(And if you find yourself getting stuck, there is a hint system in place that’ll only kick in when you’re taking too long on a puzzle. And even when you do have the camera in hand, there might be an artificial limit on how many images it can take, to throw a spanner into the works whenever things start feeling a bit too easy. Sometimes you won’t even have that trusty camera handy and will be forced to use the ready-made images scattered around the level. Other times, however, there might not even be a teleporter, instead asking the player to line up certain perspectives to unlock new pathways. Say a teleporter needs two, three or sometimes even four batteries before it’ll put out enough power, just snap a picture and whaddya know – now you have two. Occasionally it’ll throw in the added incentive of powering up those teleporters with batteries, though it doesn’t always give you the right tools for the job. Somewhere along Viewfinder’s nearly six-hour roving experience, though, it begins to subtly change the rules. Other times, it’s about as difficult as restructuring the laws of physics. Sometimes, reaching a teleporter is as simple as snapping a picture of a bridge, and placing it within base reality to cross a gap. When you get there, it’ll send you off to a fresh new world begging to be explored. You’ll be doing all that with the aim of reaching each level’s end goal, usually in the form of a teleporter. It allows the player to take two-dimensional images of the game’s floating-island puzzles and bring them forth into the third dimension, free to walk on, in and behind if you so wish.

Viewfinder’s most interesting aspect is the one and only tool it gives you – the camera’s viewfinder. The puzzle-platforming adventure title Limbo brings a darker aspect to this month’s Game Pass offering, by asking the player to take control of a young boy as he travels through a bizarre and often dangerous world, as he attempts to unravel the fate of his sister. In IGN’s 7/10 early access review we said that Everspace 2 “feels like the start of a great single-player action-RPG, with more gameplay variety than you usually see in a space fighter game”.
