Jusant review

Explore a world where gameplay lies not in battle, but in the meticulous art of climbing. In this review of Jusant on PC and console, we'll introduce you to a game that breaks with convention to bring you a new experience.

A refreshing change from the usual combat- and action-oriented games, Jusant offers a refreshing experience that captivates from the very first minute. You'll discover the plot through the game's narrative and by examining the various clues left behind by a mysterious creature.

This creature with enigmatic powers becomes the silent narrator, weaving the story into the game's every detail. Jusant succeeds in telling a story indirectly, through its environment in a world built on an imposing tower, brimming with the remains of a forgotten civilization.

Captivating artistic design brings your ascent to life. The game's exploration is designed to give you moments of discovery to admire the game's magnificent scenery.

Jusant's magic lies in its ability to deliver a soothing experience that stands in stark contrast to the usual AAA games. The developers have paid particular attention to the details of climbing and movement to enhance the overall experience. The game's environment allows for progressive storytelling, revealing the remains of a civilization through abandoned structures and artifacts.

The game's gameplay is based on climbing. The climbing mechanics add an intuitive and engaging layer of complexity. You'll need to control your arms in order to climb, and you'll have to manage your stamina to get to the various zones. The game offers a well-balanced challenge, but suffers slightly from a common thread to find your way. This flaw is particularly annoying during the first 30 minutes of gameplay, as you learn the mechanics.

Although frustrating at times, the desire to keep climbing, to discover the mysteries and experience the joy of climbing persists. The relatively short lifespan, but an extension would probably have made the game repetitive.
