    With its strengths lying in well-executed, precise platforming gameplay, Before I Go manages to make good use of simple resources to not only create an aesthetic atmosphere suitable to its existentialist premise, but also to offer a great exploration experience. The combat doesn't achieve the same success in design, with bosses that leave something to be desired, so the recommendation is entirely geared towards those who value challenges involving precise traversal and movement in a Metroidvania.
