An arcade adventure game developed by Runic Games, an American studio behind the Torchlight series. In Hob, we assume the role of a hero who wakes up in a beautiful but dangerous world on the verge of annihilation.

Hob is an arcade adventure game for PC and PS4 developed by Runic Games. The studio is known primarily for the critically acclaimed Torchlight hack ‘n’ slash game series.
In the game, we assume the role of a hero who wakes up in a beautiful but dangerous world, which stands on the verge of annihilation. The protagonist does not how he came to be in that place and will learn the answers for his questions only as the story will unfold. What’s interesting, the production does not feature any text or dialogues which gives the players’ imagination a lot of room to do its magic.
The gameplay takes place in an open world that can be freely traversed. At the same time, the mechanics somewhat resemble solutions from typical platformer games. The core of the gameplay is exploration and interaction with the encountered lifeforms and the planet itself. There is no shortage of traps that wait for the protagonist as well as quite numerous logic puzzles to solve. The key to success in the game is to discover how to survive in an alien and hostile environment that constantly changes. The items we find and the protagonist’s skills we discover will prove useful and let us access previously inaccessible places as well as to take control over nature to shape it to our liking.
Hob for PC and PS4 is characterized by original and slightly artistic graphics, partially done in the cel-shading technique that simultaneously amazes with the beauty of the game world and intimidates with the amount of the danger that await the hero.

Game Ratings for Hob Video Game.
MMORPG.com: 8.5 / 10 by Robin Baird
Overall Hob is a fantastic game and just be on a play list for anyone who enjoys puzzle platformers and wouldn't mind some light RPG elements thrown in. The story is told organically and beautifully through gameplay and has some of the best sound design I've seen in a game.
Attack of the Fanboy: 3.5 / 5 by Kyle Hanson
Hob is a game that feels like it could be much more than it is. It's a game that draws inspiration from the best in the business. It's a game that looks and sounds great. And it's a game that offers something unique for players. Yet it falls short of the heights that it could have reached due to a few key failings.
ACG: by Jeremy Penter
"A unique exploration title and while not perfect, the worldview and the mystery it provides was more than enough to keep me interested.
