Black the Fall Review - A Dystopian Puzzle-Platform Journey

Black the Fall blends moody dystopian atmosphere with clever puzzle-platforming. While not revolutionary, its polished mechanics and thoughtful level design create an engaging escape from an oppressive factory. Despite minor issues, it's a satisfying 4/5 waffles for genre fans.

Black The Fall is a stressful game. It's very minimalist, both in terms of colour palette, and control scheme.

Part sideways scroller, part puzzle, part stealth game. You are unarmed, and you will die. A lot. Timing is everything, but it's not in a frenetic, bullet-hell kind of way, but in a tense, and drawn-out fashion.

A couple of levels in, you get the one device you can use in the game. It is not a weapon. Even that device leaves me feeling uneasy.

I am genuinely unsure of how I feel about this game. It's challenging. Spotting the solution to a puzzle, even if it's obvious, is satisfying. On the other hand, it's also quite stressful.

The stylised graphics, and the audio design are very well done

I'm not sure this game is fun, but Black The Fall is:

4: Good
