I had a few issues with Jusant but it stuck the landing pretty well. For being the "Journey" of climbing games it has a few spots that are very confusing of where to go next and a fair amount of jank around the central mechanics. In my opinion, this game needed less decoration and less collectibles - simpler would have been a bit more effective here. I just wanted to climb, not read pages of notebooks with no stakes. Chapter 3 and 4 were too long and 5 and 6 were too short, but overall a beautiful world and a neat idea.

A platformer with rollerskates never felt any better than this. Sega somehow made the presentation even better with how much more stylized, grungy, funky, and dystopian the city of Tokyo-to looks. The way the levels are structured makes for some really fun and challenging platforming, while also telling a story of the city that you're in through its presentation. Like seriously, levels like the roofs of upper class sky scrapers, an area that's just purely one big roller coaster, the lower class cities that are built very strangely, the big sewers with a cult room says a lot about the world building of this game. Everything just makes sense for a messed up city taken over by a totalitarian business. Just like the game's message, this game in general is just pure funky art that doesn't get old from start to finish.

Also the music is obviously incredible, but I didn't want to put too much space on that since most people only talk about the music but haven't played the game itself.
