Metamorphosis

"You are turned into a tiny bug and it is unusual experience. Just too short."

"Metamorphosis is a game based on the world created by Franz Kafka in his novella The Metamorphosis or Die Verwandlung in the original German. It sees you take on this quirky universe from an insect’s point of view. Are you …"

"This bug-filled game transforms you into a bug set right in a Frank Kafka novel. It&s;s creepy-crawly, surreal adventure game fun. The visual, voice acting, and music put you in a magical insect world you will enjoy from start to …"

"Metamorphosis is a great and heartfelt adaptation of Kafka&s;s work and an amazing fun game to play."

"I would recommend the game, but with the caveat that it is only going to be for a certain sort of gamer. If you think you might be interested, give the demo a try and go from there. If it&s;s …"

"When all is said and done, Metamorphosis is a relatively solid game. It&s;s not without its faults but it does what it was trying to do; to tell a Kafkaesque story. It&s;s an interesting game, certainly, but doesn&s;t have much …"

"Metamorphosis VR has so much potential, but movement is awkward and a fair few bugs held me back from appreciating it fully."

"Metamorphosis may be a short game, but it’s still one I would recommend. From the wonderfully done level design to the fun platforming and cryptic storyline, there’s some good stuff here. Granted, that story kinda crashes and burns by the …"

"But it feels more like a quite short interactive experience, rather than a videogame. Metamorphosis lacks variety and cohesive gameplay, focusing too much on the story and the atmosphere. As such even the current price may seem a bit high …"

"Metamorphosis is a good puzzle/adventure game with some platformer elements, but it fails to take the experience quite as far as it could. If you are into the surreal, consider it a solid option for a little creative time-wasting on …"

"Metamorphosis is a solidly made puzzle-platformer with a few adventure mechanics on the side for good measure. Taking a literary classic that some consider to be interminable and creating a lively and amusing game world from it, the devs at …"

"Metamorphosis is a creative, albeit short, video game interpretation of Franz Kafka’s novella. The game absolutely nails the creepy, absurd vibe of the story all about turning into a cockroach and trying to work as a bug. Metamorphosis is a …"

"In the end, Metamorphosis is a good game despite issues with NPC animation and dialogue. Although intentionally creepy and psychologically thrilling, which some may be off-put by especially if they despise insects of any kind. Metamorphosis offers excellent gameplay, controls, …"

"Metamorphosis spins a bittersweet, intriguing web of mystery and humour that, albeit brief, is often an utter joy to crawl through, if you&s;re willing to brace a disappointing final stretch, inconsistent graphics, and myriad technical issues."

"One thing indie titles have excelled at is providing gamers with very new, and sometimes very weird, experiences… perhaps perfectly epitomized with something like Metamorphosis..."

"Metamorphosis manages to whip up an impressive tribute to Franz Kafka in its quick story thanks to its offbeat sense of humor, style and eye-catching world."

"Metamorphosis has a great premise and a very intelligent story. I’m not gonna lie, playing as a bug in a first-person perspective was impressive at first. Too bad this one of the most unpolished games I have ever played in …"

"While the story-telling, environments, and narration might intrigue, Metamorphosis VR has too many technical issues to allow one to truly enjoy the experience."

"Metamorphosis isn’t an easy game to complete. Not quite because it’s challenging, but because it feels heavy and repetitive. Despite these problems, the game is still a great experience, really giving the player the feeling they’re reading Kafka’s book."

"As a retelling of three of Franz Kafka’s best-known works, Metamorphosis has a lot to live up to and it does so quite well. It will leave you wanting a little more after your playthrough, but the gameplay, visuals and …"

"It’s a bold release that they took a chance on. For the most part, they executed it decently. I wish more developers took on something oddball like this, as it does provide a unique journey that most wouldn’t have dreamed …"

"Maybe the weirdest thing about Metamorphosis is that it takes an old, respected story, and turns it into a dark mirror of the video game adaptation of Pixar&s;s A Bug’s Life. Somehow, despite its issues, that works."

"I don&s;t know if I&s;ll see more games inspired by classic existential literature. Is a gaming adaptation of Camus&s; The Stranger on the way? Who knows? But for what it is, Metamorphosis is a pretty fun way to experience an …"

"The world of Metamorphosis is surprising, imaginative, intriguing and full of color, although a certain poverty of the 3D models and textures betrays the independent nature of the project. All in all, a very interesting twist on Franz Kafka&s;s novel."

"Metamorphosis is a unique work, very well executed and with narrative layers that are sure to please Kafka enthusiasts and his legacy. Adventurous and with a very particular narrative point of view, the game proves to be a satisfying, but …"

"If you’re after a short platforming adventure with a story that will make you think just as much as the odd puzzle, you’d be wise to give Metamorphosis a try."

"Metamorphosis takes Kafka&s;s universe and transfers it to the video game with great solvency, offering a game where narrative and playability go hand in hand. The wonderful world recreated will constantly amaze us and it does it with a quite …"

"A lot of Kafka’s spirit shines through in this game with the illogical mixed with the depressingly truthful and real. It’s such a shame then that the Xbox One version is beset with so many technical hiccups that threaten to …"

"Metamorphosis captures players&s; attention with its unique gameplay and excellent sense of scale. However, the story loses momentum, and the game ends too quickly."

"Metamorphosis is a visually appealing game set in a Kafkaesque world of surrealism and dreamlike qualities. Unfortunately, there are bugs (not the insects in the game) that break immersion and make gameplay frustrating at times."

"Metamorphosis is a love letter to Franz Kafka, that, unfortunately, is in pretty rough shape on the Nintendo Switch. The stuttering, texture pop-in, and hard crashes overshadow an experience that could otherwise be described as generally enjoyable. Witty dialogue, challenging …"
