If I have one gripe, sometimes traversing can get annoying and frustrating. You basically have to remove corruption by finding certain points within the zones and destroying the corruption points and then it unlocks a boss, that you have to scale 3 times to slay it using the same traversal methods. It has a very simple formula, and while it doesn't blow you away, it works.
Solar Ash may not get everything right, but its kinetic platforming and incredibly stylish presentation make its world a lot of fun to explore.ĭo let me know if you find any more reviews/youtube videos that you think would be helpful. And, thankfully, Solar Ash has some gorgeous backgrounds. But, most of the time, that story is where it belongs: in the background.
The late game leans a little too heavily into the story, including swapping out the strong boss battles in favor of a binary choice in the game's climactic moments. There's a reason this space is so dreamily built-Solar Ash takes place inside a massive black hole, after all-but the game is at its best when it isn't treating those reasons as if they matter all that much. It's an ambitious second effort from Heart Machine that mostly sticks the landing. While the main quest doesn't really evolve the challenge, and the picturesque environments can feel somewhat empty, the traversal at the heart of everything does about enough to carry you through to a satisfying conclusion. Rei's controls and abilities give the game a sense of ease, making it feel very gratifying simply moving through the game's world. Solar Ash pushes for a sense of momentum and fluidity with its take on 3D platforming, and it does work very well indeed.
While some of its elements feel overly simple, that doesn’t detract hugely from a clinically focused and fresh experience. A slim move set that rewards momentum is the perfect means of exploring its swirling, broken landscapes and executing its more exacting challenges. Solar Ash is a highly original open-plan platform game. Without a doubt, this game is one of the best indie games of 2021, if not the best. Solar Ash is a contemplative experience, visual feast, and faced-paced thrill ride expertly wrapped up into one exhilarating adventure. Solar Ash is a platforming playground that never loses steam, and it hides a memorable story of unfathomable tragedy.
