Short games are wonderful when they leave the player something to ruminate on, but they need to leave the player with something to ruminate on. They can sometimes take on a poetic quality, not in prose but rather in function, a musing on the nature of some aspect of human experience. Pollen seems to want to do this, but is too vague in its delivery to be successful.

Overall, I'm very impressed with Mindfield's attempts to bring more adventure and puzzle-solving elements to a genre that's mostly gotten by on atmosphere and emotion alone. And P.O.L.L.E.N goes to great lengths to be more than just a tour through a sterile museum of content.

P.O.L.L.E.N. is a visually stunning and well crafted exploration game, and the detail that has been put into the small world by Mindfield Games is remarkable. The recognition that, as players, we don’t always need the game to hold our hands in order to progress is refreshing. But there feels like there could be so much more somehow.

Vielleicht hätten die Entwickler die Rätsel auf kleinere Areale beschränken und klarer kennzeichnen sollen, denn das langsame Untersuchen der Umgebung sorgt schnell für Ermüdung. Ich bin regelrecht froh, dass ich das Adventure nicht mit einem VR-Headset testen musste, denn dann hätte ich mich vermutlich noch häufiger verloren gefühlt.

Возможно, шлем виртуальной реальности делает Pollen лучше, но VR не может решить все ее проблемы. С рваным темпом повествования, с жалкой концовкой, с повисшими в воздухе вопросами, со скоротечностью. Тщательно нагнетаемая всю игру атмосфера пропадает зря. Dead Space может спать спокойно.
