With its stunning graphics, a narrative deeply relevant to our current reality, and gameplay featuring a diverse array of mechanics, Jusant delivers a comprehensive experience. Although it may be brief, it stands out as an excellent addition to your PS5 library.

Jusant is one of those titles to be played at your own pace, while enjoying its landscapes and every moment of its characters' journey. More than a climbing game, Jusant is a work of friendship and awareness; an adventure through a desolate world full of stories to tell.

Takes a simple idea for activity and turns it into something special, thanks to immersive controls, a powerful sense of exploration, and great worldbuilding. [Issue#35, p.92]

One of the best game i ever played ! The game is sooo calm. The environnement is full of detail. The plot is really cool because you dont know where and why you going up there and the end incredible because in 5 minutes you understand the whole story !

It’s a game that came about from just having nothing else to play, and for some reason, Jusant was the one that caught my attention at that moment, and I’m really glad it did. It’s a very simple climbing game, but the visuals completely surprised me and made the experience much more engaging than I expected. On top of that, there’s an unmatched feeling of accomplishment when you finally finish it. The simplicity combined with the sense of achievement makes it a surprisingly satisfying and memorable game. Probably one of the best indies I ever played.

Unique, peaceful and slightly moving. With it's brilliant atmosphere and sense of an old world gone by, I can't help but feel that Jusant is a bit of an underrated gem.

Even without, the game is a beautiful experience that momentarily allows the player to escape from the noise of their everyday life. Its end is brilliantly simple, yet poetic and powerful all the same. You can choose to search for the meaning in every crevice, or simply enjoy the climb. Either way, this is one adventure we recommend you embark on — there’s lots to uncover in the world Jusant offers.

Jusant from developer Don’t Nod is a wonderful example of balancing well-crafted gameplay mechanics to perfectly matched puzzles to use them on.

Tengo muy poco que decir de este juego y es que me parece perfecto. Todo. Juégalo. Tanto su mundo, historia, gráficos, diseño artístico, mecánicas de escalada, banda sonora. Es un juego maravilloso pero también arte y una experiencia única y emotiva

Jusant is a wonderful, meditative puzzle adventure framed around climbing that effectively draws you into its mysterious world. With creative level designs that make the most of the vertical tower setting, the climbing mechanics are fun and intuitive, and the pacing keeps its feeling too repetitive overall.

Jusant is a wonderful gaming experience with an almost meditative flow, supported by an atmospheric soundtrack and almost perfectly balanced game mechanics. Unfortunately, it's already over after about five hours. In the end, however, you are left with a strong message and the great feeling of having achieved something.

Jusant gets the most it can out of a simple formula. It tells a memorable tale, one that goes to some unexpected places by the final chapter. The game uses a central gameplay mechanic that anybody can grasp. Plus, it's beautiful to behold, taking that idea of climbing a picturesque tower and using it to craft some awe-inspiring landscapes...The climb to the top of Jusant isn't a long one, but it makes the most of every moment. If this is an example of what happens when Don't Nod decides to get experimental, I can't wait to see how much bolder the team can go.

Jusant is a gorgeous and relaxing puzzler with well-design climbing mechanics that evolve over the course of a very tight five-hour runtime.

I have no doubt that some people are absolutely going to love Jusant – but it’s definitely not for me. If you’re a fan of climbing, you’ll find plenty to love here, but I found it all too frustrating to ever get lost in the game.

What a wonderful game. I played it through PS Plus and I was completely mesmerized by it that I finished it in one go. It is about 5 hours long and the story is very good. The climbing mechanics are very well done and forgiving, nothing too hard. The music is touching and fits nicely in the game world. By the end, you will be having tears in your eyes, that's how good the story is. It made me feel this game was made by Team ICO.

A good indie hits the spot when I'm in-between larger, more intensive games. An excellent little climbing adventure.

Haber, es un buen juego, pero no tiene una historia muy buena, tiene buena jugabilidad pero no atrae para las 5 horas que dura

Climb to the top of a tower with a bunch of nautical themed crud spaffed all over it. You quickly learn not to bother exploring because all the things you think you can reach are just set dressing, and there's so much visual noise there's little point in looking for anything anyway. Either way all the 'secrets' are seldom more than 6 foot from the route the game wants you to take. Climbing mechanics are actually pretty ok, shame they're wasted on this art-house nonsense.

Boring. Its just climbing ladders - the stuff you normally do in games to get to the interesting parts. Its so dull, who thought this was a good idea?? The walking around camera is very janky
