Ratings and reviews

I've been wanting to try this game and was excited to see it on Play Pass. Wonderful game, but when I tried it on my phone, the touch screen controls were frustrating. It was hard to make precise jumps, and the positioning was awkward. I connected my Xbox controller to my tablet. It made the gameplay so much easier, and my thumbs weren't covering up a portion of the beautiful landscape. I would strongly recommend either getting this game for pc or having a controller handy.

Beautiful game, no complains there! Although there were technical bugs, and the controls felt too sensitive and floaty that it was quite frustrating at times with the puzzles. Additionally, level design was confusing at times as many areas looked the same, so a lot of time was wasted on wandering around--not sure if I'm going the right way to progress. Overall, good game, but due to the issues mentioned, it was demotivating to continue the game at times.

The controls are floaty and a bit imprecise. The level design often leaves you wondering why certain surfaces can't be reached and why some things are walls and others are just decorations. Often the bonus sections are nebulous and pass you by permanently without warning. It runs poorly more often than I'd like. But it's literally the most beautiful game I've ever played. It's like navigating a living painting. The music is perfect and matches the world flawlessly. Despite issues, still 5 stars
