    A soap factory called Vessel is awaiting your engagement into the game with its many ideas. Don't worry that you've never heard of this puzzle platform title, it may still be the best puzzle-solving game of the year.

    Flawless indie platformer is extremely catchy for its visuals, smart puzzles and perfectly balanced difficulty. Vessel is the reason why you should watch the independent scene more carefully. [Apr 2012]

    Vessel annoyed me at first with the more sub-optimal control, but the more I've played, the more fun but I had it.

    This game is wonderful. Solid. Great puzzles, great story, loved the fluros. The puzzles were great and really put your mind in a tiff in trying to figuring them out, without being annoying. I loved the graphics, it reminded me of gaming back in the day, no of that cgi bullcrap. Overall, wonderful game. Looking for the sequel. Oh, and nice ending!… Expand

    Vessel is a unique experience and a fun puzzle game. One thing that I am surprised no one mentioned before is that the whole world is simulated in physics and even the characters are made out of particles as opposed to being modeled and scripted by the game designers. And for something made like that, the game is holding together really well. Another interesting thing I read yesterday is that the game was made by a few people as opposed to the big game team, and yet personally I think it is just as good as some of those games so I give it an extra plus for that. Puzzles are fresh and exciting and you really have to think to solve them, but once you figure out solution it feels really good. Like you accomplished something. Game also looks really nice, particularly the later levels, and the music fits it well. I really enjoyed it and I am looking forward to more. I hope they make Vessel 2.… Expand
