Like it's predecessor, "Leaves - The Return" looks like a cute game in the promo videos and screenshots. Indeed, many of the graphics and the little creatures you find under the magnifying glass are quite cute, but don't let that fool you. I'm not going to lie, this is a tough puzzle game. Hardcore puzzlers should like this game. A few of the puzzles are very logical and straightforward, but many of them are quite difficult. I haven't played a lot of puzzle-heavy games, so maybe it's just me. I was determined to complete this game without a walkthrough, but I ended up needing help with a couple of mind benders just so I could proceed, as many of the puzzles give you an item you need to complete other puzzles, so I referred to a YouTube guide. There were 8 videos for the game, so I had to scan through them to find the puzzles that had me flummoxed. Thanks to YouTuber Fredericma45 Gaming. With all that, I still enjoyed the game. I would recommend this game and it's predecessor, "Leaves - The Journey" to puzzle fans.

This is a combined review of both the LEAVES games (Journey and Return). I absolutely can't get enough of the art style, the dreamy surreal landscapes and objects that feel like something recovered from a forgotten quirky artist's overgrown garden. The puzzles are everything from interesting and entertaining to repetitive and difficult but I just really like spending time in this world. Wouldn't mind another game in the series.

The tree has lost all its leaves. Let's help find the leaves while traveling through a surreal world full of aesthetic delights. 🍃🍃

IMPORTANT WARNING: Be sure to limit the frame rate and force vertical sync with an external app (like Nvidia Control Panel) or your CPU and GPU will blow up. Said that and putting it aside, the adventure is an AMAZING second chapter to the first adventure; basically, it's more of the same. If you enjoyed the first adventure, you'll absolutely love this one. It has some brand new puzzles with a higher level of complexity, and a new take on some old puzzles and mechanics. Love every second of it.
