COGconnected: Distortions is an evocative, off-kilter journey into a strange world continuously buffeted by the twin forces of grief and wonder.
Distortions is an adventure game developed by Brazilian indie studio Among Giants. It is their debut title after nine years in development.
'Distortions' squanders a lot of positives and makes a “should have been better” type of game.
TSA writes: "With gaming becoming a truly global industry, it is increasingly common for titles to appear from countries outside the trinity of of Japan, North America and Europe. The different viewpoints, cultural interests and approaches that characterise these games all add to the welcome increase in diversity across the medium. Distortions is very much part of this new, more cosmopolitan industry, having garnered a great deal of attention in the developer’s native Brazil. However, keen as I am to encourage a wider pool of diversity into my gaming library, each title must still stand or fall on whether it manages to add something interesting and is enjoyable to play."
