  Guayota is a good puzzle game, as long as players are willing to overlook some issues. The level design is great, and the title knows how to introduce gameplay ideas gradually and to gently ramp up difficulty. The concept of having two versions for all levels and having gamers move between them when their torch runs out is solid. I like that there are no threats in the dark version. But the developers should have offered a clear way to move back to the light level or give players more than one chance at solving it. The game’s narrative might not offer a strong enough hook if frustration sets in. Guayota’s world and puzzles are engaging but the game makes it hard for players to fully enjoy them.

  Even without being the prettiest or most technically polished game, Guayota has that halo of pride and ambition to carve a niche for itself in this summer's crowded calendar. The dubbing and localisation of the game is outstanding, and the sound and soundtrack create the atmosphere to immerse you in the adventure, which already has an enormous value in recovering and spreading the Canarian tradition and its legends. If you were looking for a challenge to sharpen your mind, the legend of Guayota awaits you.

  We really wanted to love Guayota, because it has so many appealing elements: the lore drew us in, the audiovisual presentation is well above average, and the core puzzle gameplay is simple but effective. It’s a shame that the overall experience is diminished by a handful of odd design choices that feel directly opposite to the philosophies of a puzzle game. Even so, Guayota is by no means a bad game and is worth seeking out for its deep dive into Guanche folklore alone.

  While there were moments I genuinely enjoyed solving Guayota’s puzzles, these are often overshadowed by design choices that end up hindering fun instead fostering it.

  Guayota blends together some excellent puzzle mechanics, a nice setting and a lovely Lovecraftian story. Unfortunately, the final ingredient is a series of irritating traps, which hurts the otherwise stellar gameplay.

  Guayota contains a great deal of difficulty and tested my patience quite well. I loved how it implemented puzzles in a way that isolated puzzles on a per-dungeon basis. However, I wanted a bigger payoff from completing its more difficult-levels, and I wanted the light version of the levels to have something to ease the difficulty. That said, Guayota was a great test of my logic and reasoning skills in the few hours I spent in-game. I loved the aesthetic, design, and general level construction, so it’s worth playing if you’re interested in an indie gem with unique puzzles for an afternoon playthrough.

  Guayota è un puzzle game costruito e sviluppato su poche meccaniche, ma ben innestate tra di loro. La direzione artistica piacevole e alcune soluzioni utili per risolvere gli enigmi rendono il progetto estremamente solido. Purtroppo la ripetitività è dietro l’angolo visto che gli enigmi si susseguono in sequenza, senza mai introdurre vere novità.
