Normally, I'm inclined to complain about contemporary games being too long, but I really think Jusant could've used just a little extra time to flesh out the third act and introduce some more challenging scenarios. That might be against the Journey-like spirit, but I like the climbing system a lot and would've loved some puzzles that really require full use of the toolset!
It's a good thing this has great combat encounters, because the story is boooriiing
Ultra Deluxe is a good entry point for people who missed the 2013 standalone game. If that's you, consider this review to be more like 4.5 stars!
As a returning player and fan of the first game, I found it kind of lacking. Ten years ago, I was genuinely taken aback at the game's humor, depth, and breadth. There were fewer games willing to get so meta and tackle more complex philosophical concepts, and even fewer that I knew about as a teenager.
Ultra Deluxe has no shortage of additional content, but I didn't find much of it to be all that... new. It's the Stanley Parable, but there's just more of it. Not better or even different per se, just more.
