unlabelledView post →Oh, by the way, I reviewed Darwin's Paradox, a game that has some legitimately cool perspective-shifting platforming ideas but often can't get out of its own way, and maybe one of the worst endings I've seen in years www.cgmagonline.com/review/game/...

unlabelledView post →Finished Darwin's Paradox. It was...meh? I think some of the puzzle sections were very good, but near the end the game uses way too many chase sequences that are really bad. The stealth is also way too binary. If you get spotted one time it's instant death. Very lopsided game.
unlabelledView post →New schedule is set & there are some new games! I'll be playing through Darwin's Paradox (thanks Keymailer & Konami)! After beating Disco Elysium my next big game was picked - Darkest Dungeon! I hear it's a tough one, I can't wait! Friday is co-op chaos & more Fatal Frame 2!

unlabelledView post →I recently finished playing Darwin's Paradox! IMO it's like Finding Nemo meets INSIDE/Ori and the Blind Forest. The game mechanics feel really organic (ie. ceiling fans to redirect players, camouflage for stealth). Lots of silly Looney-tunes-esque SFX + perfectly goopy octopus tentacle Foley 🐙

unlabelledView post →I tried the Darwin's Paradox demo on Switch 2 and I'm sad to say it looks horrible definitely the worst looking Switch 2 game I've seen looks even worse than Switch 1 games which is very unfortunate as I like the gameplay and I've seen footage of the PS5 version which looks great.
unlabelledView post →Well it looks like the only game announced in today's Sony updates that I am at all interested in is Darwin's Paradox. It looks like a game I could see myself playing and having fun with. Other than that... Not so much.
unlabelledView post →I just finished Darwin's Paradox! 🐙 🛸 🌌 I loved it! A cinematic platformer with a wide variety of gameplay, lots of humor and plenty of references. It often reminded me of Mars Attacks and the Minions 🥳 I want a sequel! #DarwinsParadox #CinematicPlatformer #ZDTStudio

unlabelledView post →I started Darwin's Paradox. It's easy-going and clever enough, totally a game out of time. Feels like it should've come out in 2009 with Wii and DS versions that played completely differently. I should've rented it from GameFly after reading about it in Nintendo Power

unlabelledView post →28) Darwin's Paradox! A game that I really wish I loved more, but between a pretty overinflated price for its length, and a wet fart of an ending, I can only really recommend on discount Longer thoughts in image as usual.

unlabelledView post →Darwin's Paradox! Konami taking a risk with a new IP and I'm for it, this is such a charming 2.5 platformer definitely a game made for kids and long time Konami fans so many lil refences to other series. Some of the Puzzles had me stumped but it was a blast to go through!

unlabelledView post →I think Konami has started their comeback arc! MGS Delta was exactly what I wanted it to be. I'm super excited for the MGS4 remaster and the new Castlevania and SH game, especially after SHf. They're also taking risks on new IPs like Darwin's Paradox and Rev Noir. I'm rooting for them!
unlabelledView post →It's not part of the next fest or anything but one I've recently found impossible to get on Steam is the Tactical Octopus Action demo for Darwin's Paradox. Clicking the listing takes you to the store page for the full game with no way to get the demo. Yet it's still there on every other platform.

unlabelledView post →First five minutes of "Darwin's Paradox" opens strong. A 2D sidescrolling platform (starting in a gorgeous 3D environment) game with a cute little octopus that has to rely on its brains, and a plot where they clearly wanted us to immediately see the twist coming.

unlabelledView post →Game #22 of 2026: Darwin's Paradox! - a 2.5D cinematic puzzle-platformer where you play as an octopus in search of his loved one. Tonally, it's a bit of Mars Attacks! and Destroy All Humans! I liked it, but it's rough around the edges. I completed the game at 100% with the Platinum trophy earned.
