Viewfinder Review

Viewfinder reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on PC. Also available on PlayStation 5.
"What Viewfinder lacks in story substance and compelling characters it more than makes up for via the pure, mind-boggling exhilaration of its perspective-warping puzzle solving. Its superb, photo-based environmental deformation doesn’t just break ground - it bends and stretches it into entirely new shapes and forms in the wake of each puzzle completed, while also introducing regular game-changing parameters that forced me to continually think outside the frame of my shots. The ability to transport yourself into paintings and screenshots makes for a journey that consistently captivates in between each carefully considered camera capture, and the rapid rewind function emboldens you to get creative with puzzle solutions without fear of retribution. Spellbindingly surreal and stimulating to the end, Viewfinder is the freakiest form of photo mode in which every snap is a happy one."

For me games like this is what gaming and game development is all about, pushing the creative limits of what's possible, something that's been lost in AAA gaming for a long time... thank the gaming gods for smaller studios still willing to push that creative envelope

This needs a VR mode
@Dogtorbox

It works because there’s one camera, if there were two like your eyes in VR, there would be a weird transition of what you’re seeing as soon as you place a picture, because the switch from flat to having depth is immediately noticeable in VR, whereas in flat, it doesn’t register until after moving. It might still work, but it won’t be as seamless
@Cragadom
@Cragadom Год назад
The picture could instantly (and seamlessly) transition from 2D to 3D the moment your head moves.
@Dogtorbox
@Dogtorbox Год назад
@@Cragadom it’s a little more complicated than that… because you always see depth in VR and it’s not linked to a perspective shift caused by moving, the picture ‘jumps’ from being flat & held up in front of your face to being a 3D part of the level, whether you move your viewpoint or not… this isn’t a problem in the flat version because you can’t see depth without movement, so whether the picture is flat or 3D, it looks the same since there’s only one camera viewing it.
@Cragadom
@Cragadom Год назад
@@Dogtorbox Yeah that same thought ran through my mind as your response popped up. Even if it ‘didn’t work’, as in, it literally turned to 3D the moment you placed the photograph, it would STILL be amazing in VR. Bending reality+VR?! Sign me up! 🙌🏼 😝

Been dabbling with this this evening and it’s real fun. Almost finished the 2nd Level so far and not anything mind crushingly challenging yet but I’ve certainly grinned a few times when the answer finally clicked and the levels are introducing more features. Very reminiscent of Maquette insofar as both were PS5 games that looked kinda similar and played with size, perspective and some smartly designed puzzles.

This game is brilliant in every way. Really looking forward to playing it. This review, though, is pretty bad. It is more a description of the game, the mechanics and what happens in the game than a review itself. Most of the fun in this game is the discovery and this review spoils most of it.

Don't remember if they stated it at the beginning, but this review is a spoiler for a rather short 4 hour game. The verdit is 8. If you like the concept, don't spoil the story/challenges by watching this video - just play it. The mechanics are basically what you saw in the trailer + a bit more.

I'm not a programmer but it seems crazy, if the game really works as described. With open world design people are always like "this allows so much player freedom, there was a grape pickup on the top of that mountain, exploration is rewarded." But being able to superimpose any piece of terrain upon any other without constantly running into game breaking situations is freedom to a different power. The designers would have to consider so many contingencies that most players would never see.
