✦ AI summary

AnShi is a visually stunning, atmospheric hoverboarding experience with an excellent soundtrack that successfully captures a Journey-like sense of wonder and beauty. However, players are divided on its execution: some appreciate the short, complete experience and emotional storytelling, while others find the frequent stop-and-start gameplay interrupts immersion, and criticize the vague plot and lack of interactive substance, feeling the game is more about moving between points than genuinely exploring or engaging with its world.

Wonderful short game, journey like but with a few rough edges, nothing game breaking just a touch confusing. Such a shame the developer closed up would of loved to see more, still one guy had a vision and its beautiful vision, gotta respect that dedication.

AnShi is a pretty good sci-fi wordless walking (hoverboarding?) simulator, in the same vein as Journey. It has nice visuals and the hoverboard movement feels really good, but how the storytelling took place jarred me out of the atmosphere every time. Every 5 - 30 seconds, you have to stop and activate something, which results in an unskippable cutscene for everything from activating a machine to gathering a collectible to large chunks of story. It prevented the game from feeling as fluid and immersive as its potential could be. The soundtrack and the environments are pretty great though, and for finishing the whole thing in a couple of hours it didn't overstay its welcome and remained engaging enough that I actually did finish it (I tend to drop games very quickly). You can clearly see how much the developer cared about making this game. It's a little expensive for what it is at full price, pick it up on sale if you like games like Journey or Abzu and want to try it out.

I played it in VR with UEVR and it was really a magical and emotional experience. Fantastic soundtrack.

This was such a beautiful game, reminding me in every way of Journey. The Being in this game was on a search for a higher meaning IMO and was on its hoverboard to get there. I loved the scenery, the music, the serene flow of the game itself, and was delighted at the end to see that the Being had reached the ultimate goal (I won't spoil it for those who haven't played it yet). I'd play this game again and it would still have the same magic throughout.

the whole thing felt... so pointless.. it took me months to finish, i couldnt bear it, you just hover around with nothing to do just going from point A to B, environment is cool but there is nothing to do in it. i couldnt even understand what the plot was.

This Game has litterly zero story even the AV show it and I can say the movement feels wrong for a price of 15€, I would give the Game MAX 5€, never played it till the end there is in the basic nothing to do except visit, visit, visit and rescue that's it.
