If you like Kermit series and goes in expecting some similar stuff, you will be probably discouraged. Figure is very hefty needle-oriented game in not the same vein as beloved Kermits. Needle is way more strict and way more about precise jumps instead of exploration of funny gimmicks in general. Some gimmicks will be there, but not that many, and even when they are, frame-perfects are not sleeping and will be there as well very often

Not that i'm hater of frame-perfects, and tbh this is not exact term that i mean to use. What i'm saying about is this game has some really nasty jumps and sometimes entirely gross saves. Sometimes in generic way, sometimes in frame-perfect way, but i think you will always spot this shit when you see it. Mines stage in 3X hub is pure example of what i'm talking about. It's not constantly bad, but i think maker just put them way too much and in very unpleasant ways in this game. Kermit 3 has some stuff like this, but Kermit 3 is heaven in that comparison

Some needle tho was actually very fun and based. Pretty much everything up to 3X hub was fine, with highlight being infamous Boys screens, space visuals screens, one room that got changing many times and i also liked iconic things like moving water save and floor 22 - it was actually probably my favourite hard needle in the game. 3X hub has also pretty fun stuff like refresher stage or stage with a lot of platform cycles. Didn't find final stage fun tho, because main gimmick felt like filler and it was just mostly hard usual needle without very interesting stuff (and with many "frame-perfects")

Bosses were actual bangers. They are rare and mostly located in 3X hub, but they were quite awesome for most part. Final avoidance was chill and enjoyable as well

Overall, it was decent experience and i had mostly good time, despite all bad things. If you interesting in hard gimmick games there are better picks as well as hard usual needle games, but it was still fun. If you are just in general hunting for hard needle it might be your halt

I am not quite sure exactly where I stand on Figure at the end of the day. There are some certainties about it, however, that I can henceforth list:

Difficulty - This is one hell of a game in this respect, being damn near insurmountable to me at times. Once I got going, however, momentum more or less carried me to the end. There are a couple of standout saves, but for the most part I found the game to be fairly consistent in difficulty with a few smaller spikes and dips here and there - a quality which I find to be to the game's benefit. Variety in difficulty is never a bad thing, and I quite enjoy never knowing whether or not the save coming up will be a mountain or an anthill.

Originality - Something to be found in spades here is the utterly unique style and aesthetic that wonderful is so well known for at this point. With that said, I find Figure to be a rather different shade of her typical fare as compared to the Kermit trilogy, a shade that I don't necessarily prefer, but is by no means inferior, merely different. This is thanks to the especially simplistic visuals and general lack of particularly vibrant gimmicks.

These two facets of Figure are easy to describe, but what I find most difficult to write out is just how the overall package makes me feel. Figure is rather peculiar to me, in that sense. I have been left speechless by a game before, but that's more often due to my overwhelming emotional connection to them, and after a while I'm able to figure out how to put my love for those games into words. With Figure, however, I am left with feelings that I suppose I've just never experienced before. That, I think, is the true wonder of Figure. For a creator that is well known for truly odd-ball experiences, she has really outdone herself with this one.

All the game is a fog of confusion with a total lack of cohesion. For how much content there was, I didn't really ever know when it was going to end until I found myself at the final avoidance. With most other games, there is a sense of progression and a flow to the overall design, but here that progression and flow feels nebulous, like this journey is without direction. This, I imagine, is sort of what it could feel like to float through space aimlessly, not knowing which star or planet you could find yourself in proximity to from one day to another - at least, if you had an eternity to do so, seeing as most of your time floating would be in emptiness. Nonetheless, that is more or less how I can express Figure to myself. It is a totally unpredictable game that I could never get a read on even by the end.

My only issue with the game is that it does not resonate with me as much as, for example, Kermit 3 does, but then it obviously isn't supposed to. Figure takes a different artistic approach, one that does not mimic any other that I've ever seen, and that it is not one which I am totally in love with is through no fault of its own. Perhaps, however, I could come to completely adore Figure with time. Even now, I already feel myself wanting to go through it all over again. So maybe this review will be different come tomorrow, or maybe it will never change. The only thing I can say with certainty is that Figure is a game well worth playing if you have the skill and dedication to try it out.
