One Last Breath

I remember playing this as a demo back a few years ago, and it had grabbed my attention from the first play. Reminiscent of INSIDE, Little Nightmares, and other dark side-scrolling platformers, this continues the legacy and beauty of these games. You play as Gaia, mother nature's last hope at revitalizing a world destroyed by humanity's hand. You must travel through a myriad of different locations and solve multiple puzzles to reach the next area, all to try and find the source to heal the world. This is a clear indication that humanity was "so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should". While there is no true account of what exactly happened to humanity here since they have disappeared, there are small little remainders that can help you figure that out. There are mutant creatures that were created and inhabit this world, and since there is no form of attack, you have to figure out how to escape them. There are no humans that you see, so either they were all killed or in hiding. There are also secret areas you can find that do give you some extra assistance in figuring out what happened, and can add to the achievements you get. The controls in the game are relatively easy to figure out. Starting the game, there is no tutorial, though I suppose it makes sense that you have to figure things out and puzzle-solve early on just like Gaia does. Thankfully everything is kept rather simple. You can jump, climb, crouch, and use objects, though it is not always clear when you do what. I think it adds to the character of the game, though I will forewarn you some puzzles are difficult and it is easier to pause and revisit the game if you are struggling with a section. The art of the game is done very well. The lighting absolutely added to how dreary everything is. The darkness of the forest, the smokiness of the fires, and the dark metallic of the metal buildings all added to the dreary environment to display how stagnant things were. Then when there was sun and actual vegetation, it was brighter colors. The textures of everything was wonderful too, and it was clear a lot of time and effort was put into everything. The design of the monster mutants and Gaia was also incredible, and I loved seeing how they reacted and moved in each environment. The music did a wonderful job of making everything seem bleak or stressful, but it did have moments of wonder that added to the atmosphere of the game. I also found it a little unnerving that Gaia had a scream she did every time she died, which made it that much more imperative to keep her alive to avoid it. Same thing goes for the noises the mutants made. You learned to instinctively crouch and move slower when they were in the background. The achievements for this game for the most part are very easy to get. Most of them are story-based so you don't have to do anything special for them. There are a few that are given out when you find the secret areas, and then again there are a couple in relation to the different endings you can get. I personally found them all easy to get since I like looking for hidden stuff anyways, so I got most of the achievements on my first run. Not everyone will have the same experience though, so I would recommend playing the game all the way through once before you try achievement hunting. Overall, I think this game is very valuable in relaying what all could happen if we don't take care of our world. We all live in it together, but mother nature waits for no one. Not all of it is a possibility, but some of this does speak truths about what we are doing to Earth, so we should be paying more attention to it. Otherwise, this game is s a very good play. It is relatively short, so you can play through the entirety of it in one sitting if you so choose. Personally, I don't think the game is worth almost $18 considering the amount of content that was added into it and part of the difficulty, so I would recommend getting it on a discount, but I absolutely do recommend playing it because it is a phenomenal game.

Very nice.

Es una experiencia relajante por su ritmo y ambientación,con dificultad sencilla pero satisfactoria,la verdad esq lo estoy disfrutando,perfecto para cuando llegas a casa después de un dia largo y quieres desconectar
