BLACKHOLE reviews

Translated by

The Upshot first: Blackhole is a great puzzle platformer. Really negative Points, I don't actually have any because Blackhole is at least solid in every Aspect ... And mostly right, really good! One of the most important Points: The Control reacts excellently and after playing a little bit you are already fully familiar with it. The Levels are fantastically designed, lead one slowly to the Game, but quickly become more demanding. In each Level you collect so-called Selfburns, small Circles of which there are usually 3-4 per Level to be found, but sometimes also quite 7. To finish a Level, however, you only need 1 Selfburn, so if you don't feel like a Level or you can't reach one of the Selfburns, you can continue like this (1 Selfburn you actually always manage somehow). Almost all Levels are "puzzle"-like, which means you always have to look at how I approach which Self-burns, sometimes even the Order plays a Role. Only at a few Levels is the Procedure trivial and only the Execution the Difficult one. Conversely, there are sometimes levels whose Execution is relatively easy once you've seen how they go. All in all, I would say that it is quite tricky and also "hard" in my opinion, but it really never gets unfair. Even at the Levels in which I tie for a While, I have to admit afterwards that they are consistently fair and-known how-feasible; Every Level is really thought through. Also, at every Level There are Bonus Times, "Coffee Times," which you only unlock if you end it with all the Self-burns and in a certain Amount of time. That, too, is consistently fair and should have been a little more difficult in many Levels if it were up to me. Sure, the Game is not simple, but the "Coffee Time" as the ultimate (and optional) award I have also managed several times after attempts, in which I did not succeed until the 2nd Or even the 3rd attempt. In addition to the Levels, there is also a Kind of Open World in which you run from Level to level and here, too, there are Things to discover and achieve, even if that is also only optional. The Graphics and Soundtrack are beautiful and absolutely fine, the Speakers are good, the Dialogues entertaining. It even has a very good Story for a Platformer and if you don't Value it, You can still keep the Dialogues to a Minimum By Option. So customizable for everyone. :) (The Level of difficulty is also customizable, you can-as far as I know-save it in any level with the Easy option at any Time, if you want to and doesn't have to start over In the event of Failure.) And the Service is also great: The first DLC was available free of charge and the Team responds to Problems almost immediately (!). So: Anyone who can do with the Genre at least a little should just access it. ;)
