    Looks good, plays somewhat okay. Utterly disappointing writing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

    The game is largely a mishmash of quality, but the writing is tragically poor. It feels like they pulled a middle-school kid out of class and told him to do his best.

    The story of the game is so stunning for an indie title. Definitly the best game in 2021.

    I wanted to love this game...But I hate it. The art is amazing, but the gameplay is so shallow. Its basically non existant. You run around for a few minutes then fight the boss then repeat.. The boss fights are extremely lame...and the ice feel of the landscape really interferes with the lots of platform jumping required in Solar Ash

    I want a refund, some youtuber recommended this but it's very bad. Wish I got GOW instead.

    Few games feel as good to play as this, but the demanding platforming might not suit all. A heady mix of challenge and reward. Plus, space rollerskates. [Issue#10, p.76]

    Solar Ash will excite the player thanks to its creative visuals and smooth movement but it soon gets too repetitive and loses its originality and challenge.

    Solar Ash feels like a middle ground between something like Jet Set Radio and Shadow of the Colossus. Sadly, the new game by Heart Machine lacks any meaningful ambitions or novelty, and yet if you love the genre, Solar Ash is worth a try.
