Dec. 2024

No matter what comes from the realm of Double Fine, I always applaud them for trying to be different come every title. Stacking is one of the most unique games you could ever try and play. The setup is astonishingly simple. Work as a stacking doll going around the map level you are put into and utilise the various characters and environments to help solve various puzzles. What more I like about this is how its executed. You have a great level of guesswork and from what I recall some big head-scratchers on how to get that X stacking doll in the right place to nab them. Its a touch frustrating, but never anything that I would call too hard or difficult. Honestly what shines the most here is the world itself. I never thought to see something like a stacking dolls environment, but I love hot genuinely clever the world, machines and even the fun way everything comes together. And let it be said the design work for the dolls are always so creatively unique and so detailed. Every sound and visual makes that one doll as striking as it does and feed back to the play well enough on what that one doll's role is. Overall I would strongly recommend this game and praise it for its visuals, music, charm and genuine everything that makes a Double Fine game so marvelous to behold. Absolutely a wonderful treasure to include in your library. Stack on, friends!

It's a game for children, but done in a very charming way with rather unique game mechanics. Quite short, and with fairly easy puzzles - an enjoyable romp.

Stacking is one of Double Fine's hidden gems. I grew up playing this game so there's a bit of nostalgia chucked in there, but you cannot fault the concept. I've never played another game with a similar premise and the silent movie element of the game makes it perfect thematically. I would love to see more people know about this game because it's just so unique and deserving of it's place amongst Double Fine's ranks. Be open and go along for the ride and there's fun to be had.

One of my all time favourite games. I'd love a sequel but have never found anything remotely like this. So unique and replay-able.

July 2024

While this game is not particularly mindblowing, the russian stacking dolls mechanics, silent film story style and fun character gimmicks make it one that is memorable and years from now, I'm sure I'll still have vague blurry memories of "that one russian doll game" - Really though, it's a great little puzzler that was just the right amount of challenging. I do feel like the extra level of the Hobo King became too much of a good thing after the original storyline and I was more than ready to move on from this by the end of that. Other than that, this was a lovely little gem. ♡
