Manifold Garden had the potential to be one of the best puzzle games I've ever seen and instead is mostly one of the most impressive tech demos. The actual game is nominally a puzzle game with exploring vast empty tesseracts and trying to figure out what the goal supplants a structured puzzle experience. Which isn't to say that there aren't actual puzzles. Half solve themselves and the other half are really really fun and force you think in new ways. The game breaks down into 3 mechanics. 1. Navigating these looping tesseracts. Which let's you say, fall down and end up on top of the building. 2. Changing your own orientation. There are six orientation corresponding to a cube so you can functionally climb walls or redefine what the wall is. This lets you fall left and end right on the above, for example. 3. Finally the cubes. There are cubes that are aligned with one or two vectors and color coded. You need to get the cube to it's hole to finish the puzzle or generally interact with the level when they're just hanging out there. There's also two minor mechanics (water and blocks), but eh, you get it. It's a 6/10 game that could have been 10/10. In the middle when there was structure, puzzles rooms, I felt like I was learning. I was changing how I interacted with the mechanics and it was phenomenal. But for the most part I was just lost and most of the rooms that you have to trigger something to advance just require you to experience them more than put 2 and 2 together.
Manifold Garden is two games, both with incredible potential but both failing to properly explore that potential. At its base, Manifold is a uniquely freeing and beautiful game. Gone are level borders, instead having the world continuously loop in every direction, and having you traverse between levels through portals. Instead of a jump button, you can freely rotate the world around you to 6 different directions, each with a respective colour code. The art style is minimalist in a way that sharply defines every edge of each surface. This works perfectly for a game where your movement finesse is reliant on understanding the position and direction of every surface around you. The sound design is cinematic and booming in a way that sells the infinite size of the world(s) in the garden. In terms of aesthetics, this game is an easy 10/10. Most of the reviews here are about the any% (or "normal") route, so I will only touch on it briefly: The any% route is a walking simulator that occasionally presents you with puzzles, ones that take longer to parse than to solve. The gravity blocks are where most of these puzzles are based around, and they are very fun to work with. Unfortunately, these puzzles barely get more complex than they are at the start of the game, with most involving you performing one trick with a couple of blocks (and not even the coolest ones you can do with them). Other mechanics are later introduced but are neglected just as much. The game seems much more interested in flaunting its grand world, with many rooms just having you traversing intricate architecture to find reach the next portal. Don't get me wrong, it's all very cool, but makes the game feel empty of substance. I didn't even understand the hub until my second playthrough, I just went where the game took me. A standard run of this game only requires you to view the world, not understand it, and I think that's a real shame. -- (Mild spoilers from here on out) -- Then there's the other side of Manifold Garden, the hidden side, experienced mostly through the "God Mode" (or 0%) run. Throughout the world there are some extremely hidden paths that allow you to take an entirely different passage to the end. I did not find these on my own, having a friend instead tell me which rooms each secret was in. Apart from the mindless searching, I could call my God Mode run one of the best gaming experiences I've had in a while, but not for reasons the game intended. God Mode offers both new enclosed, standalone puzzles and larger, open ended meta puzzles which involve transporting blocks from different parts of the world. The new standalone puzzles were a let down, there were some decent rooms but overall it was still quite basic. The meta puzzles is where the insanity begins, and where I need to bring up the biggest issue with this game. Manifold Garden is buggy, extremely buggy. Collision will break, objects will deload, buttons will freeze and your character will get stuck on awkward geometry. I was lucky enough to have these bugs only serve as a mild inconvenience, sometimes even acting as new problems to be solved, but this was only because I had an unconventional route through God Mode. For most players, this will break the route's most fun challenge and could softlock them, forcing a manual reload. This is unacceptable, especially when the game has sections that require you to perform long, repetitive tasks and form fragile setups. It destroys all immersion in the game and it blows my mind that such obvious bugs went unfixed upon launch and remain in the game to this day. Even though most of this review has been complaining, my thoughts on Manifold Garden lean positive overall. It has its shortcomings, but is so unique and novel that I can't help but appreciate it. I'd rather play a game that is both great and terrible than one that is derivative and tepid, though I hope that one day someone will take this concept much further.
I have only played what I assume to be about a third of the way through this game, and I can already tell you that it is one of the best puzzle games I have played in the last few years. To me it feels like a mix between Portal 2's button and cube type puzzles, Superliminal's crazy illusions and tricks. The amount of heart put into this game is staggering. If you enjoy the games I listed before, You should pick this one up.
Absolutely loved the game and 100%ing it. Pretty easy but immensely satisfying - and incredibly pretty. Environment design is top-notch, I couldn't get enough of the views. The music was stunning too. I stopped and closed my eyes every time the OST started playing when entering a new room. The main difficulty is finding stuff when it isn't placed in obvious places (which happens several times) because, honestly, trying to create a mental map of the world is a futile task. Finding all secrets for the alternative ending pretty much has to be done with a guide. That's still fun though, and the alternate path offers some fun headscratchers, like the long ball puzzle - which might actually be my favourite puzzle in the game . Linux translation stuff: Proton 9 started crashing the entire Wayland session on every Manifold God cutscene from purple onwards. Proton 10 and 11 don't crash but they also display no animation. You can skip as normal, and the Manifold Gods will still be there as normal for you to look at them afterwards, so you aren't missing much. The endings render as normal.
