See a platform above your head? It’s also somewhere below you too. Thankfully, it’s possible to move in the air so that you can guide your fall rather than plummeting forever. Walk off one platform and you’ll fall forever, passing the same platform you stepped off repeatedly.
Primarily, the whole game is contained within looping worlds. That’s because the world of Manifold Garden follows a few unique rules. Actually achieving any of this is easier said than done however. Line up the world objects so that this line on the floor is connected. A result of expert iterative design, this game boils down its puzzles into simple to understand aims. Most of the objectives in Manifold Garden are self explanatory. While the core aims of the game are familiar in the puzzle genre, everything else about Manifold Garden is entirely unique, steeped in imaginative artwork. At one point in development, this game was titled Relativity after the Escher print it was inspired by. Escher’s work – impossible geometry, complex architectural mazes, portals and perspective based reality – and adapts them for game play mechanics. Manifold Garden is a game that takes the core principles of artist M.C. I’d go as far as to say that the PS5 version is the definitive way to play Manifold Garden. The PS5 version doesn’t see any huge design improvements but does improve the overall experience.
GAMESPOT MANIFOLD GARDEN REVIEW PC
The Xbox One version that I called “the best first person puzzle game since Portal 2” last year had been significantly tightened up over the original PC version I’d played a year prior. Each time I’ve had a chance to play it, it has been improved somewhat. You’d think I’d be tired of playing through Manifold Garden, having done so 3 times already. Now here I am in 2021, saying it again for the PlayStation 5 launch. I reiterated it when I reviewed the game for its Xbox One launch in 2020. I said that when the game first launched on PC back in 2019. In my estimation, Manifold Garden is one of the best puzzle games to release in the past 5 years. Arriving on PS5, Manifold Garden is still one of the best and most though provoking puzzle games on the market.
