Candleman
SCORE: 66
I am overjoyed that Family Friendly Gaming was given a digital
download code for Candleman on the Playstation 4. Candleman can also be
found on the PC, and Xbox One. This puzzle game has some dark elements
to it. I mean that literally. Our little candle can only light the way
for ten seconds. He leaves wax behind each time we light the candle. I
would flash the light to see the way.
Candleman is dark and that is part of what makes this game hard. We only
have nine lives to completely make it through each of the levels. There
are candles within the level to light in Candleman. The difficulty is
all over the board in Candleman. Some levels are really easy and then
all of sudden a really tough level comes along. Then some more easy
levels until another really tough one.
The dark graphics make it really hard to see in Candleman. Which is the
main game play mechanic. When I could see the graphics Candleman felt
very indie to me. The footsteps in Candleman resonate really loudly. The
music in Candleman is pleasant but really subtle. I wish the music had
been louder than the footsteps personally. I loved lighting other
candles in Candleman. They will eventually go out if you hang out there
too long.
There are plenty of simple puzzles in Candleman. The only thing that
makes the puzzles difficult in Candleman is not being able to see. I
loved the walking candle character. I wish there was some easy mode
where we could always stay lit and be able to see where we are going
easier. I think the difficulty is there in Candleman because of how
short this downloadable only game is.
I did not like Candleman. Others here at Family Friendly Gaming did
enjoy playing Candleman. I think the audience for Candleman is hardcore
games that enjoy a challenge. I did get better at levels after using up
all of my lives. I hope to see more games like Candleman in the future.
I love the idea of Candleman. I know there are others here at FFG that
did like playing Candleman.
