Summary
Night Lights is a very chilled puzzle platformer. It feels like another game I played many years ago where you manipulate light to solve puzzles, but it does a good job of keeping the core mechanics simple so more of a good thing is alright. Apart from manipulating the world, you are always trying to get to a jew teleport machine which will send you to another one which will usually put you in a new part of an old level or a whole new level. I had a lot of control niggles like black screens and jump grabs not counting but overall it is just a nice comfort puzzler, I didn’t feel compelled to push myself too far or go too deep, it’s just comfortable.
