After playing through hundreds of games, it's always exciting to find something that feels truly novel in its mechanics. Cocoon executes brilliantly on its concept of interconnected worlds as physical objects. It's filled with moments that make you feel like a genius for figuring out, without being too obtuse such that it becomes frustrating. I kept finding myself thinking "there's no way this would work," only for that to be the solution to a puzzle. The designers have masterfully connected these worlds through gameplay and visual flair. With Limbo and Inside as pedigree, Cocoon is more evidence to the brilliance of Jeppe Carlsen.
