    Valley is an enjoyable experience that tells a comfortable narrative through brilliant music, exemplary writing, and a creative setting. It doesn’t quite hit all the notes of what we ought to know for a satisfying ending and it is, unfortunately, plagued by a lack of map, lighting issues, and terrible frame-rate drops. Locomotion in the L.E.A.F. suit is often the most fun you’ll have in the game and it is wonderful to be able to take such a simple and heartfelt story with you in handheld mode on the Switch, however, once the game is done you probably won’t be inclined to play it again.

    It fully engages you throughout your journey, but it’s all over before you know it.

    Valley is a relaxing indie game with an absorbing narrative and beautiful setting.

    Its a very short game, but what is here is very enjoyable.    Valley is a relaxing indie game with an absorbing narrative and beautiful setting.

    Its a very short game, but what is here is very enjoyable. Valley has some really interesting mechanics, with its take on death being particularly unique and poetic. The L.E.A.F. suit, which provides you with the ability to cheat death, give and take life, and traverse through the world with fast, fluid movement is a lot of fun to use.

    Another thing Valley has going for it is its great soundtrack, and it ramps up at just the right moments.

    The game doesn't do much wrong in its roughly 3 hour runtime, although it did crash on me at one point and its save system could be improved.

    Valley is a sweet little indie with some fresh new ideas, and it certainly doesn't overstay it's welcome. I highly recommend it!    … Full Review »
