Woodo Sources: Official Facts, Reviews and Community Guides

How to read this source list

Official pages establish release, platform, store, and gameplay-definition facts. Independent reviews describe a particular person’s playthrough and opinion. Community guides are useful leads for controls and puzzle structure, but exact answers should be checked in the released game. Reddit comments are individual feedback, not product-wide evidence.

Disputed or unresolved points

• Completion time ranges from 3–4 hours to 5–6 hours because reviewers played at different speeds and completion goals.
• Scores range from 7/10 and 80% to 9.5/10 and 4.5/5; the common thread is positive presentation, not identical value judgments.
• PS5, Xbox, Switch, and Switch 2 control comfort cannot be ranked from the available evidence.
• Exact chapter count, object locations, hidden objects, and achievement routes still need scene-by-scene testing.
• No source used here supports describing Woodo as a first-person horror puzzle.
• EndeNews’ 6.2/10 adds a more critical formal review; it should be shown beside, not averaged into, the 7/10, 80%, 9/10, 4.5/5, and 9.5/10 opinions.
• Bleeding Cool’s July report still contained a pre-release “no release date” statement; that outdated statement must not override the official 2026-09-16 release date.
• The full community walkthrough contains precise object counts, angles, chapter times, and achievement claims; these remain unverified and stay out of published answer content.
