Really delightful. I was wondering how they were going to make a rock climbing game fun but Jusant has just enough mechanics to make traversal feel like a puzzle in itself, tense at times but mostly a chill-out game where you cruise up cliffs and slowly make progress toward the top.

Jusant has a vague storyline that is detailed through artifacts you can pick up and read, but I didn't need much more story than trying to get to the top. I liked how the environments changed throughout the climb and added new challenges, like limiting stamina or changing wind patterns. The physics of swinging on ropes across chasms is a lot of fun too and I liked seeing what shortcuts the game would allow me to get away with.

Jusant comes super highly recommended from me as a GamePass title and one players will be remiss not to check out.
