good inside/limbo/somerville style of game. Wasn't as engaged playing this one a decent 3/5 game

Gorgeous visuals. I wish more pixel-art style games would use this kind of visual as it makes the world feel enjoyable to explore. The opening sequences are very well done. This is a great Steam Deck + Xbox Cloud gaming experience.

However, I can already tell I am going to bounce off at some point in the near future as the controls feel a bit sluggish by design; you are controlling a young boy that struggles to climb around. But this doesn’t make it the gameplay feel good and a couple early sequences require some tight timing such that I have to make sure to anticipate the delays between a button press and my moves. It isn’t the streaming because I have played Vampire Survivors on this setup and had no problems before.

Superbe jeu à la Limbo, mais en bien moins sombre, décors somptueux, effets de caméra donnant de l'espace ou de la grandeur, un jeu très cinématique avec quelques énigmes pas trop compliquées, et une durée de vie suffisante (5h environ)

Meh. This has been done much better with Inside and Limbo. A pretty game, but everything about it was rather dull.

Arrived in the desert and the sound track goes full-on Lawrence of Arabia for absolutely no logical narrative reason 🤦🏽

Not as thrilled with this as I thought I would be.

Not as thrilled with this as I thought I would be. The game landscapes are very pretty but two things are really pulling me out of this game: 1) very stiff platforming with slow, laborious movements, lacking the fluidity of something like a Playdead game, which I presume is the studio that most influenced Wishfully when developing Planet of Lana, and 2) the type of hollowed out, genericized representation of indigeneity that western studios (composed of what appear to be largely, if not all, white devs) like to use for thematic purposes, in this case to juxtapose the "primitive" against a technological threat. It feels careless and lacking critical reflection.

Really enjoyed the game as a whole. Reminded me of stuff I’ve loved like Inside/Limbo, Oxenfree and Ori. The first two far more than the later.

The game is beautiful. From the start with the ocean to the mountains and the sky falling…. To the contrasting colors later on. I loved the art design. Even the creatures are pretty fun …

The game is beautiful. From the start with the ocean to the mountains and the sky falling…. To the contrasting colors later on. I loved the art design. Even the creatures are pretty fun even with that slight limited detailing.

Music is fantastic I could see myself putting this on at work.

Gameplay was a fun puzzle platforming game. I went in not knowing anything so I was surprised at some of the upgrades/skill stuff that you get. It’s nothing as deep as Ori but it still keeps you on your feet in a sense.

Wasn’t overly hard at all, quick and peaceful adventure that took me under 7 hours to complete.

This is out today? I was just going to let Game Pass lapse because there's was nothing sparking my interest, but I think this is supposed to hit Game Pass. MS needs to go a better job populating the "coming soon" section of Game Pass. Maybe this means I should resub? Although, maybe my monthly sub is better spent buying …

This is out today? I was just going to let Game Pass lapse because there's was nothing sparking my interest, but I think this is supposed to hit Game Pass. MS needs to go a better job populating the "coming soon" section of Game Pass. Maybe this means I should resub? Although, maybe my monthly sub is better spent buying it on Steam so I can play it hand held.
