A pleasant artstyle and pleasant musi. But the gameplay ends up being pretty basic. It's inspiration is clear with its weight feeling pretty similar to ico but it doesn't translate as well to 2D. I think the biggest issue is how formulaic it is. Get from left to right and the puzzle is bookmarked by grabbing a rope or and additional but fundamentally the same premise option. Many games that excel in this style of game do so by keeping you on your feet but the gameplay ended up so unengaging that I ended up not engaging with the landscapes that seem so well made. A shame. As this could have been a highlight of the year
