\"HUE_BOX\"<\/a>Hue is a 2-D platforming action puzzle game.\u00a0 You play as Hue, a boy who finds himself in a colorless world.\u00a0 After exploring for a bit, you\u2019ll discover letters from a mysterious woman who has dabbled in some dangerous color experiments and has now made herself invisible.\u00a0 It\u2019s up to Hue to rescue her and solve the mystery.\u00a0 Hue gains the power to change the background to several colors in the spectrum, which he uses to solve puzzles and bypass obstacles.\u00a0 It\u2019s kind of like a more puzzley version of Runbow<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Hue is available for the PS4, Vita, Xbox One, and PC, but reviewed on Vita here.<\/p>\n

In the game, you\u2019ll explore several caves with puzzle rooms. Use the directional pad to move around, and the buttons to jump and push and pull blocks.\u00a0 Use the right analog stick to change the background color.\u00a0 If there are any blocks, doors, or other objects that are the same color as the background, they\u2019ll disappear and you\u2019ll be able to walk right through them.\u00a0 That\u2019s how you solve the game\u2019s puzzles.\u00a0 As you play, you\u2019ll gather more colors to change the background to, which allows for more complex and trickier puzzles.\u00a0 There are some sections that are more action-oriented, too.\u00a0 Scattered about the areas are hidden beakers that you can collect.\u00a0 They don\u2019t do anything but add an extra challenge for those who want it.<\/p>\n

The game has very few problems, and most of them are minor.\u00a0 If you are colorblind, there is a mode where you can add symbols to the backgrounds and objects, but I still think it would be pretty tough to play this game if you are colorblind.\u00a0 In some of the action sections, it can be tricky when you have to jump and quickly change to a different color, as you have to remove your thumb from the buttons to the right analog stick.\u00a0 The game also isn\u2019t very clear about saving the game, but it does autosave after you enter a room, and you can cross save to the PS4 version as well.\u00a0 And finally, the game can get a little repetitive after a while, but it\u2019s still a pretty fun little action puzzler.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Violence is pretty minimal.\u00a0 If you get hit by rocks, spikes, or other dangerous obstacles, you just flop over and start back at the last door you entered.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for some of the text, but not necessary as most of it has spoken voice as well.\u00a0 Younger gamers may get frustrated at some of the more challenging puzzles and obstacles.\u00a0 Hue is rated E for Everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
