Kafka's Metamorphosis makes a great whimsical platformer (Rock, Paper, Shotgun)

Metamorphosis is a joy to play. It’s oddly cheerful, with an upbeat, if faintly cursed sountrack reminiscent of a less insufferable Danny Elfman. The obviously evil secret police types at the start, and humans in general, are a little too cartoonish to be threatening, but the menace comes from the situation they represent than the men themselves. Gregor’s warping voice quickly moves from horrific to an inoffensive insectoid gargle, and his rapid acceptance of the situation partly echoes his hopeless meekness from the book, but here serves more to simply bypass the prolonged scenes of shock and disbelief that, in a game, simply aren’t necessary, because we’ve already accepted his fate by the time we’ve got to the start menu.

Metamorphosis is an entertaining experience. It controls well, looks great, and has a story that’ll hold your attention. However, the plot that doesn’t really go anywhere and the overall lazy conclusion dulls the experience. Plus, it’s extremely short. It’s easy to complete the game in two-and-a-half hours or so, of which I couldn’t help but be disappointed. I think the game is worth a look due to the zany world and dreamlike visuals, but don’t expect it to keep you busy for long.
