I completed Hook within my first hour of gameplay (maybe less, if I timed it properly; I had a short break during that hour to make myself a cup of tea), so, it's not a very long game; It's also very simplistic in nature and I found it very easy to play, but, the ideas behind this game nonetheless felt very original and fresh, the game nonetheless required some level of thought, was engaging, and importantly, I found the game very enjoyable to play.

As a puzzle game, I felt that Hook was quite successful in its delivery: Interestingly, although the way that its puzzles were presented wasn't something I'd ever seen before, without requiring any instruction, I felt it to be extremely intuitive and easy to understand; The game presented zero frustrations for me and most of its puzzles lasted no more than a minute, but, the puzzles were still very engaging, interesting, and I wasn't bored by them.

Although simplistic, the game nonetheless felt very polished: Clean and without redundant elements, but, I didn't feel like there was anything I'd want to add to the game.

The background music is very pleasant and relaxing, and creates an ideal atmosphere for the game.

Perhaps, if the game was more expensive, I wouldn't recommend it, because I wouldn't want to spend too much money on something that I'd finish within an hour, but at $0.99c, this game is definitely worthwhile.

Comparatively, many of us will spend more than 5x that much on an average cup of coffee and it'll be gone within less than that amount of time; Spend $0.99c on this game, you'll have a copy of this game for the entire life of your steam account, and even if you only play it once, you're not any worse off than you'd be if you'd spent a dollar at your local gaming arcade.

In summary: Short and sweet, but super cheap, good fun, polished and worthwhile.
