A game similar in gameplay style to Journey and Abzu, another great game from Don't Nod in a genre they haven't tried before. As I was playing Chapter 4, I got some strong Made in Abyss vibes in a certain area, which was super cool. Soundtrack is pretty good, but they went with the audio design decision of not playing a lot of soundtracks throughout the game, to let you feel the loneliness while climbing up. Good detail in game settings, specially audio where they even allow you to configure audio dynamic range.

Technically, this game does not feel optimised at all, but Unreal Engine 5 might be to blame here. Having a R9 5900HX + RX 6700M, and even after lowering settings a lot, I couldn't run the game at stable 1080p 60 FPS, for something that visually could have well been developed for the Vishera era APU of the likes of PS4. Movement was often janky, with the character sometimes becoming stuck out of nowhere on some invisible object and requiring some button spam to get out of it.

Surprisingly it has native support for DualSense with the corresponding UI, a fair price and no attempted anti consumer tactics by the publisher. Easily a must purchase, despite the technical issues.
