Finis for Xbox One

The good stuff

Man, the worlds in this thing are not just pretty-they *mean* something. Like, I played through a universe where everything was crumbling into dust, and the silence between each step made me hold my breath. Another had a warzone vibe, but instead of explosions, it was all static and flickering lights. It felt like walking through a broken memory. And the puzzles? They don’t just test logic-they reflect the mood of the world. One level had you reassembling a shattered city skyline to unlock a door. It wasn’t about brute force, it was about understanding the story behind the pieces. That kind of design is rare.

Also, the fact that there are 8 different paths and multiple endings? Yeah, that’s not common in indie puzzle games. I replayed it once just to see how things changed when I took a different route. The choices matter, even if they’re subtle. It feels less like “game over” and more like “what if?”

The not-so-good

It’s not long-probably 3 to 4 hours max. I got the full experience in one sitting. Not a bad thing, per se, but if you’re expecting a meaty campaign, you’ll be disappointed. Also, no save points mid-level. If you mess up, you gotta restart from the last checkpoint. That can get frustrating during the harder puzzles, especially when you’re trying to figure out the rhythm of a world.

And yeah, the lack of developer info still bugs me. No backstory, no social media, nothing. Feels like a ghost project. But honestly, that kind of mystery fits the game’s vibe. Still, if you’re someone who needs context or credits, this might feel off-putting.

Bottom line

If you’re into atmospheric puzzle games on Xbox One and want something that feels personal, introspective, and not just another grind, give Finis a shot. It’s short, yes, but every minute counts. Download it free-it’s worth the time. This isn’t the next big thing, but it’s one of those hidden gems that sticks with you. For fans of titles like Limbo or Inside, this is right up your alley. Don’t sleep on it.
