Well...
Forma.8 is a beautiful and somewhat relaxing puzzle exploring game, but that all it has going for it sadly.
This game has no desire to tell you what’s going on in the story or what you’re supposed to be doing at any given moment. It doesn’t help that you’re barely even told the controls and you move at a snail’s pace.

the playable ‘character’ moves a touch too slowly, the map is oddly cryptic and there’s generally nothing too interesting going on here outside of some nice visual flair and moments where the gameplay starts to feel cohesive. it’s fine.
Looks nice, but very slow and kinda boring.
Also don't buy it on Switch because for some reason, the game uses achievements to tell you what's happening story-wise. Without the achievements you know pretty much nothing about what's going on, which makes it even more dull.
Overall this might have been an okay indie game for 2012-15, but by 2017 there are just so many better ones out that this one kinda sucked in comparison. At best it's unmemorable.

Tried this game since I got it for free but I remember almost nothing about it, except the fact that movement was slow and uninteresting.
This game is pretty substsance-less. Inertia feels like poo, especially since enemies dart at you like they aren't ice skating.
