Review: Semispheres (PlayStation 4)

meditative parallel puzzle game that places dual realities at the heart of its challenge. Its unique single-player split-screen mechanic challenges your brain by putting you in control of two characters at the same time.

Pros:

• Simple yet nice graphics.
• Puzzle gameplay. Splitscreen on a single player game that sees you controlling two spheres at once.
• Simple twin stick controls.
• Aim of the game is to get both spheres to their exits.
• Story told with pictures.
• 14 Trophies.
• Collect and use abilities in levels. Example of abilities is the create a hole so the blue can see the orange level and vice versa.
• Level select main hub.
• Clever hypnotic puzzle game.
• Chilled out soundtrack.
• Easy to pick up and play.
• Opening tutorial.
• 391.7MB download size.
• Abilities respawn.
• Cool lighting effects.

Cons:

• Slow paced…Duh its a puzzle game but still.
• Little replay value.
• Music isn’t for everyone.
• Later puzzles are devious.
• You prefer squares to spheres.
