    5.0 out of 5 stars A creative puzzle-solver with beautiful graphics
    Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2013

    RPG's like Mass Effect, Skyrim, Dragon Age, etc., are typically my games of choice, but The Cave sounded intriguing. The cheap price and pre-order discount didn't hurt.

    Players choose three of the seven available characters, each with unique talents. I'm currently playing with a knight who has the power of invincibility; an adventurer who can swing a grappling hook; and twins who have the ability to duplicate themselves. When you access special areas of the cave, you uncover scenes from your characters' pasts. Also, each character has a special quest that occurs in a unique area of the cave. (The knight is tasked by a king to defeat a dragon and retrieve an amulet for his daughter.)

    You switch control between the three characters as you advance through the cave. Often, teamwork is required as you must position the characters in certain areas or have them perform tasks simultaneously. There are monsters, but there is no combat. Instead, you must figure out how to get past monsters with strategy alone. For one early example, you "battle" a dragon with a hot dog and a claw like those found in an arcade game.

    Controls are simple, consisting of moving side to side, jumping, climbing, and picking up and using various objects. Characters can only hold one object at a time, and certain objects are needed to advance through different areas of the cave. Because it's not always obvious which objects must be used, you will often find yourself doubling back to retrieve dropped objects. This is a new type of game for me, so I've found myself running around aimlessly quite a bit, experimenting with different combinations of characters and objects to try to advance.

    So far, I've experienced no glitches. What I have experienced are clever puzzles, beautiful visuals, and a game that will lend itself to re-playability as I will want to try out all of the characters.

    Tip - If you get stuck, the Games Radar website has some helpful walkthroughs and a nice map that gives a layout of the entire cave system.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Bug Puts Game in Unwinnable Condition; Double Fine Doesn't Care.

    The gameplay is interesting, but the game contains at least one game-breaking bug I encountered during ordinary play. I sent all the information about the problem, the nature of the problem, and the conditions needed to replicate it and hopefully patch with an update. The response was to restart the game and "It sucks."

    Same to you Double Fine. I'm sorry I even wrote in the bug and how to replicate it in the first place.

    I thought game play would be more like the Trine series, alas no it was not. I found this game to be clever in some of the writing, but not worth the $15 I spent on this one.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Fun game, but glitchy.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2013

    I love the old Lucas Arts adventure games, like Monkey Island, and I was looking for something similar. The Cave is not like the old adventure games, in that the player does not pick objects and decide how to interact with them (ex: open, talk to, pick up, give, etc.) However, the game is imaginative and contains entertaining puzzles. Also, each character has their own dark history that slowly unfolds as you play. Because parts of the game only accessible by certain characters and only three can be played at a time, there is potential for many hours of gameplay.

    The game is not without bugs. I was on the second to last level of the game when I began having trouble moving an object. My character kept walking forward and dropping the object when I just wanted it to grab the object and walk backwards. I learned how to get out of that trap, but then one of my characters fell through the floor and vanished. I cannot retrieve him and I must have three characters to leave the level. The game auto-saves and there is not an easy way to go to earlier saves (you have play programmer to do that). So, in my case I have to start over from level one, which is highly disappointing.

    So, buy this game at your own risk. It IS fun and it seems that other people have made it to the end without any trouble. At the same time it is a newly released game and it might be better to buy it after it has been "out there" a while so the bugs can be worked out.

    The game is cool, but it's really short and a lot of it has to be repeated to see each character's story.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good game for causal gamers looking for accesible puzzles
    Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2013

    If you are looking for a game that is not a button masher, and that has puzzles that will make you wonder for 5 to 10 minutes, this is the game for you. The artwork is beautiful, the stories are well constructed, the characters are charming, and the puzzles present some challenge, but will not leave you stranded walking around without a clue about what to do for hours (and who has hours now a days). The game was designed thinking of a user that wants to enjoy a game, and not necessarily challenge their manual dexterity. So characters handle well and do not die. That helps the game move on.

    Overall a very good game and well priced.

    The game makes you choose three characters (among 7) which you will command as they travel in a cave in which they will play scenarios that will reenact their shortcomings. The cave is a metaphor for the dark/shameful aspects of their lives, so there is a dark commentary for each character. From the perspective of gameplay, it is a bit like the lost vikings (if you are old enough to have played that), in the sense that you need to toggle between characters to solve the different puzzles.

    Buggy sometimes slow to load. Enjoyable when it infrequently functions. More bugs than your backyard. Sluggish and choppy.
