This Is Easily 2023's Most Unique Game [Jusant Review]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 жов 2023
- In a generation of platformers, DON'T NOD has delivered a 3D platformer that is simply put excellent. Jusant takes place in a future where the world's water has seemingly dried up, and the player must surmount a tower to learn about its missing inhabitants.
This is done by scaling up cliff faces, breathing life into plants with the mysterious Ballast and either grappling or rappelling across gaps. Unlike climbing titles like Bennett Foddy's Getting Over It or Only Up!, Jusant is more adventure-focused, offering several forgiving ways to scale the tower without grieving over every fall.
It's also no slouch in the story department, mixing mystery with a relaxing atmosphere to create a compelling experience. Find out why Jusant is worth checking out before its release on Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. - Ігри
Played this blind last night and dear god, these are the kinds of creative next gen titles I want to see, it’s wonderful
It is ❤😊
Try out artico too
How did you see it blind? 🧐
@@JDoG867 blind means you play it without knowing anything about it it before you played it. I play the same way. New unknown game comes to game pass and you play it without knowing anything about it before you play it. That is playing it blind.
@@beastrule my comment = satire. Happy Saturday!
loved this game! easily one of my top indie games. the story really drew me in and i loved every second of it. these story-rich immersive games are so satisfying!
I've actually missed several collectables, despite trying to go everywhere possible. It really isn't as simple as it may first appear. Luckily after you beat the story you can select chapters to replay and it tells you which collectables you have and still need. Some chapters took me a long time so if the one collectable I need is near the end, it's kinda annoying that I have to go aaaaall the way through the chapter, but it's not the longest thing in the world.
Stunning global illumination on PC with Lumen maxed out. And the audio is so detailed, I highly recommend using headphones.
I absolutely loved Jusant. Definitely one of my favourite games of the year. I only wish it were longer.
Just finished playing this and it's definitely within my top favorite indie titles. Along with Donut County and A Short Hike lol
About how long is it?
@@nelsongallegos6899 around 2 to 3 hours if one were to take their time to read all the collectibles and enjoy the atmosphere of it 🙂
A Short Hike will live in my heart forever!
@@nelsongallegos6899one of my friends finished it in 2 hours. I’m taking my time and trying to discover everything so I might finish in 4.
i reccomend trying a game called journey
Using game pass and then buying Sony exclusives is the ultimate combo.
Love this game playing it right now and can’t wait to finish it but also will be a little sad I love it, mainly enjoy reading all the notes and documents furthering the story on and it keeps me wanting to know more ! All around great quality game 💯
❤😊
Absolutely brilliant game, my 2023 game of the year easily! Felt like Stallone in Cliffhanger!
Found this and cocoon last night. Need more games like these.
I think Cocoon was created by the same team who made Inside and Limbo previously. All great games that earned me lots of points after playing them on gamepass!
If you like the climbing thing, check out Grow Up and Grow Home. They might be up your alley!
I struggled with some of the puzzle elements but ultimately enjoyed the experience.
How long was it?
@@beastruleCouple hours for a casual playthrough. Couple more if you want all the collectibles!
@@EEE-1409 thx
Dontnod are a very artistic and talented bunch.
Just finished 100 percenting the game, and I can say it's nothing short of incredible. These kinds of games will make the art of video-games great once again. We don't need carbon-copy money-vacuuming triple A titles. We need THIS. Such a unique story, and the visuals and music are incredibly pleasing. It's short, but sweet. And the baby ballast was very adorable. 5/5 Gave me the feels at the end ^.^
A modern release without massive game breaking bugs, almost seems too good to be true
Thank god for these little gems every once in a while ❤😊
Croissant
A must play if you already have Gamepass
Short and sweet
The game looks great with vivid colors, and the music is soothing with some AMR sounds throughout the gameplay.
The climbing is the Highlight here and the world itself.
It reminds me of Kena: Bridge of Spirits in a way
Finished this a few days back, a masterpiece to say the least. Just finished reviewing it due to how much it surprised me in terms of quality and delivery. A 'few' minor glitches but nothing gamebreaking.
I played through this whole game and it was amazing gameplay 10/10 music 20/10 scenery 10/10
fantastic game easy one of the best this year and thats saying alot , and tbh i seems to have grown fond of these linier games , ie scorn , jusant ect that clear path forward and just focusing on the gameplay music and story is a whole lot of fun
It's nice to play a quiet at-your-own-pace game every now and then.
This game is pretty awesome. Only thing I wish it had is a photo mode
Unbelievable. I had so much fun with this one
Seems like a chill/fun game, Happy Halloween everyone 🎃👻✌️
You too! 💀
played and loved this game soo muchh
this shows again how indie games getting better and better and triple A just goin down hill every year
I “finished” the game, but I’d blundered into a weird area earlier that I can’t now find. More climbing and swinging is required, apparently. More exploring to do.
gives me massive ICO vibes
Agreed, it is such a fine experience
U can't fall to your death, can't even walk off an edge without being tethered
Nice to have this inbetween Gow 19, same RPG 192771 with better graphics and all the other same dull S!
Can't wait for Portal 3 tho! 😢❤
Sick game! Looks dope!
Cool little college project type game.
This feels like a sequel to Rime
Game pass win
Wnta mn win
We've been winning all year bro 😫
Yeah- still PlayStation for great exclusives. Xbox for great game pass. Hopefully Xbox can get some top class exclusives in the next few years.
@@makasete30 Considering they’ve let Rare die I highly doubt. It’s a streaming machine and that’s it.
@@makasete30 speak for yourself I’ve always enjoyed Xbox exclusives even the bad ones like Ryse and crackdown 3 are fun. I love gears of war so that’s always exciting and horde and multiplayer is endless fun. I love halo campaigns and multiplayer so I’ll replay campaigns and jump into multiplayer on infinite (firefight is amazing can’t wait for it to matchmaking) and MCC. I always jump into to forza horizon the eliminator mode is always a good time. If I’m itching for co-op you can’t find much better than sea of thieves even stuff like state of decay is good. Xbox has some good exclusives they just aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. They kind of target certain genres and do it up. I do love both though but I’m still playing starfield between spiderman 2
Instant classic on sight.
Arguably the greatest game ever made...
Remarkable game and so so pretty
Bagus bro hebat gamenya sangat menarik aku suka sukses selalu amin.
makasih bro.
It's a lovely game but definitely not worth the asking price for how short it is and for how easy it is.
I wish there was some level of challenge. There is no way to fail. No reason to feel afraid of climbing. No risk.
It is a very relaxing game. The atmosphere and art direction is gorgeous but telling the story through notes just feels very lazy. Considering you are doing so much walking and climbing i'd have loved them to have put the notes into audio clips that would play as you climb.
I also wish they had made more of a challenge and reason to replay. A randomly generated climb using the same mechanics would be fantastic for example.
Considering this is half the price of Alan Wake..... its really not offering much outside of its pretty aesthetic. The climbing mechanics aren't really anything you can't get in the latest Tomb Raider game as well.
Played it for 90 minutes and refunded. I really wanted to love it and i agree with most of your review but its simply not enough for the current price when there are so many other titles that offer way more value out there right now.
It feels like the sort of game that will be free on Epic at some point.
Thank you. Your critiques are exactly what I was worried about when I first saw it. I love games like Short Hike but this seems like one with much less replay value.
Or play it through Game Pass and you can simply enjoy it for what it is without the buyer's remorse.
Gamepass
Yeah- it may be the kind of game you rent in game pass, I guess.
No way to fail? Have you even played the game?
Finally a game on consoles about realistic climbing! I'm enjoying it a lot and I hope it sparks interest in other developers to give us similar games.
Too bad Jusant is not a bit more complex with better gear to unlock, gaining more stamina, a free climbing mode or maybe an editior to make your own climbing walls to share with people.
Yeah they should make a “Jusant Maker„ something like Mario maker just with this.
That’s a grand statement considering Alan wake came out this year
The rental walking woke simulator?.. Pass
99% of games this year are better than Alan Wake 2. 😂
What's the name and platform?
Its Xbox. It's called jusant or something like that. It's good though
Jusant is the name And if I recall correctly, I think it's on ps5 Xbox series and PC. Also on gamepass.
To say the controls are never frustrating is a bit of a stretch. They jank out quite a bit.
Yeah they do but I never really found it bothered me as much as it should off cus the game is just so wonderful only issue it has but for an indie team I am delighted with what they were able to do I’ll play anything else they release definitely
It's boring as shit. But somehow I keep playing it. Want to get to the top of that cliff!
> Cant fall in a climbing game
> bruh
Piton is pronounced as ˈpētän
What happened to Bianca
Fr
She probably passed from old age. Makes you wonder just how long it's been, since you don't even see so much as a skeleton on your travels...
First!
Grader!
It's like we're not allowed to point right at a game and say, "That game is boring."
Lotsa good things to say about Jusant. Unfortunately, it's boring.
If you have no patience. When you got free time and want to have a chill and enthralling experience, you can binge this game!
Walk and climb sim.
Looks boring.
Definitely not worth 25 euros. Felt kinda ripped of for like a 2 hour game lol
Luckily nowadays we have websites like HLTB so we can check when people are outright lying in comments. This game is 4 hours long for main story, 5 hours for main+side content. Also, ever heard of gamepass?
This ain’t nothing but a poor man’s death stranding. How can we give this a pass & everyone shit on Death Stranding? Isn’t this just platforming & overcoming obstacles?
It’s an indie game. What you expect
because this is not death stranding. this focuses more on the climbing mechanics. did you even play this game?
Death stranding is a poor man's Jusant
@@aynrandom3004ubisoft used to do something similar with i am alive
Platforming and overcoming obstacles = Death Stranding in your mind? Crazy how Nintendo used their time machine to steal those mechanics from the future. 🤣
Unique? Lara croft was doing this 25 years ago FFS.
Reading is hard but it’s says this year 2023
Those were tombs my guy.
These aren't tombs. 😂😂
@@vintageoriginallegit So if a game comes out next year with similar mechanics they can call it unique 2024. !! Superb.
@@thefella131 yup as long as the game doesn’t have any similar releases in the year you can most definitely call it unique for the year of 2024
@@vintageoriginallegit being the only one of its kind; unlike anything else.
That's the definition of unique. 👍
Great game!
But you ever noticed how all these post apocalyptic games have "gender neutral" characters? Which came first? The goofy "non binary" garbage or the apocalypse? I have a strong feeling that when society pretends to be totally indifferent to gender, it contributes to the downfall of society.
Just a little thing that I noticed..!😊
What a treat this game is.
