One of the most deeply engaging puzzle games I have played in my entire life. The JOY of getting to sit with my insane amount of notes and theorise about every minute possibility of solutions is just, I kind of wish this game went on forever. Yet for my sanity, I'm glad it doesn't. I love this game <3

This game took me completely by surprise. The main reason I’m writing this review is, first, to say—it’s a great game. But more importantly, I want to help set the right mindset so that you can truly appreciate it, because there are very few games out there (if any) quite like this one. The main objective - finding Room 46 - plays like a fairly standard, linear puzzle or walking simulator experience (despite the whole business of starting from scratch each day). It’s engaging and enjoyable, and having a clear goal naturally directs you in achieving this goal. You start spotting obvious clues, make progress, until you beat it. But it’s what lies beyond Room 46 that sets this game apart. The sheer depth of additional puzzles and mysteries opens up an entirely different experience, one that diverges sharply from conventional gameplay. This is where you need to switch gears and adopt the mindset of a true detective. Take notes, snap screenshots, pay attention to the smallest details. Crucially, not only do you need to understand the meaning of each clue, but to figure out what it’s even a clue *for*. The game offers no hint system, no progress bar, no feedback on how close you are to solving anything. You’ll know when you’ve cracked a puzzle, but until then, you’re on your own in the best (and sometimes most maddening) way. Had I known what I was stepping into, I think the best mindset would’ve been like reading a detective novel, only this time, you are the detective. There’s a vast amount of reading in the form of in-game notes, many of which hide subtle hints to various puzzles. Piecing everything together takes patience, curiosity, and a willingness to enjoy the process, even when you’re totally in the dark about what a clue means, which puzzle it belongs to, or whether it even relates to anything you’ve seen so far. This can be frustrating if you’re not prepared for it, and I completely understand why someone might give the game a thumbs down because of that. But at the same time, I think it’s genuinely impressive how the developers have crafted something so unusual, so intricate, and so unlike anything else I’ve played. With the right attitude, as I hoped I managed to outline above, this game can deliver an experience that few, if any, others can match.

The game is absolutely great for the first 30 hours or so. It doesn't quite stick the landing, though. At first you think it's all pretty simple - just get to the 46th room and that's it. Then you start getting annoyed with the drafting mechanics. Then you realize you can manipulate the draft. Then you realize there's much more to the game than it initially seemed. Each runs gives you new information. Sure, you didn't get to solve those 3 puzzles that you have in the back of your mind, but you got 5 new clues to follow in the next run! You start screenshotting every single possible clue and writing down everything that looks strange. You now have 10+ clues to keep track of at any given time. How deep does this go??? You've seen the credits, but there's so much more to uncover. So you continue. The game keeps giving you more though. It's like a puzzle hydra - for every puzzle solved you get two more clues to follow. The puzzles get more and more cryptic. It's still fun, but now it gets tiring to go through the motions of drafting. But the game gives you more. Surely, after I unlock the 8 doors with 8 sigils the game will finally end? No. No it will not. You find even more options to manipulate the draft. But you just want it to end now. It's enough puzzles. IT'S ENOUGH PUZZLES. Here's some more puzzles. I'm tired, boss.... And a whole new location. With more puzzles in it. I don't think I have the tenacity to beat all of it. And that's the main problem: there is no satisfying conclusion to the game unless you force yourself into an obsessive hyperfocused frenzy. Even if you just want to finally see the true ending and CALL IT A DAY - cheats and guides won't help you all that much. I'm still recommending the game. Because it's genuinely unique and it does something different. And because the first third (fourth?) of the game is really-really fun to uncover. Just maybe don't expect to actually beat it.

This game was sold to me as "Outer Wilds mixed with Slay the Spire". This is both a good elevator pitch, but also kind of the root of my issues with the game. Blue Prince is, undoubtedly, a really good game. It is meticulously crafted, and overflows with attention to detail, great game design, and really immersive atmosphere. Like Tunic, Outer Wilds, and Animal Well, the game has layers to uncover, puzzles within puzzles, and you should 100% start taking notes the second you start playing, because every detail matters. However, the biggest thing that holds Blue Prince back from being as good as those other titles is that the rogue-like aspects clash with the puzzle aspects. "Outer Wilds mixed with Slay the Spire" is an apt description because it feels like there are two games within Blue Prince. Sometimes, they work well together, and this makes for an incredible experience. Sometimes though, they actively work against each other, and the result is frustrating. Without going into spoilers, the "endgame" of Blue Prince is a grindy mess, where the rogue-like elements fight you at every turn and you wish you could just turn them off. If you are hunting for a specific puzzle piece but you get unlucky, you can spend hours grinding runs without results. I still recommend the game, and I will still try to finish it because the puzzle elements are genuinely some of the best in that genre of knowledge-based games, I just wish there was a way to reduce all of the grinding that stands between the player and the puzzles. EDIT : Now on 100+ hours of play I still have a lot of mixed feelings about the game, and it has some weird game design decisions imo However, I cannot argue the objective fact that this is the best crafted and most intricate puzzle game I have ever played. I simply do not think I am ever going to play a puzzle with as much depth, thought, creativity and effort put into it in my lifetime There is a lot of care put into making sure that a single person can access and solve all of the puzzles on their own. The game gives a ton of redundancy and clues to help players figure out even some of the deepest secrets. There are some missteps, yes (the Gallery puzzle is a farce), but overall the game does an incredible job of giving players all of the tools and almost no leaps of logic.

This game is for a very particular type of person - someone who enjoys both puzzles AND rogue-likes. It's an unusual combination, and I think many of the negative reviews are from either puzzle fans who either don't like or aren't familiar with the way one progresses through a rogue-like game, or from rogue-like fans who find the switch to progressing through puzzles vs combat to be obtuse and frustrating. But if you're someone who actually likes both kinds of games, then you'll REALLY enjoy this, especially as a wonderfully novel and unique experience. The key to really enjoying the game, I think, is to remember that you progress through your own knowledge. Early on, you'll encounter a note suggesting that you might want to take notes. Please follow that advice. There are a huge number of subtle details that can provide a great deal of information and guidance, and which I'm sure the game would be much more frustrating if you either aren't pay enough attention to notice them, or if you're not writing them down so you forget them later when it turns out to be relevant. In particular, the player needs to learn the patterns of how certain rooms are drawn, and I don't just mean the obvious cases where the game spells out that taking a certain action will add a new room to your list of blueprints. There are patterns such as rooms that only appear on the west-most or east-most sides of the house, or the fact that a room, built for the day, will typically not appear as a blueprint option again. There are a huge number of patterns like this, and you need to learn them and use them to your advantage. Or else, yes, this will be a frustrating game. I think many players are treating the game as if the puzzles only exist INSIDE the rooms, but the truth is that most of the puzzles ARE the rooms - you need to puzzle out how to place the rooms to maximize the chances of getting the draws you need. Of course there are still randomized elements, but, to be quite honest, if you're here to leave a review about how you've been waiting for a particular room to show up for multiple hours, that's probably a sign that you're missing something important about how that blueprint is drawn, and are perhaps sabotaging your own efforts without realizing it.
