Hob comes from Runic Games, the studio known for Torchlight, and is a quiet action-adventure. You play a small hero in a red cloak who receives a powerful mechanical arm and sets out to heal a broken, mysterious world. Exploring reveals huge machines and hidden mechanisms, and using them reshapes the land itself, opening new paths. There is no dialogue; the story is told through the environment.
It is single-player, viewed from an isometric camera, and mixes exploration, platforming, puzzles and some combat. The pace is unhurried and rewards curiosity. Hob suits players who enjoy games in the style of classic Zelda titles and like piecing together a world without being told where to go next.
