The quirky new puzzler Carto is going to send you on a charming journey that’s aiming to be different from anything else on Xbox One, Game Pass, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC. So, let’s get to it and find Granny using our cartography skills!
Young Carto is the titular centrepiece of this adventure after she becomes separated from her Granny during a horrible storm. In order to reunite the two, you must make the most of Carto’s natural talent when it comes to the art of cartography. This puzzle mechanic enables you to map and manipulate the world around Carto to accomplish her quest. Through the discovery of new map pieces, the levels can be reshaped to unlock further puzzles, new paths and more narrative.
You’ll find that Carto is a rather chilled out affair while traversing the mysterious, yet peaceful, lands which have been wonderfully hand-crafted – with each offering a unique biome to explore. There’s also a quirky cast of characters present to help you on the journey and enlighten you in regards to different cultures.
Features include:
- – Employ a unique puzzle and exploration mechanic: rearrange pieces of your map, and watch the world change around you!
- – Chill out and explore peaceful-yet-mysterious lands across a 5-7 hour story
- – Meet a colorful cast of characters and learn about their unique cultures
- – Bask in lush, hand-drawn visuals across a variety of biomes
- – Experience a beautiful soundtrack with over 40 original tracks to accompany you on your adventure
All in all, Carto is looking to deliver a 5-7 hour long tale with puzzling elements for a fee of £16.74, which seems fairly reasonable. So, if you’ve been charmed into buying it by the relaxing nature and lush visuals, simply plot a course for the Xbox Store. Should another platform be your preferred choice, Carto can be located on the PS Store, Nintendo eShop and Steam. The world is your oyster… you just need to map it out.
