✦ AI summary

Players criticize the game's poor physics mechanics, particularly the inability to control movement in mid-air after jumping, which they find frustrating compared to other games in the genre. The experience is marred by noticeable lag during landing and jumping, creating a slippery feel, and the game is dismissed as an inferior imitation of "Only Up!" that players recommend avoiding.

ひどいゲームです。物理挙動が最悪で、他のゲームとは違い、ジャンプ後に空中で動きを制御することができません。また、着地やジャンプの際には目立つラグがあり、滑るような感覚に陥ります。 『Only Up!』の粗悪な模倣品に過ぎません。絶対に買わない方がいいでしょう。

The movement system is easily the strongest part. Bell can use a grappling anchor, agility equipment and the magical Flow ability to swing through the environment and maintain momentum. I enjoyed learning how these systems work together because the game becomes much more satisfying once I stop moving cautiously and start trusting the movement mechanics.

I liked that the game often lets me solve traversal problems through movement rather than forcing me into traditional puzzle screens. It makes the world feel like one connected playground. The floating islands also give th…

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.

Games like Dragon Age 2: one city, ten years, three acts

Games like Dragon Age 2 are hard to find because almost no RPG keeps you in one city while it rots. These come close, from Neketaka to the streets of Serene.

Games like Remember Me, for the memory remix more than the city

Games like Remember Me, picked for the Memory Remix rather than the neon: minds you can break into, a vertical city to climb, and combos you build yourself.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.
