⌚ Time to finish - 4 hours 00 mins
🤬Difficulty - easy
♾ Replayability - I would play every so often to Re-experience. Especially after playing a game where I found it challenging and died a lot. Refreshing this game has no deaths and beautiful.

🔊 Soundtrack - Great soundtrack!
🌦 Atmosphere – Excellent. Loved the music and atmosphere. It just felt very peaceful and sort of meditative.
🌄Graphics – Great! Very unique art style. Very relaxing palette. The game is just in general feels very relaxing.

📚 Main Story / Characters – Story is very metaphorical. So interpret it how you will, but I believe its about loss and rising up from loss presented in a very artistic way.
🤺 Combat – none
🧭 Side Activities / Exploration – Some, I got a few extras but didn't 100% for the extra ending.
🚗 Movement/Physics – Good ,only clunky part was the boost you get jumping out of water. I couldn't always get the timing right. There were a few times I had to redo some jumping sequences but nothing frustrating.
📣 Voice acting – none!

📝 Review:

I liked this game overall. Its short and very artistic and peaceful. The game itself isn't hard so you are here for the music, atmosphere, and the feeling it invokes. All the puzzles were interesting and I always kept wondering what's next and stayed fully engaged all 4 hours it took to play. The levels are well designed and flow super smooth. Kudos to the team!

This game is complete opposite of Ori, where i died over 1200+ times to finish the game. This game has no death. So it was great to see how this game approached failure, where in Ori they really punish you over and over and over again for failing, this game has no death. This is very fitting of the theme of the game, which is about growing from loss and pain.

💡Final Thoughts:

Short game that everyone should experience. There is no death in this game. Its relaxing and well worth experiencing compared to all the action packed titles. That is what makes it unique.
