Hirogami Review Roundup: Dazzling Origami Aesthetic Meets Uneven Platforming

Early critiques point to memorable visuals alongside camera, combat frustrations.

Overview

  • Reviews published today describe a visually striking papercraft world and inventive folding transformations for the origami hero, Hiro.
  • Critics frequently report fixed-camera angles, imprecise platforming and clumsy combat that undermine otherwise clever traversal ideas.
  • Progression ties to collectible Golden Crane Souls prompts late-game revisits to earlier stages to meet optional objectives and unlock new levels.
  • Playtime estimates range from roughly six to eight hours for a straightforward run, with optional challenges extending completion time.
  • Release timing differs by outlet, with Polygon and Forbes citing September 3 for PlayStation 5 and PC and Checkpoint listing September 4; the game is developed by Bandai Namco Studios Singapore and Malaysia and published by Kakehashi Games.
