So I've read this manga called "Kokou no Hito" ("The Climber") this year. A fantastic read about a boy rejected by people finding peace (and himself) in mountain climbing. If I hadn't read it I wouldn't be nearly as interested (and nearly as satisfied) with Jusant as I am right now.

I have very little to complain about this one. Sure, it's a bit easy and the game can jank out at times but it's the closest I've felt to playing a Fumito Ueda game in a while. Also, I was reminded of Outer Wilds every time I read through email correspondence of people who used to live on the tower, so that's a plus. Play it on whatever settings enable Lumen since it's a great showcase of Unreal 5, really gorgeous stuff.
