bunburrow and having the music that loops in the Bunburrows be a bit longer as well so as to not become as grating as it eventually does in a long play session. So here are the pros and cons: Pros: *Ingenious level and puzzle design that takes one type of puzzle and elevates it to the point that it literally becomes refined art. *The graphics for this game bring back a lot of nostalgia and are perfect for this type of game and are really pleasing on the eye. *The difficulty curve for the puzzles is manageable for the most part. There are a few exceptions which I will bring up later. *There are a variety of options, including the ability to fully rebind the controls (I believe), as well as window size, resolution, full screen/not full screen, and sound and music levels, among other things. There's probably more pros that I am forgetting about, but if I remember them, I will edit this review to add them. Neutral: *The music can become grating over longer play sessions. Consider making the tracks longer or adding more tracks per Bunburrow so that there is more variety in what you are listening to. * Some of the meta puzzles in the game are either way too difficult for the game or are very esoteric in finding the solution to them. In addition, some of the Buns in the Hell area require very esoteric solutions. This problem isn't really a big one, which is why it isn't in the Con part of this review. Overall, this is a masterpiece of a puzzle game that any puzzle game fan should definitely pick up at any price and is an overall high recommendation to get.

Highly, highly recommended. Each puzzle is meticulously designed to prevent unintentional solutions. Rooms also have high densities of red herrings meant to distract from their actual solution, which forces you to plan ahead and actively understand the logic behind each puzzle and its solution. On top of the high difficulty of each puzzle, there's a dauntingly complex system of secret hunting layered over the primary puzzles that demands a perfect understanding of the mechanics of the game to fully unravel. After 15 hours of playtime, I've completed most of the primary puzzles, but I'm still only beginning to unravel these secondary systems of progression. Paquerette Down the Bunburrows is a masterpiece. It marries the traditional, relentless structure of puzzle games like Snakebird and Stephen's Sausage Roll with the intricate, non-linear challenges of The Witness and Baba is You, and it deserves to stand at the same level as these classics. If you enjoy puzzle games, you owe it to yourself to buy this.
