SOLE
Use of a controller is HIGHLY recommended
The combination of colour, flowing movement, “soulful” electronic drone and a musical stunning score combine to make Sole a meditative, lonely yet beautiful experience. There is some “light” puzzling to work through and an ancient alphabet to collect which can be used to translate the writings found scattered throughout the game levels. Translating the writings was a lot of fun for me as many give small insights into the creation of the game, while others are simple messages from the team.

This is basically a walking/flying simulator with some small “puzzles” that are really not hard. The visuals and music are beautiful. I actually feel frustrated at the size of the world, because there is SO much to explore and a lot of it feels copy-pasted. As an achievement hunter, I’m gonna feel the need to play again so I can get the rest of the achievements, but I’ll take a break first.
This is the only game that’s ever given me vertigo– the mechanics are a bit clunky sometimes and the perspective can flip quickly, so beware if you are sensitive to this. I found the best way to play is in a dark room with blue light glasses.

WHY DO I HAVE TO DO MATH IN THIS GAME!?
! There should be a prize for getting the question right, though. New dialogue, y’know? That would’ve been funny.
Oh my, this was such a good experience. I loved the SFX and soundtracks played throughout the game. I personally really enjoyed the change of pace with the perspective swaps alongside the story, specially how dynamic it was, making everything more interesting to read.
Also, this story gives me a feeling of nostalgia that I don’t seem to find very often while reading. I don’t know why though, it might be just a me thing, but the plot felt really relatable. Not only this, but I loved how it kept going. Most stories just go to a certain point then just sums what happens after. This actually shows you, it’s SO interesting, I loved the interactions between the characters, felt so much real and wholesome, while sometimes intense. This was such a fresh experience, I wasn’t expecting a free visual novel to be this good.

This is a very interesting visual novel game, good story, good graphics, not much interaction, barely any to be honest. I will finish tomorrow, possibly. This is actually a pretty good length, pretty long visual novel game.
