Not for those who seek challenge above all, but anyone who enjoys relaxing, contemplative experiences should feel over the moon about Europa.

While Europa is not a game I can recommend without some reservations, what I admire most about it is its unwillingness to square the circle of its gameplay and narrative dissonances. Having seen where the story lands, I can safely say the contrast is not unintentional on the part of the developers. And while I do find myself personally bristling at the more hopeful inclinations, I admire the fact that, to the end, Europa asks you to decide for yourself what you think of all this. It’s a brave game that gives over such thematic decisions to its player rather than beating them over the head with a desired interpretation. Europa might be the spa music of post-apocalyptic games, but its relaxation asks a deeper question: Do we deserve a greener world? And, if not, how might we change ourselves so that we fit into that greener utopia of which we’ve dreamed so long?

As well-intentioned as its encouragement to slow down and sniff the flowers may be, we can't help but bristle when the process is so leaden that it rarely feels like a relaxing meadow stroll. [Issue#404, p.120]

Bad walking simulator. I say bad because scenery is almost same whole level and even not detailed someway. Weird controls with all of it. Story is...sentimental story about your dead father. Cant say its bad in general but definitely not for me. Only really good thing is graphic art and easy difficulty. How someone want money for this is beyond my understanding.

Europa is a game largely inspired by Journey, but without the coop element. It's a charming game for all the family, but maybe more for the youngest. The story is interesting. The music is pretty good and the graphics give a nice atmosphere to the game. The length is around 4-5 hours. There is no fighting, no items. Simple exploration and moving forward. The puzzles are easy, if you call this puzzles. You collect some green gems, but I don't know why. I give it 80% because it's relaxing and it's a well done game, even if it's very limited in it's actions,

(MY SCORE : 7.6 /10) Action-Adventure Platformer game that relies on exploration and a little puzzle is indeed quite monotonous, although the implied message to be conveyed in this game is quite good. On one of Jupiter's moons called Europa, we become Zee, an Android who travels through the area to collect messages that are the handwriting of his creator, Adam, who has died and is the last human on Europa. The message from Adam is scattered in several areas, and Zee collects it in a book while painting some of the living things he meets along the way. He can also collect Emeralds and use his powers to jump and glide.There are 15 chapters to complete the game.

Europa is the closest thing we have to a Ghibli movie in video game form. With stunning visuals, a relaxing atmosphere, satisfying movement mechanics, and an intriguing mystery to uncover, Europa is a game worth losing an afternoon to.

Wow, what an amazing game! The choice of songs is the best. It takes us to another side. Very calm. The colors and the environment are fantastic. I can only recommend this fantastic game to everyone.

Europa is a very charming chill game. I fell in love with all the colors and visuals. The gardeners were very cute too.

Europa is a peaceful experience while still managing to be a compelling 3D platformer in its own right. Despite the utter lack of any threat, it never stops being fun thanks to its gorgeous visuals and simple gameplay.

A lovely, beautifully crafted adventure, Europa feels like stepping into a piece of art. Its art direction is nothing short of magnificent, supported by an atmospheric soundtrack and fantastic voice acting. Flying through its gorgeous biomes is tactile and relaxing, and its short narrative compels you through its intriguing world. Despite a few frustrating mechanics interrupting its flow, Europa is a stunning little indie that’ll delight gamers looking for a chilled-out few hours.

Europa is a heartfelt and beautiful adventure title. However, it is far too short. This was a shame as I loved the vibrant world and the interesting story. Accordingly, I wish the developers had made it much longer.

Narrative games sometimes struggle with balancing the flow of gameplay and storytelling. For Europa, the team at Novadust Entertainment has managed to keep the pacing tight throughout the entire experience, ensuring that the gameplay doesn’t detract from the story, and the tale doesn’t stop you from taking to the skies. Even if the journey has a few rough edges, Europa is an immersive and thought-provoking game that nails the Ghibli sense of wonder.

Although the game looks stunning and has an amazing soundtrack, it falls short in key areas. The story takes a bit too long to get interesting, and despite beautiful environments, there’s little to explore or do beyond collecting items. This underutilizes the potential of the unique world it has.

A very small soothing experience. Loved gliding around and listening to the soundtrack. The story is very touching.

Children's game with a very valuable message, the colors are very impressive and the graphic style fits the narrative and also the game idea. A solid 7/10 in this genre.

Dont believe good reviews they are from dev, family, bots, paid reviewers.
even free not worth it watch it with speed x1.25 on utube.
- 1:45 - 2:30 hours long. -it's very very repetitive walking simulator with platformer elements, bad very repetitive level design, clunky movement, useless collectable, very repetitive easy enemies and platforming. -only good graphic.
SummaryOn the moon Europa, a lush terraformed paradise in Jupiter’s shadow, an android named Zee sets out in search of answers. Run, glide and fly across the landscape, solve mysteries in the ruins of a fallen utopia, and discover the story of the last human alive. Europa is a peaceful game of adventure, exploration and meditation. As you tr... Read More
