Pode

 Rating: 8/10

All ages - no violence, just puzzle solving and really pretty graphics

Pode is a sweet story of friendship and working together. It's a puzzle-solving game where the little round light guy and the square rock guy have to solve puzzles to reach the surface so the light guy can go home again. The graphics are gorgeous. The game play is mostly intuitive. I did get stumped for a while with one of the powers for the rock guy.

There is no text, just pretty pictures and cool animations. Only a few of the puzzles require accuracy. It can get frustrating at times, though. You can play either by yourself or with a friend. Some puzzles are easier to solve one-player, others are easier with two-player mode. But none of them are super hard.

Overall, I really enjoyed this game. I'll probably play through it again sometime.
