Pros
Pro Challenges promote creativity
Even though a level might present you with a linear progression of goals, there is no set way to accomplish each one. It’s up to the player to decide what they think the best course of action is. There are innumerable ways to beat each level and From Dust allows the player to figure out which one works for them.
Pro The controls are very simple
From Dust largely relies on two mechanics: picking up and dropping materials to change the landscape and sending your followers to specific locations on the map. There are additional abilities you can unlock depending on the level, but they are generally augments to these basic mechanics.
Cons
Con Gameplay can be repetitive
Despite the game presenting you with a variety of different obstacles, each one is overcome in the same basic way. You either send followers to obtain knowledge of a technique from a specific location or you pick up and drop stuff to change the landscape. How you do these things can be different depending on your exact needs, but it’s always the same basic game mechanics.
