This week, the Pocket Gamer App Army tackled the puzzle adventure A Fragile Mind from Glitch Games. The game, a twist on the classic escape room formula with added humor, received mixed reviews. While some praised its challenging yet engaging puzzles and witty writing, others felt the presentation fell short.
Here's a summary of App Army member feedback:
Swapnil Jadhav initially underestimated the game based on its logo but found the gameplay unique and highly engaging, recommending tablet play for optimal experience.
Max Williams described it as a point-and-click adventure with static pre-rendered graphics. While appreciating the clever puzzles and fourth-wall-breaking humor, he noted some navigational confusion and readily available hints. Despite this, he found it a strong example of the genre.
Robert Maines enjoyed the first-person puzzle solving, though found the puzzles challenging and the graphics and sound unremarkable. He felt the game lacked replayability after completion.
Torbjörn Kämblad, however, found the game underwhelming. He criticized the muddy presentation, awkward UI design (menu button placement), and pacing, resorting to hints frequently.
Mark Abukoff, despite generally disliking puzzle games, found A Fragile Mind enjoyable, praising its aesthetics, atmosphere, and helpful hint system.
Diane Close likened the gameplay to a complex Jenga game, highlighting the abundance of interwoven puzzles and the importance of note-taking. She appreciated the numerous visual and audio options and the game's humor.
