Jusant

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.

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.

Questo gioco è davvero fantastico, con una trama avvincente che ti tiene incollato allo **** gameplay è semplice e intuitivo, ma ci sono anche momenti in cui devi usare un po’ di cervello per capire cosa fare; e poi, i collezionabili sono una chicca: trovarli e collezionarli è super divertente!

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

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
