Excellent game! You can complete it under 5 hours, but take your time, you won't regret it. Cute creature design, just enough fighting to be challenging without being irritating. I love the world, even if I would have taken some narration to get a better idea of the story.

Playing Hob was an absolute delight! I checked the game out on a stream on twitch for 1 hour and decided to feature a full playthrough! The exploration, combat, platforming and puzzles are fitting together so nicely while the challenge level never rises too high and the rewarding upgrades are coming in at a good pace. It is rare that games manage to come across this smooth and enjoyable! I highly recommend it to fans of interesting settings that require a bit of exploration and skill / patience!
