81/100

Goritaire is a weird, wonderful, and slightly stressful card game. Arc System Works has a knack for taking simple concepts and giving them a bizarre, high-concept twist (much like they did with Shephy). The gameplay loop is tight: you want more gorillas, but more gorillas mean more mouths to feed.

The art style is delightfully weird, and the existential questions about where gorillas come from set a tone that is equal parts funny and unsettling. It’s a very difficult game to master, which makes the eventual victory of getting seven gorillas to the ground feel like a massive achievement. If you like 'weird' indie card games, this is an absolute gem.

Dinsun Review

I don't know why we need another Solitaire app. This one doesn't break anything, but it also doesn't fix anything that wasn't broken. The UI is clean, and it plays okay. If you don't already have five other versions of this on your phone, I suppose this one is as good as any. But let's be honest, we’ve been playing this since Windows 95.
