can't even walk
the character does a type of "stutter" walk
can't disable vibrations either (the setting is there but it doesn't save), other comments say this issue's been there for over a year
might work fine on keyboard, but i doubt it

Beautiful visual graphics, puzzle games that are not difficult, and games that are good to play step by step.
However, unfriendly guidelines that are somewhat disappointing will remain a disadvantage.

The puzzles aren't too difficult most of the time. It can get frustrating at times. The graphics are decent and pleasant. The sale price is great too.

Hob is a great adventure game. There is a lot to explore and lots of puzzles to solve, inside an always changing world. There are 2 different endings to unlock. The game is not very difficult, so it's a nice casual, relaxing experience. I've already bought it on my Playstation when it came out, but I liked it so much, that I wanted to add it to my Steam library as well. And with the price on Fanatical, this game is always a steal.
