One of the best games I've ever played It beat my expectations, twice! Great and emotional story, cool twists, story telling thru art, sweet little song and even (small) bossfights in a puzzle game! Simply wonderfull work Would be nice to have a dlc showing additional lore about why he was like that, no one is born evil right?

Crazy underrated game. Artistically, it's absolutely outstanding. The graphics and animations are gorgeous, the music is beautiful and thoroughly fitting, the narrative is intriguing and moving. And many such titles that heavily rely on art go down the walking simulator route, but Ugly is a proper puzzle game, and for the most part, for the better. Even if there's only one core ability, mirroring yourself, there's a good variety of additional mechanics that make puzzles more varied and interesting. Some of the puzzles require proper timing and platforming, so the game tests not only your thinking, but also ability to execute. There are also boss fights, which, I imagine, are contentious and some would say ill-fitting, but if nothing else, I enjoyed the spectacle. However, there are things I didn't like. Many puzzles are easy to fail, forcing you to start over, which isn't immediate, although, it's not the wait, it's the annoying chromatic aberration animation that bothered me most. Getting out of the puzzle room is often its own challenge, which is not my preference, I like it more when the puzzle ends once you reach the goal. Traversing the space between rooms too requires some puzzle solving mixed with platforming, which I found irritating and time-wasting, the game could use some downtime between challenges, and if you aim to fully beat the game, several puzzles have to be redone, which is mind-boggling. Overall, puzzles remind me of The Swapper , and I prefer them in that game. Still, despite some issues, I strongly recommend Ugly , it's an exceptionally well-made and underappreciated title that is a delight to experience.

This is a work of art. This game is a damn masterpiece, and it earns that title! The game revolves around a simple mirror mechanic, and it uses it to the fullest extent! Every new zone takes that mechanic and introduces something new, mechanics don't overstay their welcome. Simply put, the puzzle platforming in this game is wonderful! I will say that later levels will require more reflexes and reaction times tho. The art and soundtrack are wonderful as well, its both haunting and beautiful! And the story? Its very good! Its good and dark, very dark, kinda morbid? No spoilers! It's around 6 hours, and you can 100% the game in that time frame if you find all of the memories (They aren't really hidden tho they are very easy to find.) Basically, if you like what you see, GET IT!

This game has just the right level of difficulty in my opinion. The story is gripping and the gameplay is quite unique. It's one of those games where you can tell, the developers poured a lot of love and work into it. I love this game. Highly recommend!

Absolutely delightful puzzles! I thoroughly enjoyed the full package of story, art, and music on display. This game is severely under rated and deserves more attention and praise. If you enjoy Braid and other puzzle platformers definitely give this one a whirl. My nitpicks would be: 1. Some puzzles you can get into unwinnable states and require you to kill yourself. This feels a little like poor design, but it does fit the games themes nicely at least. 2. The screen get super zoomed out making it hard to appreciate the wonderful art. There is a zoom in button, which I held constantly when I wasn't trying to figure out the puzzles. I wish there was more of a happy medium here since some of the puzzles do require you to be super zoomed out. 3. The late game puzzles are really tightly timed platforming when the controls/physics don't quite feel accurate enough. Even once you figure out the solution some of these took way more tries then I would have liked. Again not a deal breaker, but good to be aware of. However the positives more then outweigh these critiques. Super memorable boss fights and level design that I will continue to think of long after completion.
