    Europa is a peaceful game of adventure, exploration and meditation. As you travel you’ll gradually upgrade the capabilities of your Zephyr jetpack, boosting yourself further through the air until you can flow freely into the sky.

    Europa is the closest thing we have to a Ghibli movie in video game form. With stunning visuals, a relaxing atmosphere, satisfying movement mechanics, and an intriguing mystery to uncover, Europa is a game worth losing an afternoon to.

    A lovely, beautifully crafted adventure, Europa feels like stepping into a piece of art. Its art direction is nothing short of magnificent, supported by an atmospheric soundtrack and fantastic voice acting. Flying through its gorgeous biomes is tactile and relaxing, and its short narrative compels you through its intriguing world. Despite a few frustrating mechanics interrupting its flow, Europa is a stunning little indie that’ll delight gamers looking for a chilled-out few hours.

    Europa is an adventure game set in stunning, Studio Ghibli-inspired landscapes, with a heartfelt narrative and a soundtrack that enhances every moment of discovery. The gameplay is designed to be relaxing, centered around the Zephyr—a unique jetpack that lets players gracefully glide through the air, soaring ever higher. In just three to four hours, Europa weaves a poignant story, guiding players on a journey to uncover a long-lost past.

    Despite its simplicity, Europa establishes itself as a whimsical, wondrous experience floating through the wilds of a fallen utopia. I won’t forget it anytime soon.

    Despite being only a small game, Europa has a whole lot on its mind. The developers expertly combine heavy themes of climate change and existential dread with an absolutely stunning world, and it's only a shame we don't get to freely explore it more.

    Although the game looks stunning and has an amazing soundtrack, it falls short in key areas. The story takes a bit too long to get interesting, and despite beautiful environments, there’s little to explore or do beyond collecting items. This underutilizes the potential of the unique world it has.
