Is it still worth playing?

A side scrolling puzzle platform game developed by Fiddlesticks and published by Curve Digital, released in August 2016 for Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and later for other systems. Hue searches a greyscale world for his mother, who turned an impossible colour when the Annular Spectrum she built to alter colour fractured. He can walk, jump, climb ladders and push or pull objects, and some rooms need a key to open the next one. You collect eight shards of different colors, and picking one from a colour wheel changes the background, so anything of the same color, such as walls, boxes and lasers, fades away until you change it again. Later puzzles add moving lasers, falling spiked skulls and paint spigots that recolor objects, and your mother's letters narrate the way. A single idea, a color that makes objects vanish, still drives every room.
