    A really charming puzzle platformer. The core mechanic is really versatile, and levels range from thoughtful to frenetic. Meanwhile the art and music both create a dreamily beautiful experience.

    Evergate is a puzzle-platformer with a unique mechanic called the Soulflame. You shoot the Soulflame from your character through a crystal and onto a white surface to break and activate the power of that crystal.

And while the game is more puzzle-focused than most other platformers, the crystals combined with the Instant Fire feature offer fast-paced movement options which make the platforming itself super fun. I've played the game for 200+ hours and still find myself enjoying the gameplay. If you're interested in trying out a new puzzle-platformer with a good replay value, I'd highly recommend this game.… Expand

There's always more than one way of beating a level, and it's fun to figure out creative ways of traversing each level to beat it in ways that weren't intended. All in all, an outstanding game, and in my opinion, a must buy!… Expand

    Pretty and satisfying puzzle platform. The puzzles can be difficult, but they're achievable with opportunities to go above and beyond (or replay) to unlock extra powers. Beautiful score, fun mechanic, lovely artwork!

    A tight and tricky 2D puzzle platformer that combines the otherworldly art style of Ori and Child of Light with the tough-but-fair, die-til-you-get-it, stage-based platforming of Celeste and Super Meat Boy. On top of this foundation is a unique puzzle mechanic in the form of memory crystals that the protagonist Ki must shoot with her soulflame to unleash their powers.

Crystals must be used with wit and precision to reach the gate at the end of each level, and to unlock playstyle-boosting artifacts via optional achievements.

    Evergate is a precision puzzle platformer which looks beautiful and sounds fantastic. Although the controls take some getting used to, the intricately designed levels provide a wealth of challenge, and the power-up system offers many different ways to play.

    Evergate has the potential to be an incredible game to play, with its beautiful artwork and animation, and intelligent and well-planned gameplay. Unfortunately, every level feels like a struggle, needing pinpoint precision to complete and move on to the next. It ends up a frustrating experience more than an enjoyable challenge.
