What Hue is
Hue is an adventure game developed by Fiddlesticks and released in 2016. It was published by Curve Digital. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.
The premise, in the publisher's words
In Hue you explore a dangerous grey land, unearthing colored fragments on a journey to find your missing mother. As obstacles match the background, they disappear, creating new and exciting puzzles - full of peril, mystery… and colors unseen.
How it plays
It is played from a side view perspective. Its themes are action and fantasy. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 13 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
Hue holds a critic score of 78 out of 100. That places it above 59% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2016 averaged 68, so it scored 10 points above the year average. Player ratings track closely with critics at 74, across 117 votes.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 6 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 8 hrs, roughly 1.3 times the length of the critical path. At its current cheapest price of $2.31, that works out to about $0.39 per hour of the main story, or $0.29 per hour if you finish everything.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core2 Duo E4300 (2 * 1800) or equivalent | AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ (2 * 2600) or equivalent, 2048 MB RAM and GeForce GT 610 (1024 MB) or equivalent | Radeon HD 6450 (512 MB) or equivalent. At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.

What it launched against
Hue launched on 30 August 2016, within three weeks of No Man's Sky, Persona 5, The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt - Complete Edition and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. It reviewed better than 1 of the 4. It arrived 3 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: No Man's Sky, Persona 5, The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt - Complete Edition, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
