Checkpoint GamingDavid McNamaraApr 20257/10A 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.
