MONOBOT

Monobot is an atmospheric sci-fi puzzle adventure platformer where we guide a small robot through deadly dangers in search of answers about the secrets of the past and our purpose in this inhospitable world.

Monobot has some really bright ideas, and it’s got a charm that sets it apart from plenty of the games on the App Store. There’s plenty of puzzling entertainment here, and while it doesn’t quite hit the heights, it’s still worth checking out.

Overall, as much as I negatively focused on this review, there are enjoyable factors, some I cannot explain without spoiling, so you must take my word for it. The art style, while at times a bit basic and generic, does give some nice backdrops and atmosphere, and the music that chimes in are beautiful and eerie, echoing out across empty broken hallways and spires.

Overall, Monobot is a fairly short ten to fifteen-hour adventure which will keep you interested with mechanics, abilities, and puzzles until the end. I would have hoped for more unique elements, but ultimately the experience is well put together and fun. The environments are especially well-designed and offer a dynamic backdrop for the gameplay.

Malheureusement, le jeu n'exploite pas suffisamment son environnement visuel pour nous raconter son histoire. Au contraire, l'essentiel de la narration passe par du texte, au détriment de l'immersion. Même s'il n'atteint pas le génie narratif et le game design des jeux cultes dont il s'inspire (Limbo et Inside), Monobot est une expérience vidéoludique plaisante, qui vaut la peine de s'y intéresser.
