Manalith

Manalith has set clear goals on what it is trying to do, and it does it well. The game focuses on exploring beautiful scenery and finding hidden locations with collectables. A very chill 4.5 hours of wandering. There are a lot of collectables that can start to feel grindy near the end, if you have randomly wandered around like I may have. That being said, I appreciated the process by which getting one collectable activated part of the environment to allow you to get to a new area. There is a sensory ability, that when upgraded allows you to find all items, but you still have to figure out how to get to them. Each area clearly uses the same components built in the Unreal Engine, but still makes them visually different from one another. I would put a caution on this game for bright lights, activating the manaliths makes the whole screen white fairly quickly.

Manalith is a calm and relaxing game with beautiful scenery. I recommend the game to anyone who likes exploration and relaxing games. Can you find the 100 Manalith's? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_w1-p4BMvA

This is a very relaxing game and a welcome change from the multiplayer stress of other games. Trippy visuals and inviting atmosphere are welcome as well.

Very relaxing. Reminds me of an old mmo
