Closing Comments
Noby Noby Boy is going to provoke arguments for months between people who claim to Get It and people who don't, which is ridiculous because - in truth - there is nothing to get. Once you've accepted that, Noby Noby Boy becomes one of the most soothing, effortlessly playable things you've ever likely had the pleasure to experience. It's a surreal and simple sandbox with no hidden subtleties or complex underlying system of progress and reward, no contrived meaning. It's appeal purely lies with its gentle, happy-go-lucky lunacy, and that's what makes it so bafflingly absorbing. For slightly over £3, it's something everyone should try, especially as its emergent nature means that it will keep stretching and stretching our imaginations well into the future. It's just the sort of mad experiment that the PSN Store was made for, in fact.

Rating Description
out of 10 click here for ratings guide
9.0 Presentation
Simple, self-contained and gently insane. It's full of beautiful touches and tiny secrets.
7.0 Graphics
It's the physics rather than the graphics that got the most attention during Noby Noby's development, but its style is thoroughly charming.
7.5 Sound
Lovely acoustic noodling is the perfect accompaniment to the gameplay.
9.0 Gameplay
Controls take a while to get the hang of and the physics throws things off occasionally, but Noby Noby is ultimately effortless fun and uniquely engaging.
8.5 Lasting Appeal
It's extraordinary value for money, and it may be months till we see what new planets have to offer. There's also plenty of room for expansion in the future.
9.0

I've been calling since a long that that Noby Noby was gonna be awesome and looks like I was right. Kudos to Takahashi for creating yet another quirky excellent title. That guy is a damn genius
