Defunct Games reviews Woven by Alterego Games, available now on PlayStation, Switch, Xbox One, PC, Mac and Linux.
Although it's a bit on the easy side, Woven is a charming and gentle adventure game with a compelling story and a customizable character. The non-violent journey often feels like it's aimed at younger audiences, but also dabbles in darker (and more existential) subject matter. The problem is the easy difficulty, which always feels like the game is holding your hand. It's also frustrating that you have to start the game over again just to find all of the patterns and stuffed animal blueprints. Woven is a solid game that is ultimately marred by easy puzzles and a narrator who won't stop talking.
