Figment turns a touchy topic into an engaging puzzle adventure that's filled with heart and some excellent setting and soundtrack designs.

Figment is "an adventure through the mind", and one that I quite enjoyed. The team at Bedtime Digital Games have developed a title that feels like an interactiv

Figment isn’t very long – it took me perhaps three or four hours to reach the end – but for every moment, it kept me fixated and enchanted. Even the brief moments where I was frustrated by combat or a particularly troublesome puzzle, the game’s charm always won out. If you appreciate great art and design, and enjoy solving puzzles, don’t even hesitate to pick up Figment. You won’t regret it.

Similar to games such as A Story About My Uncle, Figment aims to tackle the serious problem of mental health in a light-hearted, playful fashion through a style of misdirection that uses fantasy to process emotion. It achieves this goal and presents a satisfying story that only stumbles on occasion as it strays from the focus of its immersive consistency. It brings honest themes to the table which is sadly a rarity in modern video games and takes a surprisingly genuine approach to portraying its cast of quirky characters. It reminds you that real heroes aren't flawless epitomes of bravery, but...

The gripes I have most with Figment aren’t with its visuals or its sound art. It isn’t the story, but more so some of the puzzles. There are standard slide-the-block puzzles, which not everyone is a fan of. But there are also different puzzles that revolve around sound, a little math, and using quest items in the right places. Figment quickly asks players to take all of the items they use with them into the next area, in order to find hidden collectible memory orbs. It’s not a bad method of puzzle design, but can get taxing in light of the constant backtracking. I found that I was losing…

A well put together action puzzler, Figment has truly outstanding musical work. It'd be a great game to discover with children, but you'd probably need one to get the most out of it.

What players will find with Figment is a game that paces itself well to create a world that tackles the inner demons of its protagonist in a way that is simultaneously light hearted and without trivialising the seriousness of the themes. If for no other reason, you should look at this one for its art direction alone. It really is gorgeous.

Figment is an attractive, creative puzzler that explores the human mind’s inner demons very nicely indeed. The gameplay is good, if never revolutionary, with just a handful of downers being present in an otherwise solid experience. The game’s most creative moments – such as its boss battles – and the way in which it deals with its heavy subject matter are the real winners here, though, and should go a long way towards encouraging a purchase for those who are most interested.

60/100

Figment’s mechanics are woefully underdeveloped, but the rest of the game is so cohesive and often brilliant that it’s difficult to dismiss out of hand. The ambient soundtrack, and especially the boss songs go a long way and are worth playing through the slight, five hour game to hear if that interests you at all. If not, the gameplay can be downright boring at times.
