What a strange little game. Pretty trippy and can almost be unsettling when messing around with some of the foods. Honestly feel this game is deeper than it appears, but I don't have the patience to spend more time with it as it's pretty clunky.

Neat idea, shaky execution. I feel even a team like Enhance couldn't have improved on this much without adding another layer of mechanics.

Stupid little sandbox with a little bit of rhythm game mechanics.
too bad it's not stupid enough to be a fun stupid game, not sandbox enough to be a fun sandbox game and the rhythm game part just doesn't work.

this thing is useless

I don't have a rating for this..."game."

I'll just say I thought it was gonna be stupid, and it wasn't stupid enough.

I think Nour is a really cool idea and I did enjoy playing it but I wish there was more to it. It is pure sandbox with the only goals being in the form of PS5 trophies - you get a handful of tools and spells to play with in a bunch of different food settings with the ability to spawn in more food or sometimes interact with appliances in the environment but that's it. Controls are confusing and the mechanic with the jellyfish and the rhythm tapping stuff I didn't really understand. Some of the food levels are more fun than others like the microwave and burger tower but others I quit after about 30 seconds. Was extremely disappointed that the PS5 version barely used any controller haptics as this would have been the perfect game for it. Visual style and graphics were extremely on point though.

People would’ve ate this shit up on the PS2 probably but it controls real bad which maybe another aspect that makes it more PS2 ish
