Stacking is one part point-and-click adventure, two parts walking simulator, and three parts collect-a-thon. You don’t need twitch gaming skills to succeed, but you do need plenty of patience to explore the world, talk to the characters, and watch the cutscenes to understand your goal. If all that sounds right up your alley, then this game is worth a shot. What hooked me towards wishlisting this game is the description of using different characters’ special abilities to solve puzzles. It reminds me of the Kirby series, where some abilities are common and can be used for multiple interactions, while others are rare and situationally useful. Additionally, most challenges are designed with multiple solutions, which encourages you to experiment. Ultimately, the game allows you to go at your own pace: once you finish the plot-related events and return to the hub area, you can freely return to those areas and they remain in a “post-game” state, so you don’t have to redo the cutscenes or mandatory obstacles, and you can get right to exploring. The game does have some flaws that could frustrate even the most patient players: - I encountered a black-screen bug and a game crash bug on separate occasions, but at least the game has generous auto-saves. - At least once, an alternative solution to a puzzle was credited as one that I already did, though the game corrected itself later. - If insanity is trying the same thing again and expecting different results, then the game can drive you nuts when you swear you found an interaction that should have worked and yet the game refuses to allow it. - Whenever you leave an area with incomplete checklists, the game pops up a screen saying so and challenges your dedication, which flies in the face of what I said above about being allowed to play at your own pace.

Relaxing puzzle game where you take control of (stack into) matryoshka dolls, taking advantage of their different skills to solve puzzles. Full of the Double Fine charm. 100% played on Steam Deck without any issues. The downside is that it's locked to 30fps.

A fun game with a cool and polished stacking ability! That's right, this game does a good job on its central premise! More seriously though, this is a nice adventure game with a well thought out mechanic that's both unique and fun. This game does have some "Gross-Out" humor, but it's not *too* bad. (If you're interested in a game centered around Matryoshka dolls, go get this game!)

No matter what comes from the realm of Double Fine, I always applaud them for trying to be different come every title. Stacking is one of the most unique games you could ever try and play. The setup is astonishingly simple. Work as a stacking doll going around the map level you are put into and utilise the various characters and environments to help solve various puzzles. What more I like about this is how its executed. You have a great level of guesswork and from what I recall some big head-scratchers on how to get that X stacking doll in the right place to nab them. Its a touch frustrating, but never anything that I would call too hard or difficult. Honestly what shines the most here is the world itself. I never thought to see something like a stacking dolls environment, but I love hot genuinely clever the world, machines and even the fun way everything comes together. And let it be said the design work for the dolls are always so creatively unique and so detailed. Every sound and visual makes that one doll as striking as it does and feed back to the play well enough on what that one doll's role is. Overall I would strongly recommend this game and praise it for its visuals, music, charm and genuine everything that makes a Double Fine game so marvelous to behold. Absolutely a wonderful treasure to include in your library. Stack on, friends!

It's a game for children, but done in a very charming way with rather unique game mechanics. Quite short, and with fairly easy puzzles - an enjoyable romp.
