Exo One

Cool idea, nice visual effects - not bad, per se. I'm giving a negative review because I simply didn't enjoy it - It felt like a chore. Perhaps part of the problem is the gloom and doom vibes, everything feels sad for some reason. To be fair, if you watch the trailer video that is what you are getting, but I suppose it wouldn't have hurt to introduce some more joyous music or encounters at some point in the game. I haven't reached the end yet and will likely try to later just for the sake of completing it, but I can't say I am looking forward to it.

i'm not really certain what's going on but it sure is cool

Интуитивно понятный геймплей, очень красивые планеты, максимально медитативный проект. Прошел за два часа, но это были прекрасные два часа, бесконечно благодарен создателям и огромному списку поддержавших на кикстартере. Единственное, что немножко огорчило после полного прохождения - отсутствие возможности выбрать планету, чтобы на ней полетать просто в удовольствие. В остальном просто великолепная игра.

Fabulous little game. It takes the casual, atmospheric nature of a walking simulator and pairs it with simple but incredibly satisfying physics movement system. Environments are lovely, the soundtrack is perfect, and the story is just enough to contextualize everything. It's short, but definitely worth 2-3 playthroughs; mastering the movement mechanics and coming back for a second run is very satisfying. Set aside 2-3 hours on a quiet evening and just enjoy it, worth every penny.

At the price point the game is at I don't recommend it. If you buy it now, for 4.94€, I'd say it's worth it. The game has a little over 2 hours worth of content. Just enough to not be able to refund it. It's definitely not worth 16.49€. Yes, the movement is really good and satisfying, but considering that's pretty much it (and the music is good). I can't recommend it. The game's story exists. That's about all I can say. The texts that appear on the screen were pretty fast, and I thought the voice acting would eventually have a clear understandable tone, but it was always just unintelligible sounds.

More of an experience than a game. But what an experience!

Exo One is a unique game and truly deserves to be called an experience. For me, the physics-based controls were quite challenging at first — without prior experience they take some practice. But as you get the hang of them, the enjoyment grows. The immersive journey takes you across ten impressive planets with breathtaking landscapes, finely tuned sound effects, and perfectly matched music. You build up high speeds, sometimes even flying and gliding at supersonic velocity — it feels dynamic, yet calm over long distances. It can be relaxing, but it also offers a satisfying playground for speedrunners. *** Exo One ist ein besonderes Spiel und verdient tatsächlich die Bezeichnung „Erfahrung“. Für mich war die physikbasierte Steuerung teilweise sehr schwierig, ohne entsprechende Vorerfahrung erfordert sie etwas Übung. Mit zunehmender Übung kommt dann aber auch der Genuss. Die immersive Reise führt über 10 eindrucksvolle Planeten mit fantastischen Landschaften, sehr gelungenen Audio-Effekten und perfekt abgestimmter Musik. Man baut im Spiel hohe Geschwindigkeiten auf, fliegt und gleitet manchmal sogar mit Überschallgeschwindigkeit, was sich dynamisch, über weite Distanzen aber auch sehr ruhig anfühlt. Es eignet sich zur Entspannung, ist aber auch ein netter Parcours für Speedrunner.
