I absolutely loved my time with Viewfinder. It’s one of those games that constantly made me smile because it takes a simple idea and does so much with it.
The core mechanic—taking photographs and then placing those images back into the world—is incredibly clever. Turning a 2D photograph into a 3D object you can walk into and interact with opens up so many possibilities. What starts out as a neat gimmick quickly becomes the foundation for some genuinely creative puzzles. Figuring out how to manipulate photos, perspectives, objects, and the environment to reach the next area was consistently satisfying, and I loved those moments when everything suddenly clicked.
The puzzles strike a great balance, too. They’re challenging enough to make you stop and think, but rarely feel frustrating or unfair. The game constantly introduces new ways to use its mechanics, so there’s always that feeling of discovering something new rather than simply repeating the same trick.
And then there’s the presentation. The colourful visuals, fantastic music, and slightly surreal atmosphere all work together beautifully. The world feels mysterious and inviting, and there’s a real sense of joy and curiosity running through the whole experience.
Most of all, Viewfinder is just incredibly fun. It feels like a game built around the simple pleasure of experimenting: “What happens if I try this?” Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but figuring it out is always enjoyable.
Overall, Viewfinder was an absolute joy to play. It’s clever, creative, beautiful, and full of those little moments that remind you why playing games can be so much fun. Definitely one I’d recommend to anyone who enjoys puzzle games or just wants to play something genuinely imaginative.
