VGChartz's Daniel Carreras: "Several years ago, a short gaming gif posted on Twitter and Reddit exploded. It showcased an interesting game concept of a simple stick man walking across signs that were scattered around a gorgeous city. It seemed novel at the time, and now that it's finally released I can firmly say that it's just as novel and charming now as it was all those years ago when it first exploded in popularity."
Diana writes: "By focusing on a small selection of set mechanics and interrogating what can be done with them in two dimensions, alongside its visual clarity and direction, The Pedestrian creates a polished and self-contained little game that’s well worth setting aside an evening to explore."
Neil writes: "There are many who complain that the gaming industry is stale; that the same old games are being pumped out at a rate of knots. But then up pop games like The Pedestrian on Xbox and Game Pass, immediately closing down the conversation."
The Pedestrian is an ace collection of puzzles thematically linked by some very clever set dressing as you traverse 3D environments via 2D puzzles. It's really quite good. Get on it.
