This game is SO GOOD. It's so refreshing to play a game that has an interesting and unique idea and then executes on it perfectly! Everything in this game is done incredibly well. It's a brilliant experience. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND playing Webbed if it even slightly appeals to you.

If you don't like spiders, play it with the arachnophobia setting on.

The audiovisual elements are wonderful. The visuals are gorgeous, and the animations all interact with the world excellently (very important when you're crawling over objects). The soundtrack isn't expansive but it is a great vibe, gives each region a special feel, and it varies the instruments in the tune as you explore different areas within a region so it doesn't get too samey.

The gameplay is super fun. Figuring out how to solve puzzles efficiently is satisfying. Getting big fast web swings just right and whizzing around the scenery feels incredible. The controls (playing on controller) are executed well, and I especially appreciate the "precision mode" aiming (toggles the right stick from aiming a direction to moving a cursor to aim at - great for the puzzles). The challenge level feels just right - the levels can be quite deadly, but are mostly very forgiving with checkpoints, and while high-skill players can speed through things, casual players can slowly build webs to bridge their way through (which persist forever - saves on tedium re-traversing areas you've been through already).

The story is simple but sweet and enough to drive the game. It's not a large game, but the pacing of the story and the puzzles all feels about right. I don't think the game would be better if it was just bigger and longer. I do appreciate that they made exactly this game perfectly, rather than compromising on some things to add "more features" as is the trend these days.

But also I would 100% buy an expansion or level pack that brought some new mechanics. A level editor and Steam Workshop support would be killer and give this game some replay value. I would love to play more Webbed, but as it is, re-solving the same puzzles isn't all that exciting.
