Punk Notion and Cubeish Games today announced that their touching 3D puzzle adventure game "Weakless" is coming to Xbox One and PC on November 29th.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "For most people, nary a day goes by that we stop and think about our senses. It’s strange territory to take a step back and consider what it’d be like to be deprived of one. A developer duo, Punk Notion and Cubeish Games, try to capture that here in the puzzle-adventure context with Weakless. In respect to creating something relatively original, these teams succeeded in exploring sensory deprivation through the lens of a childhood fable. Unfortunately, the weaknesses in its brevity and game design keep it from blooming into its full potential."
GameCrate: "Weakless is not exactly a masterpiece, but it is a beautiful little game with an undeniable amount of charm and a heartfelt message. The game tells a story of the beauty of nature and perseverance through friendship. The narrative is kept to a minimum to ensure you experience its themes and concepts through the gameplay, which is a lot of fun despite some glaring rough edges."
Gareth writes: "From my first moments with Weakless on Xbox One, I really wanted to love the experience. The world, characters and unique gameplay see this come across as the type of game that I adore, and it cries out to be just that. However, whilst the gameplay is good, the running time is very short and it doesn’t do quite enough to live up to its full potential; at times it feels like a beta playthrough for a much bigger game or idea."
