The Way Remastered isn't an experience you're going to forget in a while, but it would be markedly improved with more accurate controls. As such, it's more irritating than it is inspiring in its current form.

The Way Remastered introduces us a man who does not accept the death of the person he loves, and thanks to his experience working as an explorer and researcher, he believes he has found a way to resurrect his wife. The game does not arrive with an impeccable translation into Spanish, and there are small bugs that can complicate the experience of this adventure. However, the game is still an incredible experience that fans of puzzle games will love.

The story was interesting with captivating settings and gorgeous areas to explore. The game also featured a great audio design, with some voice acting accenting the strong background music. The puzzles were difficult but fair, and the sense of accomplishment created true highs. But between glitches and faulty control schemes, I found the game impossible to complete, and that makes it hard to recommend.

The art is good and interesting. The story was pretty good but I won't finish it. Like a lot of other reviews I thought this had great potential. The puzzles weren't too difficult but what became annoying is the amount of backtracking and overlapping in the puzzles. Mix that with the precarious platforming and bad control recognition you find yourself dying an annoying amount of times. Which wouldn't be so bad if the game put you back right where you died but it usually pulls you back to a point where you have repeat the section of the puzzle you just solved only to get snuffed out real quick again. I can't tell you how many times I would almost finish a puzzle only to walk off a ledge because the textures were dark and I couldn't tell there was a ledge there. It just started to feel like a chore and not fun. I wanted to beat it but when it's no longer fun what is the point of playing? Also others praised the soundtrack but it really started getting on my nerves.

It’s an ok game. Visuals are ok and the ambience music is appropriate. Again devs put there eggs on the wrong basket. Gameplay is lacking. The control mechanics are bad. Jumps are floaty, targeting is annoying, platforming is not good, puzzles are ridiculous. In most of the puzzles, instead of thinking, you end up mashing buttons hoping to get lucky. Bad puzzle design. The character jump box is terrible.Story is ok. Overall and ok,so-so game.

The game had good potential, good vibe, great universe but the control, the platforming and the boring puzzle is why i give a 6/10.

I found The Way Remastered’s presentation to be the most enjoyable aspect of the whole experience. The artwork, music, sound effects, and environments are fantastic. I was shocked at how immersive the experience was, from the beginning’s intense stealth mission to exploring the dark ruins of an alien planet.

The gameplay deserves an 8 or something but the story, oh man the story even though it isn't the most original in the world it surely is told the best way possible hitting deep. This game is a masterpiece in the genre of "cinematic plstformer".

A charming game with an astonishing atmosphere, The Way Remastered will surely be a splendid Flashback-like adventure in the near future. Sadly, Sonka's porting is "today" quite unstable tot the point that we had not been able to see the ending because of a sudden crash and a corrupted autosave: beware, if you want to buy the game before a fixing patch.

It’s a poignant story with beautiful visuals and intricate puzzles, but your enjoyment will depend very much on your temperament. The Switch version is the pick for newcomers, though it’s hard to recommend if you’ve already played on another platform. Provided you’re comfortable with its slow, cerebral pace and can overlook the stiff remnants of its influences, there is much to enjoy here.

The Way Remastered is another janky indie game with faux-retro pixel art that misses the point of pixel art. It looks and plays like it was made by amateurs or possibly by some cynical designers who ticked all their checkboxes on what generic indie games are. This is not the worst indie game made - far from it - but it is so bland and plain... so middle of the road and inoffensive, that it is devoid of soul.

It's pretty cool. Glad I gave it another chance. I had to do the whole space ship section at the beginning over, because I left and came back to the game in the middle of it and so I got lost. Better to do it in one go so you remember what you are doing. Presentation is the best part of the game and makes you want to continue on. I don't know what people are taking about the unresponsive controls. The controls do exactly what you press. It's stiff tho, on purpose. Game is going for a Flashback vibe but thank God they didn't emulate the controls exactly.

This game's good, really. It's beautiful with its advanced 8-bit aesthetic and deep story, but pretty much no replay value.

Wasted potential. I love the pixelart in this game, first 30 minutes were great, but after it you realize, that the game is based on totally random and cheap puzzles. It is not even hard, it's just moving objects without any logic, most of the time. I quit the game close to the end of it, after another stupid platform section, which was totally based on luck and trying over and over again. A lot of bugs too, some puzzles/enemies were out of sync a lot of time.

While The Way Remastered has a gorgeous atmosphere with a pleasant ambient soundtrack and cool pixel art design, the controls are slippery and imprecise, leading to frequent deaths, sometimes compounded by inconvenient checkpoints. Additionally, many of the puzzles are bland, some of them drawing inspiration from the physical puzzle games Rush Hour and Lights Out, for example. All this is wrapped up with a generic story, centered around the girlfriend in freezer trope, and while the LucasArt-like text on-screen is a nice touch of nostalgia, the voice acting that delivers these lines is stilted. It's a disappointing experience altogether.
SummaryThe Way Remastered tells a story about a member of space explorers team who lost his beloved and cannot accept her death. During one of his expeditions he discovers ancient writings that testify the existence of a method for obtaining eternal life. Hoping to get his beloved back, he decides to return to the alien planet. However, the pla... Read More
