   This game i cant describe it. its Fantastic, it looks GREAT , the sounds are GREAT , the Story is GREAT ( if you read the papers too ) it made me think wow in alot of parts , there were alot of game parts that were plain fun.
   
   i will buy it as soon as i can (i played it at a friend) atm iam extremely poor but as soon as i can i will support this dev , this dev is Probably one of the few out there that really deserves each penny . you see and feel the love put into this game at every corner every mile of this game

Calling it a walking simulator is simply wrong, technically it is a first-person shooter, yet throughout the game you will easily spend more shots bringing things back to life rather than killing them. The story is primarily conveyed via audio logs which while nothing new, is used to great effect when combined with the high-speed exploration the game's L.E.A.F. suit provides. While not particularly challenging to complete, it is enjoyable from start to finish, and really, isn't that the point? While not perfect, I give it a 10 because I'd easily recommend it to anyone.… Expand

A mash-up of walking simulator, shooter, 3d platforming and rail running/jumping with good graphics and great soundtrack. Great feeling double jumping high through the air with your LEAF SUIT and the moment when you finally reach the outside again after the underground base style areas and the sun is shining in your face. You start with nothing till you find your suit, then further upgrades allow you to double jump, run over water etc. You can gain personal health by kiling things of nature like trees and animals, but you also have to keep the forest from dying by replenishing life back to the trees and animals, so it's a bit of a balancing act but never a resource management stress type of game. I buy indie games hoping to find games this good.… Expand

   Ok. If I was a reviewer that had to give an objective review score it would be something like a 7,5. But I'm not. So I can be as subjective asOk. If I was a reviewer that had to give an objective review score it would be something like a 7,5. But I'm not. So I can be as subjective as I want. This game maybe doesn't have that good graphics and has pretty simple mechanics... But it made me FEEL things! This game has a great world design and the developers knew that running in this LEAF suit gives you amazing portions of fun so they make a lot of levels like that. But what was even more amazing was the soundtrack for this game. I mean... Damn. Definitely didn't expect this game to be this good. You just sense how much heart was put into it and it feels so positive and adventurous. (Also from the time when they didn't have to forcefully put politics into the game so that's that.)… Expand

   A calming adventure…
   Valley is a mirrors edge meets sonic the hedgehog first person 3d platforming feeling walking simulator game…
   Hard concept to wrap your head around, but it feels great…
   The game takes place as the title suggests in a valley...
   Youre there to search for the lifeseed
   You get a leaf suit very early on and as you progress youll unlock new powers for this suit…
   The first half of valley is so beautifully calming that as I sate in my first impressions video relieved me of all my real world stress almost instantaneously…
   The music and atmosphere is perfect…
   I almost felt like I was in a first person crash bandicoot game with 0 threat.....
   running through the hills with these adorably glowy guys running around, collecting orbs and breathing life into dead trees and animals that I didn’t understand why I was doing this at first, but It felt great…
   And then you learn why..
   The animals were dead because of a government project going on…
   these leaf suits are powered by life… and to give life you have to take life…
   So every time you die in a platforming section you take life from the valley…
   Animals and plants die…
   You can bring them back to life though with the blue orbs you find around… which is also your leaf suits fuel for pulling off new moves during the 2nd half of the game…
   So it’s a careful balance between making sure your suit has energy and keeping the valley at full health while you try and get to the life seed…
   The 2nd half of the game though, I feel takes a turn for the worst as things get more gray and colorless…
   I’m not a fan of factory or station type settings, and this is where the majority of the 2nd half takes place…
   The 2nd half is when things shift from feeling like a 3d platformer into more mirrors edge…
   You’ll get new abilities like being able to swing by a chain, double jumping.. walking up magnetic walls and 2 of my favorites being able to run faster on tracks and being able to run on water…
   These moments were some of my favorite in the game…
   These new abilities keep the game feeling fresh and really make the 4 and half hour long journey fly by…
   During your journey you’ll also run into some enemies that drain life from you, but you can defeat them by giving them life…
   they’re a little annoying, nothing too bad to deal with, but I personally felt they were pointless…
   Valley Is definitely an awesome experience that by the games end will have you questioning everything you just did to get to that point…
   But its weak factory levels hinder it enough from ever reaching an overall solid level of greatness…
   I give Valley
   a 7/10… Expand

   Meh. Nothing interesting and very short. All the “unique mechanics” are pretty boring. Finished it and forgot about it.
