July 2025

I think Schein got a bit too much unfair criticism - note how many reviews complain about the precision platformer genre rather than the game itself. That being said, the game's not impressive: the aesthetic can leave a bit to be desired, the environments are all pretty samey (or consistent) and I agree that the voice acting could be better (even though it did add flavor to the game), to the point I couldn't help but laugh out loud at a specific line near the end. The story is concise and I haven't found any secrets. BUT. As a puzzle precision platformer, it delivered. The mechanics are straightforward and worked pretty well. The difficulty of both the platforming and the puzzles does not go wild at any point, and it kept the right balance between being challenging but also fun, without turning that frenetic or repetitive thanks to the fact that you'll have to hit the brakes and give some thought to the puzzles before taking action. The progression is linear but you can easily revisit previous levels in case you want to hunt for all the collectibles. It's fairly short and it didn't overstay its welcome. I finished it before I knew it and I have to admit I ended up kind of enjoying the negative points I mentioned before; now I find Schein as a whole a pretty charming experience, slight mediocrity included. Recommended? Very much, especially at this cheap price, but only to those into puzzles AND precision platformers.
