    Ary and the Secret of Seasons has everything a great adventure game needs: a good story, great characters, no repetitive puzzles and an innovative game idea ... BUT it has to struggle with an unbelievable number of bugs.

    Ary and the Secret of Seasons proved highly enjoyable overall, bringing some solid Zelda-esque action to a beautiful yet chaotic world. But it’s hard to ignore the game's technical faults, even if the developers are working diligently to fix them.

    Even if the developers will manage to fix all the gamebreaking bugs with subsequent patches, the core issues like a weak battle system, mediocre plot and lazy worldbuilding are not going anywhere. The only thing that can motivate you to see this game through is Ary's never ending charisma and a chance to see some narrative closure.

    Ary and the Secret of Seasons loses its charm quickly due to the technical shortcomings and bland combat.

    The season-themed puzzles are exciting. The numerous bugs, tedious sidequests and bleak combat not so much.

    Ary and the Secret of Seasons has some good qualities. However, they're almost always in danger of being trampled by the game's consistent lack of polish and stream of bugs.

    Ary and the Secret of Seasons contains plenty of great ideas, but its poorly implemented action and lifeless world ruin the experience.

    Ary is an ok game but it has some flaws attached to it. The story is interesting and there is some humour. The combat is a Zelda type ofAry is an ok game but it has some flaws attached to it. The story is interesting and there is some humour. The combat is a Zelda type of action. The problem is with multiple enemies that uses different types of defence. You have to use the season switching mechanism, but it's simply difficult to separate them. The graphics are cell shaded. Some area are better then others. There is a lot of clipping and limit drawings. The winter snowing and under water bubbles, are extremely tiresome for the eyes. The level design has large area with nothing in it, then you get the temples that are really too complex at times. No balance in the designing. I stopped the game at the winter boss, the one before the ending boss. By putting systems over systems, all you get are very complex combat that test the limit of the platforming gaming, and the patience of the gamer. So, the game experience went slowly from fun to painfully frustrating. I give the game 58%. The game is there but the realization is just too unequal on all levels.… Full Review »

    Good game, not the best, not the worst. Approximately 12 hours to finish it and good quality cutscenes and nice story
