Mesoké

If you're looking for a relaxing game then [b] Mesoke [/b] fits the bill, especially if you like chasing achievements because that is the main driving force behind game play. Otherwise, you might find it a little boring or pointless but I found it to be chilled and rewarding and I enjoyed trying to find the different statues and golden chis. It would suite someone who enjoys exploration and collecting. It's not going to be a game for everyone but what it does provide is executed well with beautiful environments and an easy to use flying mechanic. The main mechanic is flying around the environments collecting blue chi which is dotted around the landscape. In each area there are three golden chi and two paintings to collect also. These are usually in places out of the way which might require some skilful flying or exploration to locate and acquire. Collecting blue chi fills your chi meter which you can offload to upgrade your glider and open portals to different worlds. There is a main hub with all the portals, and you can move around on foot and access any of them, although some are locked behind doors which need a certain amount of gold chi to unlock. Each portal shows how many go…

This is not a game. This is half-baked student project you'd find for free on itch.io - No tutorial - No information on controls/key bindings - No introduction or explanation of the story or game mechanics - No settings AT ALL except resolution and Y-inversion. No possibility to rebind controls, enable V-Sync, change graphic options in any way. - AI generated art in-game and in the capsule image - When quitting the game, the entire screen starts flashing like a strobe light for half a minute. Seems dangerous to people with photo-sensitivity.

Such a mess. What am I supposed to do? Just keep trying to hit the blue dots? I can die a million times without consequence.

Wow, this game is absolutely beautiful! No pressure, lots of exploration; would absolutely recommend for when you've got a stressful day and just want to decompress in the evening!

Before writing this, I wanted to take my time going through the game and read the other reviews to make sure I'm not just parroting what someone else said. I did receive this game for free, though I would have been very happy paying for it and have been encouraging friends and coworkers to purchase it. First, I want to talk about the game itself. The controls are simple, but the mechanics have a little bit of complexity to them, which I found enriched my experience. The art style is gorgeous, and the music is beautiful. The different "levels" have a bit of variety to them, though there are some similarities among some of them. They're not overly expansive, though the collectibles can still be a bit tricky to find at times (I'm still hunting one last painting). Also, the driving factor of the gameplay loop is collecting. As a rule, I hate collectibles in games; however, this didn't bother me at all with Mesoké as I did not feel punished for moving on and coming back later. Oh, and the flying? I'm an overweight, middle aged dude with a bad knee; Mesoké made me feel graceful. Even after collecting everything, I'm going to continue coming back to this game to help ease my mind, to …

A very nice meditative and relaxing game. No stress, just a really pleasant feeling flying in beautiful environments. This game might actually help with anxiety
