Darwin’s Paradox! Review – A Mollusc Out of Water
Darwin's Paradox! is a charming side-scrolling adventure where players control a resourceful octopus utilizing natural abilities for stealth, exploration, and puzzle-solving. While the game boasts expressive animation, a whimsical score, and a unique premise inspired by titles like Inside and Ori, its platforming precision falters in demanding sequences, and puzzle design often relies on conventional tropes rather than fully exploring the octopus's potential. Despite these shortcomings, the game offers a fluid and responsive experience with a strong visual identity, making it a worthwhile, though not exceptional, adventure.
