I. Am. Obsessed. Children of the Sun is a terrific puzzler, just dripping in the most heinous of vibes. I had high hopes for this game's sniper mechanics, and I am glad to say those hopes were surpassed.

It starts out relatively simple: try to find the right out to shoot a handful of guys. I will say, it was during this phase that I wondered if this game really had meat on the bone, or if it was just a cool premise with evocative art.

After the first few missions though, the puzzles began to evolve at a thrilling rate. The number of missions I ended breathlessly triumphant over clever geometry and mechanics make me positively giddy.

There is also, like, WAY more content than I expected? I went into the game knowing that it was about 4 hours long, but those 4 hours are just so DENSE with fun. The missions don't take long, there are a ton of them, and not a single one feels perfunctory.

Basically: This game is TIGHT and pristinely polished. It's a game where you can feel the developers' fascination with their own premise, and the result is sublime.
