My thumb is so sore after doing this game, that I can barely call it a "thumbs up" review (maybe 6.5/10 rating), particularly as I ventured into this one right after finishing "Braid", another "body double" game in which you have to control not only yourself but your mirror image as well. That said, it took me awhile to get the hang of things and lay of the land after which followed a long period of enjoyment and satisfaction in finishing the sequences. On the negative side, the "after game-game" became a nightmare of metroidvania-like rapid punching of the "Z" button (which I hate) and I died a thousand deaths in every test until I threw in the towel a couple rooms before full completion. Enough is enough and this game did, indeed, grow quite ugly to me in the end. One and done here.
This is a great addition to the puzzle platformer genre with some caveats. The majority of puzzles in this game are well designed and reminiscent of Braid and Portal. The main mechanic of teleporting along a mirrored axis is elegant and makes for some great puzzles. It expands your mind, using this unique mechanic to figure out how to navigate the levels. The person who designed these puzzles clearly understands what makes a puzzle satisfying - it's not the complexity of the solution, but the conceptual breakthrough that you need to solve each one. The puzzles are generally simple, but with a clever elegant solution that you have to think about for a minute before coming to the answer. None of them are quite as clever as the titans of the puzzle game genre like Baba is You, but they are meaty and interesting. Additionally, this game brings in some modern metroidbrania elements. As your understanding of the mechanics progresses, you'll discover new places that you didn't even realize were always reachable. It's fun to re-explore areas you thought you had cleared with fresh eyes. Finally the story and atmosphere are incredible, with several intense and memorable moments which I won't spoil. But now the caveats - a bit too much of this game relies on tricky platforming to add difficulty. It seems like the majority of this game was designed by someone who loves puzzles, and then about 15% was designed by someone who loves Celeste, Hollow Knight, Super meat boy and games of this type. I don't mind that kind of challenge in general, but not when I'm looking to relax with a nice cerebral puzzle game. The dexterity based levels (which become increasingly common towards the end of the game) are very finicky to execute requiring very precise jumps and timing. Several are quite unforgiving will require a dozen attempts or more. Maybe it's just personal preference but these felt too numerous and too precise in this game which was otherwise heavily focused on a deep understanding of the mechanics of the game rather than making jumps with perfect timing. Several almost made me give up, but the better parts of the game kept me playing until the end.
one of the most brilliant puzzle platformers ive played in a while, i highly recommend this game to anyone who loves puzzle games the puzzles are decently difficult, with each new level introducing a new creative way to implement the gimmick/mechanics story-telling was done nicely through the character's memory flashbacks and the environment design (i can feel that every details in the background are drawn with thorough consideration in mind to convey what the story wants to tell u)
Buy the game on sale and play act 1, it's easy for those who play a lot of puzzlers. but gorgeous and good fun. I originally didn't recommend the game because act 2 is just dog water, but the 3 to 4 hours of act 1 make up the vast majority of the game and are great by themselves. Act 1 is a self contained finished story, just go in and once you see the credits roll, quit the game and leave having enjoyed yourself. If this game ended after Act 1 I'd give it a positive review. It's gorgeous and the puzzles are fun yet don't ever provide much of a challenge, nice entry level puzzle game. However this game has act 2, there is not a single act 2 puzzle I encountered that I enjoyed. The team doesn't seem to know how to design a difficult puzzle, so instead of complicated thought provoking hard mode puzzles they give you puzzles that require boring amounts of precision. Not even to mention how they toss away the gorgeous custom levels for repetitive red blobs. I did enjoy the first half, but I can't give the game a positive review with that 2nd act. Maybe i'll come back and try finishing things. But I don't see the point in playing a game that's just not fun.
Contrary to the title, Ugly is a very beautiful game in both mechanics and storytelling. I'm not the best at puzzle games, nor are they often my first picks but this was pleasant, albeit somewhat linear experience. 100%ing the game wasn't that difficult, but I will admit there are certainly parts (the main gimmick of part 2 and one of the bosses) that felt difficult not because of a skill difference but because they were just rather rough, at least to me. Overall, I'd say it's a very good game, 8/10, buy it if you like simple yet fun mechanics and dark but amazingly told stories. The song at the end of part 3 is also very good.
