Ari's Journey Reviews

Fun, challenging. Takes persistence to master, but well worth it !

Very challenging game. But in a good way. It definitely makes you want to try again and again. After just one hour I felt myself getting better and better at the timing and learning the quirks of the ship's movements. The fact that there's an added story is very nice as well! I was expecting it to be a platformer alone on it's own but the presence of a story to keep you attached rather than the gameplay alone is a very nice touch. Solid 9/10 imho. I'm only docking a point because it took me forever to realize you could hold the boost button to go into a slow mo mode and better aim your jets forward..etc as it doesn't mention "holding" the button down when it tells you the other couple of controls. But all in all this is a very challenging and fulfilling game with added story to follow as a nice bonus cherry on top. Anyone who likes platformers will DEFINITELY like this game! Give it a shot!

The game looks simple on premise but it's a fast paced precision game thats easy to pick up but hard to master. Think Celeste in space. The soundtrack and sound design is excellent, the story is a bit simplistic (Although I didn't read the codex entries so I may have missed out on the depth which is my fault) but serves as a nice way to drive the game.

Deceptively simple fun that sneaks up on you. Some of the content is really hard, don't get me wrong, but it's the kind of game you can zen out in to slowly improve on and do things with your little ship and 'simple' mechanics that you might not have initially thought you ever could. I wasn't the best at timing my jumps by any means, but I had a good time playing aggressive space bumper cars, and really isn't that what games are all about?
