What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
* Great story.
Gameplay is where Lair of the Clockwork God truly distinguishes itself.
Ben’s gameplay revolves around talking to characters, collecting items, and solving logic puzzles through dialogue and inventory combinations.
Like many other reviewers here I'm not a big platforming fan or adventure fan but I still enjoyed it and the difficulty level was fine.
* Cutesy graphics appropriate for the retro feel they're going for.
Instead, it focuses on accessibility, creativity, and humor-driven problem solving.
