Relaxing for the most part, some solutions may require a guide.

Superb sound design.

I found a lot of the later levels to be unclear as far as the intended sort order or objective.

To quote another reviewer who put it better than I could:

"The game started out strong and I felt satisfied after finishing each level. That wore out too quickly and I felt frustration for the rest of the game. The biggest drawback is the lack of visible anchor points. The game wants the player to pick up items and put them in exact spots to trigger level completion, but the player cannot see those anchor points."

This is genuinely one of the best games I've ever played. It's deceptively simple, but as you get into it, challenging enough to hold onto your attention and keep you coming back. The art style is very easy on the eyes, and I really appreciate that there aren't bright clashing colors and that the transitions are nice and smooth. When I've got a headache, this game is still very accessible to me.

I love the way hints are handled. You can clear as much or as little of a hint as you need, and they feel more like nudges in the right direction than an obvious "this is how you solve this puzzle." I also really appreciate the ability to just let a level go if you think you've solved it the way you want, but it's not the way it was intended.

The calm pace of the game and the level of focus required makes this game great for emotional regulation. I've used it myself when working through a panic attack, and I've had a kid I babysit play it to help them ground themself.

My favorite levels are the big organization ones. Putting everything into its place in drawers or carefully hanging tools up on a wall. The more pieces and the less guidance, the more fun it is for me. The DLCs added even more of these levels! I'd love to see even more in the future. Always hoping for more DLC to this game I've played over and over again.

There are a few cons to this game, though I feel they're massively outweighed by all the positives:
- For an organizational game, it can be annoying when you get everything into place and the level ends, but cupboard doors are still open. It's such a small thing, but I'd love to have the ability to close everything before moving onto the next level. As it is, the solution most of the time is to remember which order things have to be put away in, in order to make sure things behind closed doors can be put away first.

- One of my friends has complained that they feel like some of the levels have you saving things that should just be trash, and she would have liked the ability to throw things away. I can see where this is coming from, but I feel that some of those odd, out of place saved objects are humorous rather than annoying. I do think it's worth noting here since it's a complaint about the game that I've heard.

- While most things will click into place when you put them close enough to where they properly go, there are a few levels where the margin of error is so small it can be hard to get things to stay where you're trying to put them. On the other hand, there are one or two levels where this problem goes in the other direction and i've accidentally solved some of it by just trying to clear the space I was working with.

All in all, I highly recommend this game. There may be one or two imperfect points, but this is a game I keep coming back to. It's comforting, relaxing, and truly cozy.

A great game to spend your free time in a chill way. The art-style is nice, calm colours are easy on the eyes, so even after a hard day you'll be able to enjoy the game. A Little to the Left offers multiple solution levels and an option to skip some levels which really helps out at points. The puzzles are fun to complete, but some of them are slightly bugged. Items need to 'click' in their spots so sometimes you might find yourself stuck on a level just because the spoon was off it's designated location by half a pixel. The game also offers daily tasks. Even though the daily tasks are random I found myself bored of them after 10 or so days because they start repeating themselves, so getting the 100 day achievement took longer than it should've. If achievements aren't important to you I'd say that the Seeing Stars DLC is not worth to get, the puzzles are not as good as the other ones. Overall, A Little to the Left is a cozy and relaxing game, a little overpriced, but definitely worth it with a discount. 8.5/10 (0.5 for the cute cat).

a little to the left is a satisfying puzzle game with fun, creative ways to tidy up but the daily tidy is a drag. doing it for consecutive days gets boring and since it's required for 100% achievements, it ends up feeling more like a chore especially when the puzzles are underwhelming. great game, just wish the daily part wasn’t such a hassle.

★★☆☆☆

I'm just disappointed by how frustrating some of the levels are. It starts off really fun and satisfying, but the later puzzles are annoyingly confusing and even the hints are barely useful. The daily tidy mode is okay, I didn't want to play the other modes or DLCs. It's a hassle to complete all the achievements too.

This is not a cozy, relaxing cleaning game, at least towards the end of the campaign, it's just a bad puzzle game.

.

it was good, I did enjoy it wish there was more :/
there was also one level that was lagged for me and couldn't finish it
