The only reason I didn't finish this game is because I ran into a soft lock partway through that made it impossible for me to enter a ship (I think) that was supposed to take me to the next level. I'm not too bothered by that, however, because the story was so one note and predictable that I'm fairly certain I already know how the game ends despite having never seen it anywhere. Hue's colour switching mechanic is interesting on paper, but dull in practice. It's little more than a gimmick for the vast majority of the time and the levels are far too simple to carry its dead weight. Also, for a game centred around colours, it's kind of visually bland imo. The best thing about Hue is that it's a short and simple pallet cleanser to play in between more substantial games. The world needs games like Hue, so I'm ultimately glad it exists, but even as a pallet cleanser, it's little more than a footnote.
