\"\"<\/a>In a world made entirely out of paper, a shadowy being enters with the power of fire.\u00a0 That\u2019s pretty dangerous in a world like this, so it\u2019s up to a living sheet of paper and his weird friends to stop the shadow presence and save the day.\u00a0 Papetura is a 2-D puzzle adventure game where everything was made from paper in real life, then scanned into the game so it\u2019s very artistic.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n

As a piece of paper, you really can\u2019t do much.\u00a0 You can move left and right with the left control stick, and interact with nearby objects with the A button.\u00a0 You\u2019ll know what you can do because picture cues will pop up.\u00a0 At some points in the game, you\u2019ll be able to aim with the right stick and fire projectiles with the right shoulder button so you can hit faraway objects.\u00a0 You\u2019ll solve all sorts of switch puzzles and fetch quests, but if you don\u2019t know what to do, you can press a button to get a vague hint.<\/p>\n

The vague hints are one of the many problems I had with the game, as in many cases I still couldn\u2019t figure out what to do and had to consult a guide on the internet.\u00a0 I was also able to beat the game in around an hour, so it\u2019s way too short.\u00a0 I read somewhere that the guy who made this game took five years making the paper background models, so why not show videos or pictures of that in the game?\u00a0 Might\u2019ve made me appreciate it more.\u00a0 But as it stands, so matter how long it takes to make a game, when you can beat it in an hour, I fail to see the value in it in most cases.\u00a0 As far as paper-based games go, I much prefer Tearaway or Paper Mario.<\/p>\n

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

Papetura is rated E-10 with ESRB descriptors of Crude Humor and Mild Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 I really didn\u2019t notice any crude humor, but you can make paper creatures eat paper bugs and stuff.\u00a0 If you get caught by something dangerous, the screen just turns to black and you start back nearby where you died.\u00a0 Reading skill isn\u2019t needed for the text, but younger gamers may still need help with the vague puzzles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
