Koral is part science display, part puzzle game, and all design compromise. It feels like a roadmap on what not to do when designing an environmentally conscious game. Without a doubt, the visuals are initially captivating, but their flair quickly wears off and you’re left with the game’s dismal content. The game provides a clunky experience that doesn’t satisfy in any meaningful manner. Too shallow in both its educational content and puzzle-solving gameplay, Koral finds the perfect middle ground to embody an especially painful kind of mediocrity.

Koral is a good little puzzler though many will find it very easy to get through. As an educational tool Koral definitely has value to raise awareness of climate change and the impact of pollution on our oceans. As a game it Koral is a simple affair that plays well. It may lack much challenge for puzzle fans, but this is an engaging and thought provoking experience.

While some may see this as being too “preachy,” I think Koral‘s way of handling this is actually rather beautiful. It wraps up this message in a neat little puzzle game that exudes a lot of character and can be enjoyed by both skilled and novice gamers. Even though it’s not heavy on content, it’s a relaxing experience that you can embed yourself in for a while and get lost in the world below that, as the game points out, we really don’t know all that much about.

Hermosísimo a nivel visual y sonoro, aunque simple de puzzles y corto a nivel jugable, Koral es un viaje concienciador de esos que los videojuegos nos dan y que francamente nos encantan vivir. Porque no todo son tiros, campañas de 50 horas, mapeados abiertos ni climax constante. A veces menos de 3 horas de belleza submarina y gameplay sencillo salpicado de instantes contemplativos son el descanso que necesitamos. Un juego para desintoxicarte de otros juegos, sin duda.
