    Even so, despite my qualms with the final few areas and the overall length of the experience, as I said at the top I came away from The Pedestrian with a smile on my face. The core concept is very clever, making use of the visuals and presentation within the puzzles as well as using it to fill in the background with more interesting fare. Puzzle platformers a hardly rare, but if you’re looking for a unique and challenging entry The Pedestrian is well worth a look.

    The Pedestrian is one of the best puzzle experiences I’ve had on the console. It starts off strong and carries that energy throughout the rest of the adventure, dishing out new mechanics and obstacles at a comfortable pace that never had me feeling bored or disinterested.

    Overall, I would say The Pedestrian is a very solid puzzle platformer game from start to finish. Even the final puzzle was very enjoyable. I don’t think I could ever recall a time in this game where I felt I wasn’t enjoying it at all. If you’re into puzzles, this game is certainly for you. It’s everything you could ever want from a puzzle game and more.

    However, if you look hard enough, there are some clues that can build a larger picture. As a PlayStation 5 title, it uses the console’s features well, especially the DualSense controller’s haptic feedback. While it may not be for everyone, The Pedestrian is worth a shot. It stands out from the crowd in so many ways, leaving a positive impact on me in the end.

    While The Pedestrian is a great puzzle platformer, it's not perfect. Probably the most noticeable absence in the game is a hint system. The puzzles can get extremely difficult at times, becoming borderline frustrating even. Additionally, another missed opportunity is in the game’s use of the touchpad.

    5 or 8 depending on whether you‘re a puzzle enthusiast or a puzzle hater (like me)

    This game is mostly a puzzle game with some 2d jump n‘ run. You play as the little man, who can be found (in real life) for example in the emergency exit signs. It has fun ideas, that bring novelty and the design is also quite good. But because I hate puzzle games I got bored fairly quickly. However if you like puzzle games and don‘t mind the repetitiveness of the puzzles (it‘s always the same concept of connecting doors and ladders, but with some additional small things thrown in there to make it somewhat more varied) it‘s a great game and I think you‘d like it. If you hate puzzle games like me, then meh, give it a try maybe, but only when you have Game Pass.
