• Effortlessly stylish (as usual for Blendo Games)
  
• Hacking is fun, dynamic, and active, surprisingly so
  
• Many little details that really help flesh out the world
  
• Cool new gadgets and mechanics make heists incredibly interesting
  
• Open source!

• WAY TOO BRIEF: There's not enough time spent fleshing out the world and characters. I wanted more of an experience like Gravity Bone and Thirty Flights of Loving, games that really immerse you in their worlds and spend time showing you what it's like to exist in Nuevos Aires. In contrast, Quadrilateral Cowboy does not spend ANY time with its two other main characters & does not let you immerse in the world.
  
  • While the game does give you snapshots of the characters' lives through pictures in their homes, their strong friendship depicted ultimately falls flat when the actual game does nothing to support it. There is zero dialogue between any characters, which some reviews view favorably, but ultimately the lack of dialogue feels like it was not included just to not include it.
    
  • As for the world, I was really hoping for sections where I spend some time just walking and taking in the environment. Instead, most of the time outside of missions is spent in tiny rooms or areas that give you glimpses of the greater world, but it's not enough to feel like a true picture of it.
• The mechanics of QC are given their time to shine, but we really could've used some more puzzles near the end to fully test mastery of the gadgets and systems the game has to offer.
  
• Casing mechanic features minor bugs and some odd choices (you can die while casing)

Quadrilateral Cowboy is a fun, stylish puzzler that gives a decent challenge while constantly introducing new dynamic mechanics and interesting missions. This is undercut by its extreme briefness, leaving you wishing there was more of everything QC has to offer. Buy it on sale.
