The Messenger was quite the surprise for me. Having somewhat a mixed reception, I didn't know what to expect, but thanks to some friends' recommendations, I gave it a try.

I'm not going to spoil the story or the gameplay or anything, but if you're looking to jump into the game: trust the proccess. Yes, it may not be a perfect platformer, but it's quite good, I really liked the mechanics and overall design. The story is surprisingly well done for what it is, and the characters and just the general humoristic vibe of the game was really enjoying. It may be repetitive at times, I'd say that's the games' biggest weakness. But still, the overall experience is really enjoyable and worth it, it actually became lowkey like a comfort game to me.

All that being said, I encourage you to try The Messenger, it really is a compelling experience. Also, the dev team is launching soon a new game "Sea of Stars" and I'm legit excited for it!
