Light Fall

Light Fall is an inconspicuous platformer at first glance, but it's worth paying attention to. What really surprises in the first place is the interesting story. Even though it is told using almost static images with simple (but nice) art. Over time, it somehow got under my skin. The voice of the last great owl, Stryx, accompanies you through everything. He is excellently dubbed and his fairy-tale voice will resonate with you. Your hero Nox (I think the game never spells his name) is trying to save his world called Numbra. She is teetering on the brink of extinction, the gods are nowhere to be found, and it is this little hero who will try to save her. As the levels progress, you uncover secrets in short image sequences. The mystery of the vanished gods and also what is happening to the world. What you would be looking for in the game in vain is some kind of bigger fight. Although you have the option to do some kind of attack with the Shadow Core, its use is primarily for solving puzzles and only lastly for combat. You won't find many real moving enemies here. It is limited to fish jumping out of the surface or crows flying out of corners. In the game, you have to solve puzzles, because as much as the game is about speed, accuracy and your skill, it is also about cleverness and wit. So, in my opinion, Light Fall is a great thing for fans of hardcore platformers. If it weren't for the two missteps in the difficulty at the end of the game and the stupid boss fight, I would have aimed the rating higher. [b] 25% [/b]
