    An action platformer game with some metroidvania inspirations and a charming but dark atmosphere. It is short, very short,but it is also a high quality indie game.

    Really, Olija is proof that you can have a tense and satisfying action game without a punishing level of difficulty. Its harsh world made me feel uncomfortable — but it never made me mad.

    Pros.:
    - Smooth. Easy to play.
    - Some small Easter eggs.
    - Curious world.
    - Everything you want from the indie project.

    Cons.:
    - A bit off with the story at the beginning.

    Olija is an interesting yet underdeveloped game. The story could be told in a more fulfilling way. The levels could be more complicated. The puzzles more challenging. The game reminds of other indie projects, of tasks from other games and feels like the developers cut half of the content.
    Still, the game doesn't leave any negative feeling or emotions. And the last encounter with the boss is quite curious since you may feel like events in Olija are not the first time happening, that Faradey actually been there over and over again, and the vicious circle had repeated multiple times. Until he finally departed with Olija.
