Those cute art styles are almost always a front for a brutal sneak attack on your emotions.
Blanc is very much aiming for your heartstrings with its adorable animal duo and picturesque snowy landscapes.
One of the cutest animal duos in gaming history is born.

There’s not a lot going on beneath the surface of Blanc.
I highly recommend playing the game as intended inco-opmode, becausewowdoes it get finicky using just the one controller.
I appreciate that single-player is an option, but this tale is best played with two.

At first, Blanc fulfils that cute animal fantasy to a tee.
The puzzles are golden, too.
There’s plenty of joy to be found outside of its main puzzles, too.

There’s also its disappointing second half, which feels rushed, to say the least.
The resolution to Blancs story also felt underwhelming.
Was there a level that took place underground as the two sheltered from the storm?

We’ll probably never know, but the jump felt jarring, to say the least.
I dont feel good giving Blanc a hard time like this.
The first half is genuinely brilliant.
