- Quadrilateral Cowboy’s puzzles are mostly a joy to play. Its command line hacking is surprisingly accessible and pleasingly tactile, and when combined with its many interesting gadgets it allows for plenty of creative problem-solving and freedom in tackling all manner of whimsical cybercrime.
Chloi Rad · Jul 28, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Instead, I was just enjoying figuring out how to beat the puzzle at hand, and it would have been nice to have a few more of those. But it's a minor quibble. QuadCow is still worth your time: smart, engaging, and memorable.
Steven Burns · Jul 28, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The latest from the creator of Gravity Bone and Atom Zombie Smasher is a weird and heartfelt espionage adventure you won't soon forget.
Tom Chick · Jul 27, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Quadrilateral Cowboy succeeds in astonishing ways: It makes you feel like an incredibly accomplished computer hacker and agent of espionage. It creates an eccentric, thorough world that feels good to exist in and creates characters you can empathise with, despite the lack of a clear plot thread. Quadrilateral Cowboy presents you with a spectrum of moments, and each moment makes you feel great.
Edmond Tran · Jul 25, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The drawbacks didn't seriously damage my time with Quadrilateral Cowboy. It's a smart puzzle game, overflowing with personality. Even though it doesn't quite reach its full potential, I dare say I'll return to out-heist my friends and colleagues when the leaderboards go live for the wider gaming community. If you like capers, neat gadgets and weird worlds, it's a steal.
Tom Senior · Jul 25, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Quadrilateral Cowboy is a strange, fantastic journey that will likely charm and test you in equal measure. I expect to come back to it many times over the next few months despite having completed it, searching the environments for nuggets of the story hidden away in the corners of each level and striving to become the best thief this side of cyberspace.
Javy Gwaltney · Jul 25, 2016 Reviewed on PC - It's clear Blendo is hoping other players take these toys and run with them; there is, in fact, a large button that reads "Mods" right there on the main menu. But as it stands now, Quadrilateral Cowboy feels like a wonderfully designed class in a beautiful, fascinating school that stops just short of showing how much fun you can have after graduation.
Justin McElroy · Jul 25, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - There are no other games like Quadrilateral Cowboy, and it will likely stay that way. It’s a unique blend of computer science, puzzles, and beautiful storytelling that could only come from Blendo Games. The engine is a bit worse for wear and I definitely wish there were more to play, but damn if this isn’t one of the coolest games out there.
Patrick Hancock · Jul 25, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Quadrilateral Cowboy is an innovative puzzler that plays with both the angles of hacking and heist films in a terrific way, making for something that those who enjoy brain-teasers with a bit of spice will enjoy. The wait for this one was indeed worth it in the end, so prepare to fire up that black-and-white monitor and enjoy this twisted little potential gem as you experience the best that gleefully outdated cyberpunk tech has to offer.
Kyle LeClair · Jul 25, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - I can easily recommend Quadrilateral Cowboy, one of my favorite indie games so far this year, to anyone looking for an adventure game that brings something that feels fresh and new to the table and leaves you feeling smart as you've become a hacking god, or in this case goddess.
