Heavenly Bodies

released on Dec 07, 2021

Wrangle the hands and arms of a 1970s space cosmonaut and push, pull and twist your way through an increasingly precarious range of physically-simulated stellar scenarios, where without gravity, nothing is still, nothing is secure, and nothing is simple.

My partner and I have played for about 3hrs and it makes me angry how bad I am at this game. It's good, but I have to take a walk after playing.

Heavenly Bodies is like a wacky physics puzzle in space! You gotta move around a space station using just your arms, no gravity, and it's both really hilarious and frustrating. The controls take serious getting used to, and some of the tasks can be super annoying. But there's something weirdly satisfying about fumbling around, eventually figuring it out, and building stuff in orbit. Unique for sure, but definitely not for everyone!

Last year I wrote a review saying COD: MWIII was the worst video game I have ever played. Not anymore. Heavenly Bodies is now my least favorite video game of all time. The movement is so terrible that it made me do something I have never done before with a video game...

Quit. I couldn't get passed the second, said "this isn't worth the frustration" and deleted the game. For that, I'm giving this game my first 0/10. There's quite a few video games I genuinely dislike and would even go so far as to say hate. However, none of them drove me to quit. I still finished them to the end because there's always a chance it might get better. Some of them did, some didn't. But, at least they had some redeeming qualities that gave them a point. There's not a thing I can say about Heavenly bodies that won't make my blood boil.

I played video games for fun, escapism and some of them even helped me grow and improve as a person. If I keep playing Heavenly Bodies, I'll just become a worst version of myself and I don't want that.

I started this game solo last year but didn’t get much from it and it was pretty hard to control so I gave up. Picked up again with my brother and cousins and I’m glad I did because this is a blast with co-op and I recommend anyone who wants to play this does it with friends. It can be frustrating and there is a major learning curve as you play but even though it’s near impossible to master it is still a good laugh.

Enjoyment - 7/10
Difficulty - 4/10

Noodle boyz in space. Catch them before they get sucked by space.

Играя за космонавта, в «Heavenly Bodies» нужно в условиях нулевой гравитации чинить всякие штуки на космических станциях. Симпотный визуал и медитативный эмбиент — в наличии. Проходится за 4-6 часов.

Челлендж заключается в местной физике и управлении тушками персонажей: за каждую ручку и ножку отвечает отдельная кнопка. Это дарит море угара и бесконечное количество «Да блять, какого хрена ты делаешь?!».

Здесь всего восемь уровней, но в каждом вы попадаете в уникальные ситуации с разными механиками. К примеру: сбор космического телескопа, посадка растений на экостанции и даже полёт на шаттле по скоплению астероидов.

Это точно одна из лучших кооперативных игр, в которые я играл. Рекомендую всем взять на заметку.

Её можно пройти и в соло. Будет трудновато, но всё равно кайфово.

📌 ENG Version
Playing as an astronaut, in «Heavenly Bodies» you need to fix all sorts of things on space stations in zero gravity. Cute visual and meditative ambient are included. It takes 4-6 hours to complete.

The challenge consists in local physics and control of the carcasses of the characters: a separate button is responsible for each handle and leg. It gives you a lot of fumes and an endless amount of «Fuck, what the fuck are you doing?!».

There are only eight levels, but in each you find yourself in unique situations with different mechanics. For example: collecting a space telescope, planting plants at an eco-station, and even flying a shuttle through an asteroid cluster.

This is definitely one of the best cooperative games I've played. I recommend everyone to take note.

It can also be completed solo. It's going to be difficult, but it's still fun.
