Review of Shardlight by Pegbiter

I had been anticipating this game ever since it was announced, and finished it in a seven hour sitting as soon as it came out. Most prominent is the gorgeous background art, which is extremely detailed for being so pixelated. Ben Chandler has as usual done a wonderful job breathing life into the world and its characters. The story kept me interested all the way to the credits even though it might not be the most overwhelming one from the developer. I would perhaps have preferred the difficulty to be a bit higher. Mostly because that would have kept me in the awesome post-apocalyptic world of the game for a longer time though, because solving the puzzles is rewarding enough. I am now eagerly awaiting Unavowed, the upcoming title from Wadjet Eye Games.
