Candleman is a slow burner, and i'm not just saying that for the pun. Despite your little candle-person running as fast as they can with their little legs the game still feels a tad slow. But for this game that somehow added to the experience? As a 3D platformer it's sometimes hard to gauge the distance during your jumps. In candleman this also happens but not as much as it did in Arise. The levels are dark and sombre with great ambience and unique mechanics for each. While they don't particularly look the best they're still cool to see. It's a real 'indie charm' type of game, from the visuals to music & sound design and even some of the jank. But what particularly stood out to me was the game's ending. I won't spoil it ofcourse but i found it very inspiring and clever, a real high'light' of the game.
