Contrast Review (PS4)

A noire and vaudeville inspired world provides a stark background to the hauntingly mature story of a broken family, as a little girl with a friend that nobody can see tries to fix a series of wrongs. While Contrast is a noble effort, perhaps Didi and her invisible friend should have spent their energy on fixing the few wrongs that ultimately hampered this game.

  • Setting, score, and story are entirely worth experiencing.
  • Concept of using shadows to solve puzzlesis intriguing.
  • The overall idea of what Contrast could be...
  • Puzzles are mostly simple, boring, or glitchy.
  • Unsatisfying short length, with no reason for replay.
  • ...failed to realize in the final product.
