How Long Is Gorogoa?

Puzzle Perfection
Every discovery in this beautiful hand-drawn experience is so carefully hewn that you can practically feel the pieces sliding into place. A masterpiece of design that doesn’t overstay its welcome.
Rare achievement
This review is for the Nintendo Switch version
I can count on one hand the puzzle games I've played that have replay value, but Gorogoa has it in spades
Quick, Interesting Puzzler
A beautiful quick indie puzzle game with some really neat ideas!
Pure art.
It's impossible to describe Gorogoa in words. All the sentimentality and complete harmony in all of its elements, together with an innovative gameplay, make this a unique game that will hardly be replicated.

Short and simple puzzle game included in Game Pass. It takes less than 2 hours to complete, no guide needed. It looks beautiful and it has some of those "Aha!" moments that I love in puzzle games. I didn't feel engaged by the narrative, but it's a good game overall.
Just as I'm writing this I noticed that it was also available on iPad, which seems like the best way to play it, honestly. Give it a try!
While I enjoyed Gorogoa, I can't say I loved it. I recall playing the demo in 2012 and being super excited. It's beautiful, and I enjoyed the somber tone, and overall puzzle design. It's just that the puzzles themselves didn't resonate with me. It wasn't particularly difficult, but with a lot of them I didn't get that "aha!" moment that the Portal devs spoke about. I got the "Oh, you could click that?" moment instead. A lot of them felt hollow as a result. I didn't feel like I solved them because of my own skill, but rather because I experimented enough. Which, I guess, in this game IS the skill. Again, it's not bad at all. Short (which at this point in my life I love), and worth a play if you like puzzle games. It's just not the knockout I had hoped it'd be.
I ordered this from iam8bit a year ago, but it was tied up with my Kentucky Route Zero preorder, so it has been a long painful wait.
This game is fucking great. Gorgeous artwork and a very clever core concept. Annapurna's list of game releases are all games I either love or just haven't played yet. Their logo is a real seal of quality for me.
I'm still undecided how I feel about this game. It's really cool, but I find the controls obtuse.
I suspect it plays better on larger screens. Currently not recommended on mobile.
Great unique puzzle game on the iPad. Gets wonderfully complex and interesting in the last two big puzzles before the final one as it plays with perspective in really cool ways. A real “a-ha! moment” type of game without entering frustrating or overly long territory. I feel dumb for letting it sit in the backlog for so long, but better late than never!
If you like puzzle type games with a bit of a Monument Valley vibe about them then I can really recommend Gorogoa. It’s not very long (a couple of hours maybe), but that can be a good thing, quality over quantity etc. It plays very well on an iPad, which in my opinion adds to the chill-out factor. It took the developer 6 years to make it and it’s clear that it’s a real labour of love.
Another game on my highly anticipated list. The hand drawn panels are beautiful and the puzzles are elegantly designed. The pannel matching mechanic is quite satisfying. Gorogoa is already is running high on my list of favourite games of 2017.
