“Do you remember, back when you were a kid, and on the playground some other kid would be saying excitedly, "I heard that if you do this complicated set of button presses and actions in Super Mario 64, you can find…”

“This game is as hostile as it is absorbing. It's hard, obscure and slow-paced. Completely unsuitable for those who just want to kill some time, but if you're willing to dedicate your time and unravel its secrets, it can…”

“The 4-eyed statue is the most cruel and horrific feature in any game I have ever played. 10/10”

“Void Stranger has some interesting elements going for it. There’s a lot of content with its several hundred puzzles and some neat mechanics behind them that help the game avoid getting stale too quickly, while at the…”

“This is a cautious thumbs up. First, what I liked about this game: lots of secrets. What I did not like about this game: all the damn backtracking. It's actually really satisfying to play through, but finding the…”

“The game doesn't really respect your time as a player is the short and sweet of it. A lack of undo button and ways to easily navigate to previous levels means you're spending hours fixing a mistake you made by…”

“Not particularly interesting puzzles with a lot of intentional tedium and interface friction, and bad writing. Some of the meta layers were interesting, but were not worth getting to.”

“A lot of people will tell you something euphoric about unravelling the deep secrets hidden within this game. I can't say the game ever persuaded me that it was worth engaging with like that—nothing about the (fairly…”

“Really wanted to like this, but the secrets are more of an annoying timewaster than a fun mystery to solve. If you accidentally walk onto the stairs while solving some of the more advanced puzzles, prepare to waste 20+…”

“AVOID. I get it now. Void Stranger is a solid puzzle game that quietly turns into a note-taking, diagram-drawing meta puzzle where you’re expected to figure out rules the game won't explain. If you’re into that, cool,…”
