    Cute game but not worth the $15. The art style is charming at the start until your eyes are hurting from staring at a white screen for 2 hours. Hard to tell what was going on with the poorly optimized camera and blurry visuals. Story felt underdeveloped with no real stakes. Some parts were charming but not enough to leave a good taste in my mouth. Worth the journey with a friend on a strong sale.

    Blanc is a really enjoyable co-op game. With a great atmosphere and a really good soundtrack.

    On the whole, "Blanc" has become a good game. The plot with the two characters can please and the common approach is well done. Furthermore, a simple but pretty presentation is added. The sound can also convince well and sounds good. The two characters also have their own personal charm. However, the technology is not always good and also the camera work is just too annoying.

    A really cute co-op game that I really really liked! The visual style is some of the best in any game I've ever played, the music is amazing, and the story is incredibly emotional and heartwarming! I almost cried at points, it's genuinely really cool.
    Granted, the puzzles in this game aren't incredible. They're fine and fun enough for two people, but something like It Takes Two takes it's    A really cute co-op game that I really really liked!

    Granted, the puzzles in this game aren't incredible. They're fine and fun enough for two people, but something like It Takes Two takes it's co-op concepts a little further. And I think the reason why is because of the main issue I have with this game. It's incredibly short. It released today and I'm already 100%ed it after about 3 hours. Now, granted the experience with playing with a friend of mine over discord was super fun and nice, and I think the replayability of that aspect will definitely help the game going forward, but I definitely wanted more out of this game.
    But despite it's fault, this is probably the definition of a comfort game. It's cute, it's gorgeous, it's fun, and it's short enough to breeze through with a buddy in one sitting. I, ironically, just feel super warm when playing this game.    … Expand

    During a late cutscene, we detect a certain wistfulness in the eyes of both fawn and pup - as if both are silently wishing their talents had been employed in a better game. [Issue#383, p.122]

    Blanc is an indie adventure whose goal is not to amuse the player but to entertain based on cooperative gameplay that could be more purposeful but with a tremendous artistic section. Its moving story extols the cooperation between beings with little alike, making you laugh, cry and even scream at specific points, but it doesn't surpass other games with similar ideals.

    Blanc is a charming and extremely short adventure game that features challenging puzzles and a beautiful, minimalist art style that should occupy you and a friend for an hour or two.
