O jogo é relativamente criativo em sua proposta e execução, mesmo com sua simplicidade. A história é interessante e bem executada, ao ponto dela me interessar mais que o próprio gameplay em momentos, e os puzzles são, no geral, bem bolados.
Porém, parte dos puzzles são extremamente tediosos, principalmente os finais. sendo os puzzles simples, a maior dificuldade é executá-los sem acidentalmente colocar a cor errada e morrer, algo que causa com que você tenha que refazer o puzzle inteiro, e com os puzzles sendo muito "empurrar ou puxar bloco", fica tedioso muito rápido.
Felizmente, o jogo é rápido, então esse incomodo não é tanto, também pq não é comum o bastante para virar a norma, com muitos puzzles sendo, sim, divertidos e dinâmicos, mas não deixa de ser extremamente chato você notar que morreu por um erro de input e terá que refazer um puzzle inteiro que metade consiste em puxar um analógico para a esquerda ou direita sem maior esforço
honestamente, nem liguei para os coletáveis, não tenho paciência de refazer todas as fases só pra pega-los, mas, dos que eu notei e coletei, não são mal colocados
sendo o jogo, novamente, extremamente curto, definitivamente vale a pena dar a chance, sĂŁo +-4 horas de jogo, em uma tarde da pra acabar com vontade o bastante

Most of the puzzles feel just tedious, not hard or challenging. Just boring and tedious. Is not that fun. Some puzzles are cool but most of them are just tedious.
Story is just mediocre, you are forced to listen to it as whenever you pick up a letter there is a long ass walk that goes the exact duration of the voice over. As well as the fact that each letter is after you get a new colour, it doesn’t keep it surprising.

Fun little puzzle platformer. The story didn't do anything for me and I could have lived without it even being there (the padding the games adds so you appear to have something to do while the audio logs play is a bit tedious after a while) but the actual puzzles are strong and the game has a nice difficulty curve.
Hue is a simple game where you shift between colors to solve puzzles. There are letters scattered throughout the game that unravel the reason why you are tasked with collecting colors in a colorless world, which felt unnecessary as it added nothing but long, mindless, winding, levels as the narrator spoke. As you progress through levels and areas you add more colors to your palette and the difficulty increases.
Achievements are mostly unmissable if you play Hue in its entirety, save for “secret beakers” that are hidden among the various areas and levels. If you are an achievement hunter, you may have more fun with this than I did. My problem with finding all the secret beakers was that there was no way to repeat a specific level within an area. If you missed a beaker near the end of an area, you would need to repeat every level up to the one that you needed to get to, which was the case with many of the beakers hidden in earlier levels that required you to use a color that you did not possess yet. If that tedium doesn’t deter you, hopefully you feel rewarded by simply earning the achievement for collecting all of the beakers since they serve no real purpose to the story.
Ultimately, Hue is fun to puzzle over for an afternoon or two, but it overstays its welcome a bit with tedious and unnecessary elements that don’t really complement the game.

A respectable short platformer puzzle game. About this game, all I can really say is that it's "just ok." It's the kind of game you might have liked to play back in the day on a website for flash games. Although I doubt I would have downloaded and played this game if it weren't temporarily free. If you don't mind playing these kinds of games and are out of games to play, I would suggest this.

This is a great puzzle game. I had a ton of fun with the puzzles. They sometimes felt like they gave the player the chance to beat puzzles in their own way. It felt like there were multiple ways to solve them. The game looked outstanding too. I loved the use of color in it. The music was also good too.
A relatively short but fun puzzle-solving game about colors, the difficulty is very manageable, it does get kinda tricky towards the end but with a bit of thinking anything is possible.
I only needed to use a guide for one part of a puzzle, but that's because I forgot about a core element of the game, so that's on me.
Grabbed this game on Steam when it was free a while ago and didn't regret playing it, short and sweet. Decent story too!
