SCHiM is a relaxing and artistic little game. With a clever take on platform puzzles, a cute little shadow frog, and a surprisingly heartwrenching story, this charming title is sure to find a cozy spot in the pond you call your Steam library.
SCHiM is worth jumping at. It's approachable for most players and unearths a deeper story about life's unexpected lows and highs.
SCHiM is a narrative experience with a truly peculiar graphical style, which tries to bring platforming mechanics and puzzle elements to the table to deliver a gameplay that flows nicely but doesn't leave its mark due to its excessive simplicity and linearity.
Schim is a brilliant idea in a special work of art with a unique, typically Dutch style. As a game, it is unfortunately too repetitive in terms of gameplay and environments to last long.
Schim has a fantastic concept that immediately appeals to your inner child, and wraps it in a beautiful, clearly Dutch world with a wonderfully simplistic art style. It just doesn't surprise at all as a game, and after an hour it starts to feel like a repetitive exercise.
For a game I was so quickly sold on by its trailers, I came away disappointed by Schim. It very rarely showed glimpses of the great game it could’ve been, but never committed to that level of fun puzzling gameplay. Instead, I was left bored as I hopped around the shadows. While the story and overall aesthetic are fun at first, they can’t carry the entire experience when the gameplay has very little of substance to offer.
In isolation, it's a little thin. [Issue#400, p.122]
