Steam's global achievement data puts 70 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. Of the 632 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 9 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,656 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 1,070 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 96 percent of the 8,528 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 45 percent of everything written about it.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 1.8 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say
It's sort of like a picture book, but they jumbled it all up. It's clever, visually striking and doesn't take long to complete.
Gorogoa is one of those games that seems simple at first glance, but leaves you with much more to think about after you finish it. The story follows a boy who, as a child, sees a creature he comes to regard as a God. Fascinated by what he witnessed, he spends his entire life trying to understand what he saw and, somehow, find it again. For years, he offers everything he has in search of an answer, but never receives...
It's okay, I guess. Very 5/10. I mean it is a kinda fun little puzzle game that could have been done in a browser. Apparently there was a story, but it was completely lost on me and honestly I don't even care. ... Uh.... yeah. That is about all there is to say on the matter.
