Hoa is a puzzle platformer that initially escaped my notice. But I was happy to accept a later review key offer, as the launch trailer impressed me greatly. As

Hoa is a peaceful experience that makes sure not to overstay its welcome. The environments are gorgeous, the gameplay is neat, and the soundtrack is captivating. More than anything, it makes me excited for what we’ll get from developer Skrollcat Studio down the road. It’s the perfect game to pick up and chill out with if you’re stressed, anxious, or just want a breath of fresh air.

Let’s be honest – the world is a bit of a mess at the moment. Gaming for a lot of us is our refuge, our safe place, our haven away from the realness of this world that feels like we’ve woken up in a parallel universe ala’ Marty McFly in Back To The Future Part II.

Additionally, there were times the game felt as though it was barely able to hold it together on the Switch hardware.

A gorgeous, non-violent puzzle platformer with big Studio Ghibli vibes, Hoa is a brief but brilliant tale about the healing power of nature, and the cutest rhinoceros beetles you ever did see.

Similar to a light summer breeze, Hoa is meant to be a chill, low-stress experience. The plot is short and sweet, the gameplay and puzzling are entry-level, and the overall aesthetic is cute and charming.

However, if you’re in search of a beautiful experience that’ll warm your heart, Hoa isn’t a title to sleep on.
