-
Feb 17, 201180Stacking makes use of some inventive gameplay mechanics that lets the player decide what kind of experience it wants to get out of the game. Accessibility, clever puzzle design, a charismatic world and oodles of fun are what developer Double Fine whips up into this delicious little game.
-
Feb 15, 201180Stacking rarely treks toward the outskirts of the playroom, and not as far into alternative humour territory as some Schafer fans would hope. But instead it offers a fully-formed, self-contained world of colour and quaintness, charm, and more importantly an individuality of its own.

-
Feb 10, 201180Stacking, the lastest title of Double Fine, combines original gameplay with a scenario full of a nicely sick humour. The challenges are divided in several levels, allowing the brain-lazy to enjoy the story, while others pick their brains trying to complete the game at 100%. But the art direction by itsleft is worth the small price asked by the developer for this little jewel of an adventure / puzzle game. So play with dolls!
-
Feb 10, 201180Yet another creative, unique game from Double Fine. Who would guess playing with dolls could be this much fun?
-
Feb 10, 201180Stacking's best qualities are its eccentricity and ingenuity. The puzzles lack the tortured bite of Double Fine's early work, but in broadening the narrative-led puzzle game's scope and carefully choosing which elements of tradition to keep and which to discard, Stacking is a bold and charming reinvention.
-
Feb 10, 201180Other than that, Stacking is a doll of a game. [March 2011, p.83]
-
Feb 9, 201180An enchanting world seamlessly combines with fun gameplay and rewarding puzzles to make Stacking a magical adventure.
-
Feb 9, 201180If you love just messing around within an engaging world and you aren't merely single-mindedly driven toward a goal, Stacking will delight you. But if you're one of those impatient people who can't be bothered by anything other than the task at hand, there's a chance you'll be disappointed with its lack of difficulty and emphasis on collection and multiple solutions. Even if you are of the second group though, Stacking could very well win you over with its charming presentation.
-
Feb 9, 201180Stacking looks like a trifling little downloadable title, but the game has a surprising amount of heart.
-
Feb 9, 201180Stacking is right up there with the likes of Braid and Limbo as an absolute must-download.
-
Feb 28, 201160Charlie Blackmore's adventure is very beautiful and meticulously designed - with charming music and game mechanics that haven't been seen anywhere else. But creativity cannot alone earn a score, and Stacking lacks too much soul and is too careful when it comes to its humour.
-
Feb 14, 201150I feel the humor falls a little flat, and while I found plenty of stuff to laugh at with Costume Quest, the adventures of a little matryoshka doll named Charlie hasn't done much for me.
