Cogs – Cool, but terribly disappointing

Published January 29, 2010 | By Don Pedro

I think Cogs is a very stylish and clever game, but when I paid $0.99 for it, I didn’t think I would be done 20 minutes later. I breezed through the first 10 levels in mere minutes. The levels look great and were fun to play, but it very quickly became, "Is that it?" I don’t like the idea of having to pay yet more money to get more levels. I had my bit of fun and I’ll end it there. If what I downloaded was the demo and the full game was $1.99 or 2.99, I would be onboard. As it stands I feel like I paid for a demo game. I would hope the extra levels are more complicated and engaging, but someone else will have to tell me. I’m not saying the game isn’t worth the extra $0.99 per level, I’m just saying I’m not going to buy it.

Maybe if they make a full bundle and put it on sale they might capture my interest again.
