By Kalina MikovaLeila is an enchanting adventure that seamlessly combines a rich narrative, stunning visuals, and immersive gameplay. While it may not be suitable for younger audiences, older players will find themselves drawn into a world that feels like diving into a captivating novel—one that challenges the mind and resonates deeply, leaving a lasting sense of fulfilment.
Checkpoint Gaming
By David McNamaraA cosy, brief, beautifully crafted narrative experience, Leila tells its story in a uniquely interactive way. It leverages its gorgeous hand-drawn artwork in its environmental puzzles, which tend to satisfy despite some occasional frustrating pixel hunting. Its short length does mean that you're left with more of an aesthetic wash rather than an impactful narrative journey, but for the right player, Leila's bite-sized story will be just enough of a cosy treat to satisfy.

By Jeroen JanssenLeila is a title that does things a little differently and definitely impresses with its great main soundtrack (there are many soundtracks available) and almost sublime hand-drawn illustrations. The voice acting of the female main character is not overwhelming but is certainly passable. The puzzles are also mostly of a good level, where you don't have to think too much, but where your brain can certainly be put to the test. It is not made too difficult, so that you often make progress after a few minutes. However, the controls quickly cause a tiring left hand due to the constant dragging through the screen and the interaction with objects. If they had been able to improve and limit that in some way, this could have been a gem. However, Leila is definitely worth playing and is perhaps 'the game' that will be overlooked by many too quickly.
