What players think
The recurring themes across 204 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The soundtrack, composed by David Wise, blends ambient textures with traditional influences, creating a soundscape that feels both serene and slightly melancholic.
It could have used more content; more diverse and challenging puzzles; more utilization and interaction with the folding paper concept; a more flushed out story for immersion and emotional ties; more traditional music to make that connection with the historical period; and, more context for understanding what was being asked of the player at each stage of progression.
This visual concept is not a novelty layered on top of standard gameplay, but the very foundation of how the world works, inviting players to interact with space in a tactile, almost physical way.
Sound design plays a crucial role in shaping Tengami’s identity.
On top of that, the puzzles are not as intuitive as the developers would have liked them to be or they are way too easy.
