Probably the most lush and beautiful pixel art to date. Which makes it all the more frustrating that you just run by everything 90% of the time, because the gameplay loop is boring as hell and the story uninspired, quasi-philosophical, copy & paste-dystopianism. If i were a graphic artist or level designer here, i'd feel pretty ripped off. TLDNR: has its moments and is fucking gorgeous, but ultimately it's a waste of porential.

The game starts with a deliberate slowness that it never really earns. The story is pretty generic. The setting is basic. The gameplay is barely there. Hold D for 90% of the game. Looks kinda pretty though, I guess.

Like most reviews that aren't absolutely gushing over this have said, the presentation here is awesome but the gameplay is decent. Great art design leads to great visuals and a good soundtrack over it all. Truly a joy to look at and hear. No problems there. The gameplay is a lot of basic platforming/puzzles and pushing right a lot. It does open up in places, to be fair, but meh. And the combat is also okay but not even close to being as inspired as the presentation. Good but not great game.
