  • Summary: Welcome to Creatures of Ava, a unique creature-saver game inviting you to explore a world brimming with wild beings. Instilling joy and wonder, they provide a unique bond that enables you to utilize their skills for traversing the planet and solving environmental challenges. Once peacefulWelcome to Creatures of Ava, a unique creature-saver game inviting you to explore a world brimming with wild beings. Instilling joy and wonder, they provide a unique bond that enables you to utilize their skills for traversing the planet and solving environmental challenges. Once peaceful creatures, they now succumb to an unknown infection driving them to behave aggressively, which makes your mission to save them an urgent necessity.

    Step into the shoes of Vic, a 22-year-old nature adventurer as she navigates through the immersive expedition alongside Tabitha, a composed and astute researcher. Together, you confront the recurring infection - called "the withering" by the local race of Naam - threatening Ava's inhabitants.

    The game's narrative, co-created by Rhianna Pratchett, is a journey of wonder and mystery but also discovery, leading to the revelation of the planet's captivating secrets.

    Creatures of Ava is an excellent title, and it’s on Game Pass at launch. If you want a game that lets you explore a gorgeous alien planet, get your inner photographer on, and know when to mix in its version of combat then I think it is well worth a download.

    For players who are looking for a game that is simple to pick up and play, with easy combat then we would certainly recommend Creatures of Ava. However, if you prefer your action adventure games to be heavier on the action with a larger area to explore then you may want to look for another planet to play on.

    Creatures of Ava is a touching and colourful adventure title. Its charming nature and fantasy story captured my attention. However, it does not excel as an adventure title. Yet, this matters not as the environments are lush and the creatures are crazy.

    Creatures of Ava is a colourful and fun adventure game that offers a refreshing take on combat. Conservationism never felt so fun.

    Creatures of Ava offers a visually and conceptually ambitious alien adventure, shining for its non-violent approach and fascinating world. Despite some imperfections, the game manages to create a quite original experience for lovers of exploratory and ecologically conscious adventures.

    Creatures of Ava, even with lots of rough edges, deliver an impactful message. How can we help those who we don’t understand? If you’re looking for a game with a new take on the conservation topic, there is no better game to represent it than Creatures of Ava.

    Creatures of Ava offers a familiar 'collect and save' experience with charming visuals, but lacks the depth and innovation to truly stand out. While it’s enjoyable for a while, it doesn’t quite capture the magic needed to keep players fully engaged.
