Rock-climbing has never been so majestic! You really get a sense of scale, starting all the way at the bottom of the immeasurable formation and gradually, stone by stone, you escalate its enormity. The minimalistic narrative is just beautiful and absolutely cements itself as one of the most stunning indie games of the year. The controls are tight too, controlling each arm independently to grab each ledge - really makes it feel as if you are the one climbing this impossible task. Each chapter introduces a new environment and new mechanics that keep the climbing fresh and engaging, with lore collectibles spread out effectively.

It's just too short, unfairly so! Climbed to the top in under 3 hours, and I really didn't want it to end. Very reminiscent of 'Rime' and 'Journey' in the minimalistic adventuring, but one that really has weight to its shoulders. Each grip is a hand closer to saving a dried up world, and I'd happily take on the challenge again.

Oh, and the score is spellbindingly gorgeous. Really elevates the fantastical world of Jusant.
