    The high point of Jusant is definitely its well-designed climbing mechanics, which are endlessly enjoyable aside from some occasional (but minor) issues. Sadly we weren't quite as taken by the game's story, but we still wanted to reach its summit regardless. It's the kind of Game Pass title we think some fans will absolutely fall in love with, while others will bounce off it pretty quickly. In any case, it's a worthy addition to Xbox's fantastic subscription service.

    Jusant is one of the best video game experiences of the year. Maybe its message doesn't get through to you, maybe the climbing doesn't call to you, or maybe the lowpoly art style doesn't appeal to you directly... But it is undeniable that Don't Nod gives us a jewel of just a few hours of duration that deserves all the recognition we can give it. Its demo already pointed out ways, but the final game is as well rounded as the most optimistic of us assumed. [Recommended]

    Jusant won us over with its originality. Restful, poetic and artistic, Don’t Nod’s game seized our attention and held it right through to its conclusion, without ever boring us. Boasting a message that is more relevant than ever in terms of ecology and the future of humanity, Jusant is a resolutely militant work. It is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the ears, and provides a great sensation as regards the climbing. Finally, its melancholy and message of hope are particularly compelling: a real breath of fresh air in these suffocating times!
