Exo One

I loved the game. Super relaxing and fun. Game could be longer, I hope the game will be playable on console

look more next gen then new consle games. it can be quite something using ship instead of ball. physc use of this game quite achivement. more like ps3 journey stlye with sience spice. sheldon game seems.

It's a game for relaxing, period! It has beautifull scenaries and the the flying and rolling mechanics are quite interesting. You can use gravity plus the enviroment to move faster. The movement is pleasant and dynamic and it feels really good once you get used to it. The game has an attempt of narrative, but it has no depth.I think this game might work for you if you want the relaxing vibe. It worked great for me because it's exactly what I needed when I bumped into it and I had zero expectations. One thing that I did dislike was that, in one of the stages, they apply a few movements and visibility impairments. Personally, those are two things that I hate in gamming. I don't think it's a flaw, but I do detest it and it made it loose a point lol. Anyway, overall, it feels like this game's mechanic should be used as the planet exploration feature from something broader. Does that make sense?

[PL] 3/10 - Słaba (po graniu 2,5h i ukończeniu) Lecenie kulo-plackiem w stronę słupów światła. Na początku przyjemna i relaksująca, ale z czasem męczy, nudzi i rozczarowuje. Nie warta uwagi. Fabuła jakaś jest i początkowo kusi byciem tajemniczą, ale jest ostatecznie bardzo prosta i niespecjalnie ciekawa. Cała narracja to od czasu co czasu mignięcie jakiegoś obrazka i kilka napisów raz na długi czas, towarzyszących niewyraźnemu gadaniu. Mechanika latania i turlania całkiem ciekawa - do przyspieszania wykorzystujemy grawitację, kształt terenu i ogólnie otoczenie. Poruszanie się przyjemne, dynamiczne. Całkiem niezłe poczucie prędkości. Czasem ujęcia znad chmur bywają ładne, ale ogólnie grafika przeciętna. Bywa zbugowana. W 6-tym etapie przeleciałem gdzieś nad górami i ominąłem przepadkiem prawie cały etap, co odkryłem oglądając "walkthrough", a najwidoczniej był to jeden z tych ciekawszych... choć za mało ciekawy, bym zaczynał całą grę od początku. Potem już do końca gry miałem wątpliwości, czy nie lecę gdzieś, gdzie nie powinienem... Dawno nie grałem w nic aż tak słabego.

Strong beginning, falls apart throughout. The first couple stages of the game are amazing, the quick and simple tutorial explains all of the necessities, and armed with the knowledge of how to move about, you set off via well crafted, atmospheric environments, supported by a wonderful, fitting soundtrack, forwards to reach the resolution of the mystery that is supposed to be the main driving force, though the story isn't anything special. Still, the first couple of stages feel great, the sense of movement and speed, of wonder as you roll and fly and swim through a variety of well designed (albeit upon closer inspection, a bit technically undercooked and empty-ish) environments, it simply feels amazing and I was looking forward to more. Oh boy, was I in for a rude awakening. After the first couple open stages with near complete freedom of movement and approaching your objectives, you are pushed into a more linear, closed in stage, forcing slower movement and requiring more precise jumps, etc. The enclosed, restricted space makes the technical shortcomings (in regards to the graphics) of the game very glaringly obvious and controlling your "probe" becomes frustrating due to the controls and camera which were good for more open spaces - and very obviously tuned for them. Well, this dampened my mood a bit, but hey, it's an indie, and it's just one stage so far, can't expect flawless experience and miracles, yes? Well, next stage just **** me and I just quit the game, because it was even worse - by an order of magnitude. At first glance, open space, yes! Except you are restricted to very, very, very small portion of it, and to move forward, have to do several very precise jumps which require a very specific velocity and angle, which is A) hard to determine and B) even harder to perform, due to the shape of the surface you will be moving on. After a couple attempts (and getting stuck on the last jump) I just gave up. I play games to have good experiences, not to frustrate myself due to poor design choices of the author(s). The feelings the first stages evoked were gone anyways, and there was no guarantee any of the following stages were any good. Also, the game is definitely not optimized all that well - considering it's full of pretty low poly geometry, blurry low-res textures, and particle effects from a decade ago, this is even worse than if it had high quality graphics. Despite running it from a near-empty nvme SSD on a pretty decent rig (R9 5900X, RX 6900 XT), the loading was a bit slow and the game would, in the first stage at least, stutter at times. It also crashed when I tried to play it with a gamepad - would freeze on the loading screen for a bit, then crash.
