Jusant is a meditative game experience where you play as a boy and a small creature who are tasked with climbing an enormous mountain on a mysterious world. Presented with a charming graphics style, you engage in simple ascendant puzzles with occasional moments of respite where you find notes that begin to shed some light on the world you're playing in.

The controls are straightforward, which I think ends up being detrimental to the experience but the game does introduce you to new mechanics at an even pace throughout the roughly 3 hour climb.

I mentioned those moments of respite and that is what Jusant feels like to me - a pleasant and reflective glade in a year of more intense gaming experiences.
