positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The suspense is terrible,i hope it’ll last.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Puzzle game where you slide frames to complete the level. It's all about swifting scenery, want to hide? Place frame with the corner, want to get up? Swap current tile with the ladder. Rotate and turn world upside down.,, Animation is great and fun to watch. Puzzles interesting enough to hold you on for a while. Story is your typical crime based content. Music is a bit jazzy and fits the atmosphere just right. Pretty good if you ask me, but you must be in mood for some puzzle solving or…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Masterpiece! 8/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great choice of two games. The game features impressive graphics and visuals, and in general, it is quite straightforward to achieve 100% completion. Typically, it requires approximately three hours to accomplish this. If you haven't tried this game yet, I strongly suggest you give it a shot!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is it 9/10? NO Is it still a solid game? YES PROS + nice music (albeit repetetive) + nice visuals + relaxing CONS - there is some story, but with no dialogue, not text, everything silent, if you are not good at "reading the room" there is no story for you - the game dosnt like alt-tabing - difficulty swings: some levels can be breeze, some can be quite frustrating NEUTRAL ° short 3h
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A must try for puzzle fans. The music, art style, plot, and gameplay all tie together exceptionally well. Playing it is an absolute joy, and even though the story is minimal, it was compelling enough to fully immerse me in its world. It really felt like watching an old spy movie chase scene. The "ending" was also a nice touch. I love the optional paths the player can find to trigger amusing game overs or interactions. The achievements are easy to obtain without a guide if one enjoys…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Neat art style and charming animations, but the gameplay struggled to find balance between too easy and frustrating. It's kinda fun in the middle, but gets really rather frustrating toward the end. The puzzles require a lot of trial and error to find the magic solution. You don't know which direction the character will go, or how they'll interact with something. And then you get the puzzles where you have to re-arrange panels during playback, while stuff is happening in them. It's not bad as…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I read a comic book and played a video game at the same time. While playing the game, I kept wondering about the next panel. I watched the last scenes with my mouth agape. I never expected it to end in such a way.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reviewing (mostly) every game (or DLC) in my library, part 246: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆☆ (7/10) FRAMED Collection is one of those indie gems that hits you with an immediate “wow” factor. A noir detective story told entirely through comic panels you can rearrange? Yes, it’s as cool as it sounds. But while the concept is sharp and the presentation is gorgeous, the novelty wears off quicker than expected. It’s a slick, clever, visually stunning game that just doesn’t go as deep as I’d hoped. Still, for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A lighthearted, fun, short, super polished game, and it's pretty cheap! Don't expect a very deep or moving story; it is mostly an excuse to play some entertaining puzzles. Those of which are very light. They won't kidnap you for an eternity, at most it will take you 10 minutes to pass the harder puzzles. Very charming visuals, of course. It's impressive all the twist they gave to a single mechanic, so creative! All the animated failure states in the game give the impression of a very meticulous…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →FRAMED Collectionis a good game. Rearrange the panels of an animated comic book to craft the story of a noir-styled spy adventure. The graphics are great and the ambiant is so cool. I recommend it!!! 🖤🖤🖤
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Meh. The concept was interesting but I really feel like it was such a missed opportunity for the game devs to create a unique AND challenging puzzle game, when they added several parts of the story with just 2 puzzle pieces in it. Like??? Well obviously the answer is just the opposite of whatever is presented to you. Seriously. 😑 When I finished the game I thought, "Okay, uninstall.", not "Well that was fun!". P.S. I haven't received all card drops yet so expect the playing hours to still…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Framed is a unique puzzle game where you rearrange comic panels to solve puzzles. It has a stylish art design and clever mechanics, making it a fun and short experience for puzzle lovers.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not like puzzle games but this one got me hooked. Even the storytelling wasn't lame. 8/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This appears to be a simple puzzle game on its surface, but it has a unique twist that can make some of the later levels complex. Fun on Deck.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Framed 1 and 2 are both a cool short puzzle game with unique gameplay in which you rearrange panels. The animation is nice and unique. The game plays great on steam deck.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice gimmick but a bit overpriced for something so short and linear. (Some of my time was spent 100%ing and idling at the background)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Puzzles delivered in a comic-book art style makes for a fun experience. The jazz soundtrack is icing on the cake.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Framed is a high concept puzzler: rearrange the panels of comic pages so that your characters successfully move through them. I did not enjoy the game's execution though. There's a ton of trial and error - you won't know how characters move through the panels until you watch the animations... over and over... and over again. One of the puzzles in the collection is 100% brute force which is very disappointing to see. Sequencing is also an issue, with some puzzles utilizing different sized…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Video Game Comic Book A short review of Framed 1 & 2 Become an architect of the story, not just a player Framed is much more than a simple puzzle game: it’s a clever tribute to sequential storytelling — a kind of interactive graphic noir where each comic panel becomes a lever to reshape fate. Here, you don’t play within the frame, but with the frame. The core mechanic is all about rearranging or reinterpreting comic panels to rewrite the action. The gameplay revolves entirely around…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Framed Collection: A Stylish Comic Adventure The game is a unique comic-framed logic puzzle with platforming elements. You rearrange animated comic panels to change the story, creating a dynamic and engaging experience. Gameplay Framed Collection includes Framed 1 and Framed 2, offering a short but exciting puzzle-solving adventure. Each level challenges you to swap and rotate panels to guide the character through the scene. The mechanics are simple yet clever, rewarding creativity and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →unique puzzle game I liked it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An interesting puzzle game. Good for a short afternoon. It OOZES style.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an excellent, elegant, short puzzler. The animation is charming, the minimalistic approach is perfect. The puzzles aren't too hard, but are fun and engaging to work out. As you progress you get a simple but satisfying cat and mouse pursuit. It doesn't overstay it's welcome and is once again clean, elegant, and enjoyable. Play it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →8/10 Cozy short cops and robbers puzzle There isn't a major stress factor and you can easily pause ths game if the characters move too fast. I found the game easy to play when i want something simple to wind down with. I really really love the artwork of the game and the comic style. It makes me forget how simple the gameplay actually is. I wish more games put this much effort into their artistic design.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A quaint little comic-style puzzle adventure game. I love the lack of explanations and dialogue, it's good for those who enjoy learning the game and story by just playing it straight. Fairly light game, low stress and some decent challenges. Also an interesting way to display the credits titles!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an absolutely fun puzzle game, where you have to arrange panels to make a story. This is a stress buster. The standout feature of this game is that even if you fail, you won't be frustrated. The fails are even funnier in my opinion. Whether you like puzzle games or not, this is the sort of game you will absolutely love.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An incredibly clever puzzle experience that turns the simple concept of framing into a brilliant, mind-bending journey of perspective.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Charmingly good puzzle game. - From a guy who normally doesn't play puzzle games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally completed it after being in the collection for years. Delivers what it promises: a unique kind of puzzles, served with an occasional laugh. For me it was not too short, as I didn't look up any clues, sweating and swearing - but quite rewarding afterwards. At the end well worth the ride! (And now I can finally get to newer incarnations which I hope are as good.)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game. Card drops are too long. I 100% completed the game and got 1 card out of 8 that are supposed to drop.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →FRAMED Collection is a really unique puzzle game where you don’t directly control the character, you control the story itself. The main mechanic is moving comic book panels around so events play out correctly. You’re basically rearranging scenes so the character avoids danger and progresses through each level. It starts off simple, but later puzzles get more creative as you rotate and reuse panels to figure out the right sequence. What makes it fun is watching your solution play out like a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Framed Collection was a great game for your phone and now it's a great game for you computer as you move the frames of a comic to retell a story and survive another page. It's also less than $2. store.steampowered.com/app/322450/F...

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →FRAMED Collection, developed by Loveshack Entertainment and published by Fellow Traveller, is a stylish and inventive puzzle anthology that combines the award-winning titles FRAMED and FRAMED 2 into one cohesive experience. Released on Steam in 2018, the collection delivers a unique blend of interactive storytelling and visual artistry, inviting players to manipulate comic book panels to reshape the flow of its narrative. The premise is simple but ingenious: each level unfolds as a silent…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR Mixed review. Great concept with a neat art style but sadly most solutions of the puzzles are not that satisfying Pros: Very innovative puzzle idea Art style is decent Music is pretty good It is possible to change the timeline mid run. Once you see what happens in your current tile you can adjust the following ones accordingly without the need to start a new run Neither of the two games drag for too long. It takes about 2-3h to beat both games Cons: Both games present you four…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a very satisfying version of this type of mechanic. Buy Storyteller instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →🎞️ Framed Collection — A Stylish Puzzle Gem 🧩🖤 Playtime: 2–3 hours (but unforgettable) Few games blend art and gameplay as elegantly as Framed Collection. You don’t just play this game—you rearrange it. With its unique comic panel mechanics, smooth animation, and a jazzy noir soundtrack, every level feels like a living graphic novel. It’s short, but every moment is polished and purposeful. Perfect for a relaxed evening with headphones on. ✔️ Pros: Original and clever puzzle mechanics…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gets good reviews and for a casual puzzle gamer it might appeal to you. For me I found it to slow and boring unfortunately but everyone to there own. Thumbs up for what they are trying to do but not for me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reinstalled the game recently,but won't load. Used to work just fine.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a collection of really unique puzzle game with a clever comic-style mechanic. I loved figuring out the right panel order to change the story’s outcome and following the storyline. Going for all the achievements was a fun extra layer of challenge what didn't take too much extra time.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Note: I played this on the Steam Deck. To run: No changes needed, ran straight away. How it played: Fun little indie game. Short but cool logic puzzles. Rating: 7.5/10 + Recommended
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Framed 1 & 2 are clever puzzle games where you change the order or rotation of comic book-like panels in order to help a spy character evade police and escape the scene. P.S. In case you're looking to get all Framed Collection achievements and cannot earn the "Standing Ovation" one (fully watch both games' end credits), then here's a hint by DuelistKoi93 that I found on Framed Steam Community page Discussions: " - - - Game crashes after finishing first FRAMED If there's an achivement for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thought it was a unique puzzle game, havent played any similar games before where you switch pictures to complete the story. Was a few pages I struggled with and had to try a few times, but overall most of them wasnt that complicated.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unique gameplay, i like it
