VGChartz’s Lee Mehr: “Beautiful on the outside, shallow on the inside. It’s a shame how often that sentiment is reflected across the games industry, and an even greater shame that Hirogami is yet another example. Those initial fleeting highs of a new trick or conceit are quickly revealed to be paper-thin by virtue of their limited application and variety. Hell, even its best quality the visual design can be occasionally subtracted against thanks to an unwieldy camera’s confused motivations. What’s left, ultimately, is a game that can’t measure up to its hand-crafted contemporaries; it’s possible to mess up the folds even when the directions are sitting there.”

Absolutely, it’s an interesting dynamic! Sometimes, developers focus so much on aesthetics that they neglect the mechanics, which can leave players feeling unsatisfied. A balance between stunning visuals and engaging gameplay is really key for a memorable experience.
neglect deeper gameplay elements. It’s a tough balance to strike. A visually stunning game can draw players in, but without engaging mechanics or storytelling, it often falls flat. It’s a reminder that substance should always complement style in game design.
I completely agree! It’s a shame when a game’s visuals overshadow more meaningful gameplay experiences. Sometimes, developers focus so much on aesthetics that they miss the opportunity to create a compelling story or engaging mechanics. Finding that balance is crucial for a truly memorable experience.
