3/5 ★ – cjfelty3396's review of A Fold Apart.

This game has been on my radar since it was first shown at one of Xbox’s E3 press conferences—its art style and subject matter immediately grabbed my attention. Finally, I took the time to play it through Apple Arcade, and was quite let down by the seeming randomness of the puzzles the game put before me. There are some very general thematic ties between the story being told and the gameplay mechanics (movement direction), but overall, this just seems like a touching story packaged unnecessarily in a game. I will grant that a lot of the annoyance came from the game over-staying its welcome with the easier puzzles of the first three chapters. Finally, I just have to commend the composer on the minimalist score for this game—it was absolutely my favorite part of the game (followed closely by the art style).
