Compared to other titles that are more fast-paced and action-oriented, such asHollow KnightorOri and the Will of the Wisp, Webbed takes on amore casual approachto its gameplay. Players will utilize its funweb-swingingmechanic as they encounter various animals, both friendly and dangerous.

Your friendly forest spider

The mere mention of spiders is enough to give any arachnophobe shivers and cold sweats. These multieyed, long-legged crawlers never really had good standing with people to begin with. This is further supported by the fact that they are portrayed as such in various forms of media. Going against the established notion, Webbed is a charming spider adventure that just might make you smile instead.

In this game, you play as a cute and cuddly (who knew) arachnid living in the forest with your equally charming mate. One day, while merrily dancing away, a scary bowerbird swoops down and kidnaps your precious mister. You have to save him before it's too late., but you alone can't pull it off. So you recruit the help of other insects and bugs for a grand rescue effort.

Get around with your web swing, which is intuitive, flowing, and oh so satisfying. Solve platforming puzzles, take on odd jobs for your forest friends to gain their favor, or dance for, well, the sake of it. For all its charm and appeal, the experience is rather abrupt, taking you around four hours to finish. Some might find this too quick, while others will think it's appropriately short and sweet.

Just dance

Webbed is a fun and charming time from start to finish. It flips the notion that spiders can't be friendly and adorable with itscute and wholesomepresentation. The gameplay is simple, yet satisfying with its surprisingly polished web-swinging mechanic. Of course, don't forget about all the dancing you'll do, which is the perfect icing on the cake of a feel-good experience. A must-play.
