GNOG ($4.99) was released on the PlayStation earlier this year, and eventually made its way to Steam and (as of this morning) iOS. If this is the first you’ve heard of it, the easiest way to describe GNOG in the context of mobile gaming is it’s sort of similar to object-based puzzlers like The Room ($0.99) but instead of mysterious puzzle boxes you’re fiddling with different objects that make up an interconnected series of monster heads. It saw generally favorable reviews on Metacritic when it was first released for the PS4. Most of the knocks against the game seem to be that it’s difficulty is a little on the low side, but I’ve always looked at GNOG as a mix of light puzzle gameplay with an art and music “experience."
Take a look at the PlayStation launch trailer:
