Stacking is chock full of charm, humor, and fun puzzles. Though some of the solutions are really easy, if you avoid the hint system it’ll take some time to decipher some of the harder ones. If all you want to do is run through the story without trying other solutions, performing Hi-Jinks or collecting dolls, Stacking may not be the best $15 investment. However, it’s hard not to get sucked into this colorful world, so if you can appreciate the style of humor Stacking has to offer, you’ll enjoy this game immensely.
Stacking is a third-person adventure puzzle game that makes players laugh while challenging their perception and intellect.
Its voice might be weaker than Schafer's work but Stacking is one of few games with its own visual identity.
Stacking is a peculiar title, and many players may even be turned off at first sight. However, the mind of Tim Schafer has always managed to create a very fun experience, using only Russian dolls and a great script. It’s a tiered formula in which the player embodies various dolls to take advantage of their skills, and brings a fresh air to the video game industry. Schafer is no stranger to game-making mastery, and it shows. Those looking for puzzles that ultimately go beyond the standards in favor of smart challenges and good humor must visit the world of Stacking.
Stacking is an essential purchase that will leave a smile on your face for days to come. It needed a little more content and variety, sure, but we’ll tell you one thing - we’re definitely looking forward to what Double Fine has for us next.
