What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I've just finished the DIS route (it's like the main or true ending) with a little bit of cheating on those late game levels, I just had to because I'm too obsessed (It's only been 4 days since I started playing) and need to function normally as a human being.
To start with the gameplay itself, Void Stranger is a mix of Sokoban-style puzzles that you progress through in a linear order and various hidden mechanics that you’ll gradually learn while playing which will unlock secrets, shortcuts, new mechanics, and other miscellaneous bonuses.
The music is also exceptional and fits perfectly in the game - the theme of the first area, Void Symphony, works to create a brilliant first impression for players and the rest of the game's music matches it in quality and sets the tone for your continued descent into the Void.
You spend most of your in-game time wandering through the void, with its simple, utilitarian sprites and tiles fading into the blackness that surrounds the screen, and it's only after long toil that you get to see a new cutscene with lavish visuals or a mysterious new character in moments that feel like a mirage in the overwhelming dark that leave you hungering for more.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
No recurring complaints surfaced in this sample.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
