Play it, love it. dont be ashamed to use guides.
One of the best games of my life. also outragously hard.
Best shared with a friend, to spread the suffering (affectionate)

Void Stranger fans are crazy to say "This game is so good, but I can't tell you why! You just have to play it yourself!" when the secret they're hiding is that you have to replay the same puzzles a bazillion million times.

I love Sokobans. But Void Stranger hates being a Sokoban. Sokobans are too straightforward, too mechanically honest, and entirely lacking in pretentiousness. No, Void Stranger would rather be a boring meta pseudo-ARG, even at the expense of the actual puzzles.

The puzzles are bland. There's way too many of them for the average quality level. If they were ever interesting, it was before the seventy eighth thousandth repetition. The game has no undo, so sometimes even a braindead easy puzzle you're rushing through out of boredom will cost you a life. Oh, yeah, this game has a life system. This PUZZLE game has a LIFE system. If you lose all of them, you can either restart from the very beginning and (redo puzzles!), or continue with a easy mode of sorts with "consequences". It'd be one thing if these "consequences" were restricted to the story (which, so far, doesn't seem that interesting), but this mode also removes the optional crystals, making the already tedious and bland puzzles even blander. Not sure what the "challenge" in doing things over is supposed to be. It's just tedium. At least the music is nice.

TL:DR: Avoid Stranger

I very much have not finished this game yet, but I am very invested in the plot/lore stuff I've been getting drip-fed
