Wilmot Works It Out review - light, jigsaw goodness
Wilmot's gentle and relaxing jigsaw puzzles won't tax you in the slightest, but this warm bubble bath of a game is very soothing.
Wilmot's gentle and relaxing jigsaw puzzles won't tax you in the slightest, but this warm bubble bath of a game is very soothing, and it weaves a surprising tale of companionship and found friends around the edges. Instead of using his right-angled good looks to sort and shuffle abstract materials onto conveyor belts, he now uses those same muscular shoulder button squeezes to carry and rotate square picture pieces and - once they flash and emit a soft chirrup indicating what you're holding is a match to the one you've sidled up next to - click them together to make colourful works of art to hang around his home. I really do admire Sam's tenacity on this front, because bless her, she's secretly the heart and soul this gentle little puzzle game, providing a much-needed human touch to Wilmot's otherwise quite abstract picture building, and rooting each delivery in the warm, friendly embrace of having a hobby you can (sort of) share with other people.
