Review: ElecHead

Simply put ElecHead is one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had. I know that is a bold statement! It’s right up my alley, so it already had that going for it before I even downloaded it! Very little narrative (it’s almost non-existent), with great mechanics and, most importantly, bite sized puzzles that need to be overcome. No map, very little hints, so it’s down to you and your ability to use the the relatively basic mechanics. At least, they seem easy….

A colorful graphic featuring a cartoon character with a lightning bolt symbol on its head, surrounded by bright lightning graphics and the title 'ELEC HEAD' in bold letters.

ElecHead is similar to BoxBoy and other amazingly frustrating titles. Takahashi-san is a game designer that you are definitely going to be cursing a lot for many hours and hopefully many years to come!

Completed in just under 3 and half hours ElecHead is a game that is definitely worth spending an afternoon/evening on and will definitely leave you wanting more. Thankfully Nama Takahashi (https://namatakahashi.itch.io) has some other amazing games including Öoo, which I also completed recently.

Score: 5/5

ElecHead is available on Steam and Itch.io. Go Play!
