Soundtrack is enchanting, boss battles are accompanied by musical performances, creating a unique and immersive experience. The gameplay is combination of exploration, puzzle-solving and combat.

This game offers a unique blend of art, music, and gameplay, creating an unforgettable adventure.

Highly recommended. 10/10

Cool story and visuals but nothing mind blowing, the very short runtime is definitely not worth £21 but its worth playing if you buy it on a big sale or get it through a bundle.

This game is currently in the Humble Choice for July 2024, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before August 6th, 2024, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.

Inside Out the game.

Figment is a series set in a human brain. Players take on the role of Dusty, a character who has to fight his way through the mind. On his trip, he’ll fight the fears of the man whose mind he’s inhabiting as he’s dealing with buying a house or work/life balance. However, the focus is on the innovative ideas at play as the character explores the mind.

These can be anything from opening and closing the character’s mind to progress and talk to various creatures, to fighting the embodiment of a fear of the dark. There are a lot of clever concepts in here, and the fact that each boss encounter has a unique song is good.

Still, Figment 2 had a nasty habit of taking two steps forward and one back often. The first boss and song were excellent, as was the second. However, the Mayor’s song just felt more annoying and tedious. Many puzzles are good but every once in a while, a puzzle has a lot of backtracking. The experience is mostly good, but mostly, not always. Also, there’s a lack of variety in bosses, and the whole game is only about five hours long. The only actual negative thing I’ll say is the game just tosses you in the middle of the story. Perhaps the game is assuming you played the first title, or maybe this just doesn’t have the best opening but it’s not a huge criticism, you get the idea of what’s going on quickly.

Pick this up if you want a novel or interesting world to explore with some clever ideas but are also willing to put up with a weaker package, to get at those moments of inspiration the developers had. I liked this game quite a bit, but I can also say it still didn’t fire on all cylinders like it should have.

Also, just a quick mention there is a Disney character named Figment, who was a purple dragon on the ride Journey into the Imagination. I have a pin of him on my shelf. Last month, it was announced that Journey into Imagination is being replaced by Inside Out. RIP Figment. Not a big thing about the game, just some interesting coincidences.
