    Encore l’un de ces ‘simulateurs’ de promenade sans but mais avec une sorte de vaisseau… même si on commence à dire vrai avec une grosse boule qui roule, puis on peut planer et se transformer en une espèce de disque pour planer au dessus de vagues environnements planétaires plus ou moins exotiques…

    Et… il suffit d’aller vaguement tout droit, plus ou moins vite, plus ou moins haut ou tout en bas (comme une boule de flipper) et… quoi d’autre ? un peu de musique d’ascenseur, quelques effets sonores désagréables dans l’ensemble et des graphismes très quelconques (c’est boulotté par un développeur indé avec Unity, ceci expliquant cela).

    Le pire, en dehors du non-sens et de l’ennui, c’est que même sur Series X, le jeu ne tient pas ses 60 im/s et se permet des ralentissements inacceptables… alors que c’est vide, plus vide encore qu’un vieux kaléidoscope foireux. Enfin bref, un étron indé de plus, la routine en somme !    … Expand

    Beautiful graphics, great soundtrack, mediocre story and terribly frustrating gameplay.

    It's very unclear where to go in some levels, the pillar should be clear, but in Sojourner it wasn't clear at all how to get there. The story was pretty predictable and the gameplay was boring. I loved the graphics and at the beginning it showed promise, but in the end, it was just a bargain bin    Beautiful graphics, great soundtrack, mediocre story and terribly frustrating gameplay.

    Intensely frustrating controls, unwieldy camera, garbled and unintelligible "story" - just not really worth your time.

    Exo One is a tremendous title that stands out from its peers. Its easy controls and excellent aesthetics make it a joy to play. If the developers had added extra elements to the latter stages, then it would have been perfect.

    Exo One is at the same time more and less than an actual video-game. It's an out-of-body experience that brings the player across the stars for a couple hours, depycting the closest image to actual meditation we have ever seen.

    Exo One does have a narrative of its own, one which you can take or leave, but the emotional gravity it manages to imbue into each and every movement of your ship, especially in the closing level of the game, leaves you with the feeling that even in this massive, lifeless expanse, your pilot has only one place they truly want to be.
