ASTRAL (2018)

What was that? Just a game to get a bunch of achievements? Really bad game.

Didn't get to finish this one as the metro level has a very poorly designed puzzle that doesn't seem to allow you to get past it, if anyone has figured it out though let me know 4-10

The game is great and similar to LIMBO. Cons: -The controller layout cannot be changed, and the controls are limited. -The cameras cannot be moved in multiple directions. -The checkpoint is from far away.

If you enjoyed Limbo, Inside, or Black the Fall, ASTRAL is worth checking out. It delivers a moody, atmospheric platformer with a gripping story, simple but engaging puzzles, and an interesting monster possession mechanic. However, it falls short of its inspirations due to its lack of challenge, clunky AI, and minimal customization options (locked FPS, no key rebinds, and a frustrating checkpoint system). The game is also too short for its full price, but at a discount, it's a solid experience—especially for achievement hunters, as 100% completion takes a single playthrough. While not as polished as its predecessors, ASTRAL still offers an enjoyable journey through its bleak, post-apocalyptic world.

[h2]Verdict[/h2] ✅ Recommended Not my type of game. It stopped being fun for me after [b]0.1 hours[/b] and I won’t play it again, but I still recommend it — I can see it clicking for other players. [h2]My history with the game[/h2] I gave it a quick try, it didn’t hook me at all, and I dropped it almost immediately. Still, I wouldn’t call it “bad” — just [b]not for me[/b]. [h2]Quick signals[/h2] 💸 Value: ☑ "That'll do, pig. That'll do." 🖥️ Requirements: ☑ Minimum 🎨 Graphics: ☑ Cheap ⏱️ Length: ☑ 5–15 hours 📖 Story: ☑ Good 🎮 Difficulty: ☑ Simple 🐛 Bugs: ☑ Perfect [h2]Who this is for[/h2] [b]+[/b] You’re okay with smaller/cheaper-looking games and you care more about the idea/gameplay than presentation. [b]+[/b] You enjoy trying niche titles that might surprise you. [h2]Who should skip[/h2] [b]-[/b] If you need strong visuals or a game that hooks fast, you might bounce as quickly as I did. [h2]Final note[/h2] I’m not the target audience, but if this genre/style is your thing, it’s worth a try — especially if you can grab it cheap.
