The Good
- Gorgeous 3D artwork and fluid animation
- eclectic soundtrack perfectly sets the mood
- charming lead characters
- nice mix of light action sequences and traditional adventuring.
The Bad
- Same few puzzle types are repeated frequently
- protagonist feels disconnected from her own story
- least user-friendly main menu I’ve ever seen.
Our Verdict
Good
A solid adventure that is generally enjoyable, though it lacks enough polish or ambition to recommend without caution.
Seeing (and hearing, and playing) is believing, so do yourself a favour and check out Illusion: A Tale of the Mind, a flawed but wonderfully immersive and inexplicably-unheralded little 3D platforming adventure.
