    Good puzzle game for a busy weekend

    By enzo2606 | Review Date: Dec 31, 2013 | PS4

    I played this game for two reason: 1) It was given for free by PSN as a consequence of buying PS4 and 2) it is short enough to give a try a game I haven't heard about. It gives me a good impression, It is game with a sto... Read Full Review

    A Fun Mystery Themed Platformer, With Some Quirky Elements In It's Gameplay

    By Jock9 | Review Date: Dec 31, 2013 | PS3

    Contrast is one of only two downloadable titles on the new PS4's PSN, and because of this there is no other titles to compare it's quality to. Contrast is quite a short, yet sweet title for new owners of the PS4 to play,... Read Full Review

    Falls Short

    Contrast unique gameplay and atmosphere are hampered by the game shortness and technical glitches.

    By Sokol4ever | Review Date: Nov 25, 2013 | PS4

    Contrast is a game that is as unique as they get with Indie development in mind. It offers a sad and mature story of a very young girl who is desperately clinging to the memory of her parents which appear to have passed... Read Full Review

    WOW.. Very Pretty game and very fun to play!

    By scurran007 | Review Date: Nov 16, 2013 | PS3

    Mediocre 5 review from Gamespot is way off base! Its a great puzzle game and fun to play. Maybe they gave it a 5 because there is no shooting or heads being blown off.. But it is more cerebral, and that takes a little mo... Read Full Review
