- With likeable and interesting characters, a soft but smooth graphical design, and a superbly soulful soundtrack, this is a short but sweet tale well worth saving for that rainy afternoon when you need a little comfort game.
- 7.0The Forest Quartet is a wonderful title that is creative in its approach to telling a touching story. The aesthetics and score blend perfectly to take you on an ethereal journey. Even though it is very short and the puzzles are straightforward, it manages to deliver a memorable experience.
- 8.0The Forest Quartet is a gorgeously emotive game, one that explores the complex emotion of grief with empathy, nuance, and understanding. This jazz-inspired puzzle game is an experience to be relished, one that will live long in the memory.
- 8.0A succinct, poignant and personal narrative puzzle game, The Forest Quartet is an excellent way to spend an evening. Its intimate story is brought to life through an art style packed with symbolism and gorgeous music.
- 6.4The Forest Quartet ist ein sehr einfühlsames und audiovisuell durchaus gelungenes Erlebnis, das mit rund anderhalb Stunden Spielzeit allerdings auch sehr knapp ausgefallen ist. Leider kann das Erzähl-Adventure spielerisch nicht an seine Stärken anknüpfen und verlässt sich zu sehr auf die Abstraktion der Trauerphasen.
