Apr 27, 2023Loved it from beginning to the last minute ! The parry system with the color switching mechanics is so refreshing, challenging but not too much, and the bosses are all unique and memorable. The story is simple yet profound, and the soundtrack accompanies it perfectly. One of the best games I played in the last years !

Apr 27, 2023Loved it, The narrative resonates strongly for me and I loved the combat, even though it's a bit easier than games I'm used to (Sifu, Elden Ring, Sekiro, Furi) it felt different so it was not an issue.

Apr 27, 2023Great game, the art direction is gorgeous and the gameplay is challenging yet relaxing at the same time when you get into the flow of combat. This game got some Shadow of the colossus and Journey vibes which I love, I recommend it.

Apr 27, 2023Surprisingly magnificent! Worth my time.
Fun gameplay and challenging experience. I'm tired of game that take 150h of fed-ex quest, this one get his priority straight, would buy again. -
Apr 27, 2023I loved Strayed Lights, it’s a very mysterious adventure/action game, with beautiful colorful landscapes. The story is well thought, i like the combat system and the change of colors, it’s very interesting. I highly recommend this game!

Apr 27, 2023This is a really interesting game, that reminds me a lot of games like Journey, Shadow of the colossus, in a certain way.
A great experience overall. Of course it's not a $70 game with hundreds of hours of gameplay, but surely I will remember for a long time those 6 hours I spent on Strayed Lights. -
Jun 4, 2023I like the fact that the game as a special look and feels to it. The story is a bit odd. I totally disliked the colour and parry system for fighting. Although I admit it was new, but was too fast for my older reflexes. And so I didn't finish it by frustration. I give it 65% but I think a younger audience will find it more engaging.

May 29, 2023I loved it. It is a beautiful game, with great environmental storytelling, awesome boss fights and then there is the parry system. I could go on and on about the parry system!

Jul 28, 2023Your view of Strayed Lights is going to depend on what kind of player you are. If you love playing defensively, then you'll like what's on offer, as it mostly works with a few hiccups. If you're more of an attacker, then the slower-paced fights and lack of minion variety doesn't make for an appealing adventure. The game is short enough that it doesn't drag on for too long, making it worth experiencing for those who are intrigued.

May 25, 2023With its unique twist on combat and a great sense of style, I went into Strayed Lights with high hopes. However, while its presentation and challenging parry-centric boss battles certainly shine brightly, its largely nonexistent story, a lack of enemy variety, and frequent crashes caused that light to fade well before the conclusion of its four-hour runtime. If you’re simply looking for a novel take on the action-adventure genre, maybe pick this one up once it goes on sale. For anyone else, Strayed Lights is tough to recommend.

May 9, 2023Strayed Lights is a prime example that budget doesn’t make the game. The love of their craft and the feelings invested into the project by the developers is what sets the game aside from many other titles. Awesome stylization, unique soundtrack and a majestic mixture of colors immediately highlight its true beauty that was somewhat dampened by the game's technical side.
