Solar Ash Review

Ойындар

Reviewed by Cam Shea on PC. Also available on PlayStation.
"Solar Ash took me a little over seven hours to beat on normal difficulty, and while some of the anomalies and bosses were less entertaining than others, and there were moments of frustration with the controls, this was a world I had a good time in. This game may take place in a ruinous void, but its clean yet vibrant visual design is full of life, as is the story that ultimately gives Rei's journey meaning."

    More of an 8 or 8.5. The reviewed who did Hyper Light Drifter for you also gave it a low-ish score and said that it was because "abstract storytelling", and you wouldn't even say what was wrong with that.

If you were turning around midair to avoid falling, then it's normal that Rei lands facing the camera and so doesn't take the rail in the direction you may want.

    Don't forget a Murderer worked on this game. One whose hideous act has been celebrated and even praised by media writers. Do not let a life lost be lost in vain, and if you must buy this game, ensure as little support as possible goes to that person and their contribution.
