‘Hue’

Hue, which was developed by Fiddle Sticks and published by Curve Digital, is a beautifully-designed puzzle adventure where you alter the world by changing background colours.

Look, I know it sounds a little strange, for lack of a better word, but the Hue was surprisingly entertaining. It’s vibrant, beautiful and just a tiny bit addictive. Just a tiny bit. According to the developers:

“You explore a dangerous grey land, unearthing coloured fragments on a journey to find your missing mother. As obstacles match the background, they disappear, creating new and exciting puzzles – full of peril, mystery… and colours unseen.”

The game also includes full colourblind support by using symbols as a colour aid. In addition, there are more than 30 original music tracks featured in the game; all were composed exclusively for Hue.

Furthermore, Hue is professionally narrated by Anna Acton and Matthew Wade, some of the UK’s best television talent. And if you’re using Razer Chroma, Corsair RGB or any other coloured-LED device, you’re in for a treat.

But don’t take my word for it. Metro described it as “one of the most original and engrossing platform puzzlers of recent years”, while a review on Forbes succinctly summed it up:

“Overall, the game is amazing. Beautiful and brilliant, sophisticated and simple, challenging and compelling.”

Hue is hands-down one of the best additions to the genre in a very long time. Get it here.
