Gameplay

In Hue, the player explores a grey land while searching for their missing mother. The player can uncover coloured pieces, which when matched against obstacles will cause them to disappear, revealing new puzzles.[9] As the player progresses and unlocks more colours, the game's difficulty increases with more colours being needed to complete puzzles. There are eight colours to find in this game, and in order, the player finds aqua, then purple, then orange, then pink, then blue, then red, then yellow, and then green. Also to mention, the credits are very, very long.

Reception

Hue received "generally favorable" reviews on Metacritic.[2][5][9]
