This Is Easily 2023's Most Unique Game [Jusant Review]

Ойындар

In a generation of platformers, DON'T NOD has delivered a 3D platformer that is simply put excellent. Jusant takes place in a future where the world's water has seemingly dried up, and the player must surmount a tower to learn about its missing inhabitants.
This is done by scaling up cliff faces, breathing life into plants with the mysterious Ballast and either grappling or rappelling across gaps. Unlike climbing titles like Bennett Foddy's Getting Over It or Only Up!, Jusant is more adventure-focused, offering several forgiving ways to scale the tower without grieving over every fall.
It's also no slouch in the story department, mixing mystery with a relaxing atmosphere to create a compelling experience. Find out why Jusant is worth checking out before its release on Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC.

    I've actually missed several collectables, despite trying to go everywhere possible. It really isn't as simple as it may first appear. Luckily after you beat the story you can select chapters to replay and it tells you which collectables you have and still need. Some chapters took me a long time so if the one collectable I need is near the end, it's kinda annoying that I have to go aaaaall the way through the chapter, but it's not the longest thing in the world.

    Just finished 100 percenting the game, and I can say it's nothing short of incredible. These kinds of games will make the art of video-games great once again. We don't need carbon-copy money-vacuuming triple A titles. We need THIS. Such a unique story, and the visuals and music are incredibly pleasing. It's short, but sweet. And the baby ballast was very adorable. 5/5 Gave me the feels at the end ^.^

    It's a lovely game but definitely not worth the asking price for how short it is and for how easy it is. I wish there was some level of challenge. There is no way to fail. No reason to feel afraid of climbing. No risk. It is a very relaxing game. The atmosphere and art direction is gorgeous but telling the story through notes just feels very lazy. Considering you are doing so much walking and climbing i'd have loved them to have put the notes into audio clips that would play as you climb. I also wish they had made more of a challenge and reason to replay. A randomly generated climb using the same mechanics would be fantastic for example. Considering this is half the price of Alan Wake..... its really not offering much outside of its pretty aesthetic. The climbing mechanics aren't really anything you can't get in the latest Tomb Raider game as well. Played it for 90 minutes and refunded. I really wanted to love it and i agree with most of your review but its simply not enough for the current price when there are so many other titles that offer way more value out there right now. It feels like the sort of game that will be free on Epic at some point.

I love gears of war so that’s always exciting and horde and multiplayer is endless fun. I love halo campaigns and multiplayer so I’ll replay campaigns and jump into multiplayer on infinite (firefight is amazing can’t wait for it to matchmaking) and MCC. I always jump into to forza horizon the eliminator mode is always a good time. If I’m itching for co-op you can’t find much better than sea of thieves even stuff like state of decay is good. Xbox has some good exclusives they just aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. They kind of target certain genres and do it up. I do love both though but I’m still playing starfield between spiderman 2
