Spring 2024
Temporary post
I wasn't convinced at first with the mobile game animations and lack of challenge but it slowly grew on me. Completing the gazillion small quests and hunting for crafting materials ended up being super addictive.
Much more than a climbing game, Jusant feels like a long poem. It's being alone (well, almost), pushing through, piecing information together and weighing the meaning of everything you see. An ode to companionship and resilience.
Purr-fect companion to the first installment, it has a similar gameplay while improving every aspect of it. Combat is fluid, dialogues are funny and it's very addictive. I'm looking forward to the release of Cat Quest III later this year.
I had a great time with this one. It looks really nice, the gameplay is top-notch and I enjoyed the somewhat non-linear levels and worlds. If you're not going for the star coins or the extra challenges, the difficulty is just right for it to stay fun.
Despite the repetitive missions, the first installment of the series is still worth playing in 2024. The parkour, which was revolutionary at the time, is very well done and the atmosphere really pulls you in.
A free demo of the full game simply entitled Terraformers, which I'm currently enjoying. Be aware that the demo is buggy and won't save your game. (my playthrough took about 90 minutes)
I got this one from the Internet Archive since it's no longer available for purchase. Played as part of a Guardians of the Galaxy week with my son, it's well worth spending time on.
