Chapter 9:

[Game Review] - Patrick's Parabox

Am I losing Interest in Writing?


What is the game about?
It's a puzzle box where you are a box pushing other boxes to their final destination, while you also need to be your final destination at the same time. The game gets harder and harder the deeper you go into the game.

How much does it cost?
In rupiah, it costs 165.999 rupiah. I think the cost and the amount of gameplay in the game are worth it.

Where was your source of knowledge about this game?
I found out about the game through algorithms of YouTube's short. And through that algorithm, I found Trippster (https://www.youtube.com/@TrippPlaysGames) short videos about this game.

How long is the game?
If you are not very good at puzzles, I'd say about ten to twelve hours. But if you want to know how long it can be finished, well... there is a speed run for this game. Yes, even this logic/puzzle game has a speed run. I really don't how the fuck you do speed run on this game. The world record player beat this game in about two hours.

My thoughts/review
I have reviewed this game on the Steam Page, so I'll just copy/paste to here.

As a puzzle game enthusiast, I always try to find a unique puzzle game. This one in particular is one of the unique ones. Shout out to a Short's YouTuber called Trippster (https://www.youtube.com/@TrippPlaysGames), dudes out here selling the game so much that I just had to try it myself. And Jesus Christ, I fell hard in love with this game. I couldn't recommend this game enough. I haven't finished the game myself, but you know for sure that I will finish this one soon enough. It's just that good.

Overall 9.8/10, it's not perfect but nearly there.

Edit (After 100% Completion): Hands down, without a shadow of a doubt, the best puzzle game ever created. Like, holy cow, it is absolutely breathtaking to see how the gameplay elevates from one section to another. Then, after finishing all of that, with the knowledge you have acquired throughout your journey, they give you a challenge. Like a proper challenge. Those ones are hard af, they really put me on to madness with that one. I even had to Google one or two levels on YouTube to get through those levels.
My overall rating is still the same, and I'm not regretting rating it 9.8/10 because I'm actually kind of annoyed that the devs give some side quests at the end of the game, where you learn new mechanics and expect you to solve puzzles with those new mechanics. It actually threw me off a couple of times, especially in the "Appendix: Priority" section of the game. Man, I hate that one. I needed some time to get used to that. 😂

Final thought!
This is a must-play game if you like puzzle games. I highly recommend it.
