For: I Wanna Lockpick
This review is based on a 100% clear of the demo, it may be updated if I ever finish the full game when that comes out.
I play a lot of adventure fangames, and if you have seen me talk or play adventure games there's probably eventually gonna be a point where I complain about puzzles. For some reason puzzles don't click with me the way it does for others. I get frustrated, I get annoyed, I give up easily, and I just look for a solution online because I don't care. I had basically accepted that puzzles were not me, and that I would never be able to enjoy them. I Wanna Lockpick was the game that challenged this idea.
I will probably never be able to explain what made this game so fun for me, but I loved it. On a surface level Lockpick is a game with a ton of unique ideas and gimmicks baked underneath an incredibly simple premise, get keys, open doors. There's a ton of super interesting mechanics which can often times completely change how you go about the puzzle solving process, but in a lot of ways it feels like as you progress, you get this toolbox of mechanics you learn about and get comfortable with, and as you do so you begin to understand the kinds of thinking and logic you need to solve puzzles in this game. This to me, kept the game very fresh, as it felt like the way I saw the game changed with every world, and I had new stuff to learn. The game is very tough, particularly the final puzzle of the game is a true monster, but there's just so many great and challenging puzzles here that kept it so interesting and fresh, not to mention the number of puzzles which stray from the Keypick design philosophy and are more about playing with wacky concepts or mechanics in creative ways. There was always something new to appreciate with this game and I was certainly never bored. I am very impressed with this game, and even if it ends up being too much for me, I'm quite excited to see how the full version expands on this crazy game even more.
