A lot of puzzle games release every year, ampoule<\/a> but a sub-genre that\u2019s far less prolific are the ones that utilize a co-op perspective. I\u2019m not talking about platformers with rewind or shifting elements, but rather the games that melt it to the purest perspective, being analog sticks. Because this is so unexplored, any indie developer has far more potential, and also weight. Semispheres<\/em> is now the latest example to utilize this, so let\u2019s see if it holds a\u00a0punch.<\/p>\n

Gameplay:<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Semispheres<\/em> is one of those puzzle games where it feels like you\u2019re uncovering pieces of a larger puzzle as you progress, and this is completely supplemented by the game\u2019s co-op nature. However, the level of complexity to which this is accomplished is what truly makes Semispheres<\/em> special. One example involves the game\u2019s portals, which evolve into five different strategies to solve\u00a0puzzles.<\/p>\n

Story &\u00a0Design:<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Spoiler alert, Semispheres<\/em> is short but sweet. However, I nevertheless enjoyed it because of how well it commits to the ever-expanding idea of puzzle and perception. This could easily be a pick-up-and-play game, one you turn on with a companion every once in a while to have a good cerebral\u00a0time.<\/p>\n

Presentation\/ Visuals &\u00a0Audio:<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Semispheres<\/em> presentation is basic but fitting and so is the ambient soundtrack, which takes away the typical frustration found with a puzzle game. Considering this is added on top of the way Semispheres<\/em> is designed, the game quickly becomes one of the most peaceful puzzle games I\u2019ve experienced in recent\u00a0memory.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h4>\n

Semispheres<\/em> is a puzzle game I\u2019ll be remembering for a damn while. A unique blend of co-op gameplay, soothing presentation, and beautiful level design make it into a mental prestige, and one that I\u2019ll continue to go back to, in order to impress\u00a0others.<\/p>\n

Semispheres<\/em> gets a 9\/10\u00a0(Superb)<\/p>\n
