There's a plenty of good in this game, but also quite a bit of bad. Unfortunately, as a completely linear adventure game, the overall enjoyment is easily ruined by repeatedly hitting dead ends. And Corrosion certainly tries to trip you up in a variety of ways! You'll need to pixel-hunt, need to keep trying different variations on the same solution, need to keep re-checking the environment for changes, try to combine every inventory item with every other inventory item, etc. And to top it all off, when you finally feel like you're getting the hang of it, the puzzles stop and the game switches to story exposition mode, bombarding you with 10s of pages of diaries in various hard-to-read handwriting fonts.

It's frustrating because there were plenty of good parts - the storytelling was great until near the end and most of the puzzles were pretty fun - but after the leap of logic needed to solve one of the first few puzzles I just didn't have confidence this game was playing by reasonable rules and I kept the walkthrough open.
