Klaus follows an office worker who wakes up in a basement with no idea of who or where he is. With his only clue being the word "Klaus" tattooed on his arm, he's forced to escape the mechanical and constructivist world in which he finds himself a prisoner.

TwinfiniteChaz MillerFeb 20164.5/5Klaus is, in a word, brilliant. While it may not exactly win the hearts of those who don't like the 2D platformer style, it's an expertly-designed addition to the genre that creates a challenging experience without ever seeming insurmountable.

We Got This CoveredTyler TreeseJan 20164.5/5 starsKLAUS is an impressive puzzle platformer that constantly defies the player's expectations. Building up mechanics only to break them, La Cosa Entertainment has crafted one of the most interesting platformers in quite some time.

PlayStation LifeStyleJowi MeliJan 20168.5/10Klaus is a subversive, ingenious little puzzle platformer that shouldn't be missed by anyone who claims to be a fan of video games. The nods to common tropes in the medium serve as both a bit of cerebral humor and as the basis for some truly inspired bits of level design, and the presentation blends excellent sprite work with flashy film-inspired animation. Minor annoyances, like the touchpad feeling a bit cumbersome and some irritating audio design, shouldn't keep players away from this masterful little piece of gaming love.

Push SquareJames WallaceFeb 20166/10Klaus is a good game that takes too long to become so. The commentary baked into its narrative bleeds into the gameplay resulting in mechanics that are not provided enough nourishment to grow and an exposition that will lose many due to its over-commitment to delivering a message. The initial impression leaves a bad taste, and in a world where first impressions matter, this is difficult to overlook.
