There’s definitely some interesting ideas going on in “Contrast”. Its shadow based mechanic allow for some fairly inventive puzzles and it’s all at the backdrop of a 1930’s era setting were you can truly feel the creators did their homework. The story gets the dialog right, but it doesn’t really come together all that well. The biggest offender tho, is that it’s just not fun to actually play. The control isn’t fluid. It feels stiff and janky from all ends. I can’t quite say I hate this game; far from it. I admire the craft behind a lot of the ideas at work here. With that said, by the end, I just didn’t feel like my time was well spent.
