The Bridge

The Bridge focuses heavily on puzzle gameplay, but there is a story lurking beneath the surface. The game begins with our male protagonist sleeping underneath a tree. An apple falls on his head, à la Sir Isaac Newton, and wakes the man from his nap, thus beginning his journey through many levels of hand-drawn, M.C. Escher-like puzzles. Along the way, players can uncover post-it notes that shed light on the broader story and help to explain the slight air of mystery surrounding the bridge.

The controls are simple and easy to learn, and the puzzles aren't considered to be frustratingly challenging. The game offers a quick tutorial, and will suggest more tips if the player seems to be struggling.

• What do you think of the challenge level of the puzzles? Are they too difficult or too easy?
• Do you try to gather all the hidden collectibles? Why? Is it fun to complete every aspect of a game, or does it feel more like a compulsion?
