    Traverser is an intriguing game. While it doesn't do that many great things with its gravity glove, it makes up for it with the clever story, novel premise, and the emphasis on sneaking around. However, some ambiguous moments and the presence of a few awkward boss fights weigh it down.

    Traverser offers a very well planned gameplay in terms of puzzles and enemies, but a short although intense experience, seasoned by a striking visual appearance.

    Traverser provides a sweet experience, but doesn't provide a challenge compelling enough to return to.

    Were it better able to traverse the gap between an attractive presentation and engaging gameplay, Traverser would be a game to remember.

    Traverser looks beautiful, but it's not nearly as fun to play as it is to look at.

    Traverser creates a compelling world with numerous interesting quirks and a solid story. While the puzzles aren’t what they likely could be, given the intriguing design and mechanics, they’re also not so awful as to make the experience entirely dull.

    There’s the outline of a great game here—one whose aesthetic would likely attract audiences young and old—but it only ever appears in glimpses. Traverser’s creative premise is worth celebrating, it’s just unfortunate that actually playing the game makes this so hard to see.
