Critic Reviews
- Closure is another fantastic puzzler that belongs in the Steam library of anyone that enjoyed Portal or Vessel. Though the level of precision required to solve some puzzles is a little beyond my taste, it’s great that games of this nature are starting to become so prolific that those looking for puzzles with a little more bite can find them.
Lawrence Sonntag · Sep 13, 2012 Reviewed on PC - Though the step and repeat nature of inching a light source in tandem with a key can grow tiresome, the great puzzles and light-hearted platforming don’t butt heads very often. Closure’s grip of levels aren’t so devious that you won’t exhaust them in a few play sessions, but there are more than enough secrets for those willing to repeatedly wade into the shadows.
Game Trailers · Apr 04, 2012 Reviewed on PS3 - Closure relies heavily on its novel mechanics to create an enticing puzzler. But this is more than just a clever gimmick. The steady difficulty curve and wealth of ideas offer an uncommon experience, and the effective artistic design meshes wonderfully with these aspects. Closure is a smart, original adventure that makes you fear darkness above all else because one misstep can spell your doom.
Tom Mc Shea · Apr 04, 2012 Reviewed on PC, PS3Read full review - Closure’s faults can’t prevent it from, at times, reaching some of the greatest heights in the puzzle-platforming genre. Once you get to the final ten stages, you are in pure puzzle-platforming bliss. Or hell. I suppose, bliss, then hell, then bliss again. But that’s the fun of a game like this: it demands that you be smarter than you thought you were an hour ago, and it leaves you feeling like you really accomplished something great by its end.
Allistair Pinsof · Apr 03, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - It’s tough as nails at points, but its trial-by-death design is elegant and suspenseful. Despite immediate comparisons to Limbo, it’s a game that really toys with your perceptions differently, despite the similar dimly-lit art style. There’s a compulsion at play here that’ll keep you doggedly determined to crack through its well-made brain-twisters.
Sterling McGarvey · Mar 30, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Closure offers up a unique puzzle experience set in a wonderfully moody environment caught somewhere between the designs of Dan Paladin and Edward Gorey. The curious properties of its light add a distinct twist to the traditional logic puzzle genre -- specifically by infusing it with a heavy dose of illogic. It loses a bit of steam in the middle, but dedicated puzzle fans will want to see it through to the end.
Richard Mitchell · Mar 29, 2012 Reviewed on PS3 - Stylish and engaging, Closure’s thoughtful and pensive approach to the puzzle genre should be applauded. It controls smoothly and looks and sounds great as it both punishes and rewards. It strikes just the right balance that all puzzle games should strive for; something that even untalented puzzle gamers shouldn’t feel frustrated with while engendering a more hardcore, gifted puzzle audience with its own unique set of challenges.
Colin Moriarty · Mar 27, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Closure may stop short of delivering the sort of swashbuckling adventure one might hope for from a journey through this shadowy netherworld, but it remains thoroughly enjoyable puzzle game that twists your brain in all sorts of maddening directions while keeping the answers just out of reach. It's just a shame that in the end Closure couldn't provide more, um, closure.
Jeffrey Matulef · Sep 07, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - If Sony's Spring Fever event headliner Journey wasn't enough of a game for you, then Closure should be right up your alley. The presentation here is secondary to an interesting take on puzzle gameplay, and the value is pretty impressive for the price. So give Closure a chance, but don't blame me if you start using a nightlight.
Karl Koebke · Mar 30, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Recently I’ve found myself playing a lot of the PSN’s new puzzle game releases, and Closure is one of the best I’ve played. It’s innovative, it’s challenging, and it isn’t something that’s really been done before. Learning to think about your surroundings differently because of what you can and can’t see was a fun yet enjoyable challenge.
