    Jett: Far From Shore has some epic highs but fiddly ship controls and unanswered questions weigh this space adventure down.

    Jett: The Far Shore shines bright in some narrative-heavy sections, and its visuals can be impressive, but – despite starting off full of potential – it fails to fulfill its promise. Sadly, Jett’s finale, much like my time spent piloting its interstellar spacecraft, feels more unfulfilling than thought-provoking.

    JETT: The Far Shore has so much potential wasted due to its abysmal gameplay, the same gameplay that hinders the overall experience and undermines what good has been done on the artistic and narrative sides of the game.

    JETT: The Far Shore, which I entered with great expectations, manages to distract the player from the game with its bad dialogue design and storytelling.

    JETT: The Far Shore is a strange game, with superficial game mechanics and an incredible anxiety to fill empty moments with something meaningful, without ever fully succeeding.

    A sci-fi odyssey of great vision and promise that proves to be its own worst enemy.

    But alas, bugs only exacerbate the sense of freedom curtailed. One prevented essential resin from spawning that made a sequence unfinishable until I rebooted the game; another saw Isao pause in uncharacteristic, eternal silence during a mandatory conversation. It’s testament to Jett’s great strengths that, in the language of the scouts, I adapted and persevered through its severe lows. Once the story finished, I hoped an endgame would open up and allow me to play freely in its world. That I’d have more opportunities to watch great Ghoke, the red sun, rise in real time, and to ponder the Far Shore’s fascinating mysteries at length. Instead, I could only replay previous chapters. If only Jett had embraced a rhythm as organic as its inspired ecosystem.

Gameplay though is nothing special, pretty boring, clunky feeling while flying your ship, trying to figure out what to do, all the while trying to read small subtitles on screen. Bit of a nightmare to say the least. Played the game for about an hour. Have no interest in playing any more.… Full Review »

All of the dialogue lasts twice as long as it needs to and ultimately adds little to the experience. The gameplay is needlessly strung out; you're forced to spend overmuch time on tasks/areas that don't have much to show. There are some good ideas in Jett, but none of them are polished very well. The result is like 5 different gameplay elements all failing to work together, none earning the player's time or interest.… Full Review »
