Graphically, as with Hyper Light Drifter, I adore this style. Solar Ash is an elegant mesh of technology and life. I especially love the transition effect between scenes as bright goo oozes over your screen it’s a small thing but it fits the feel and style of the game perfectly. It feels alien, it looks so sharp and throws neon flashes into your eyes at every turn. It’s technological, it’s ancient and ever so stylish. The world-building and style that oozes through every pore of this game are gorgeous.

I always enjoyed exploring as it was always fluid, fun and often required some sweet, sweet moves to reach your intended destination.Ī World Like Nothing Else Currently on The PlayStation 5 There are side-tracks, secrets and routes off the main path that often reward you with goodies or more likely some hard sought after upgrade materials. There are upgrades to unlock, suits to collect and a few side stories to ponder over. It’s all rather simplistic, yet extremely pleasant. You are rushing around, slicing enemies, clearing ooze and downing massive bosses. It’s certainly a novel mix of genres that blend together well. Each one is a mini-puzzle, an assault course of sorts that you must use timing and platforming skills to overcome. Good times!Ĭlearing each of these zones requires you to skate, parkour, jump and attack certain points in a ballet-like combo. Most of the time in mid-air and on a timer. Massive hulking bosses must be traversed across and parts of them attacked to bring them down. These bosses are called Revenants and are very Shadow of the Colossus-like. Let me unravel that for you, each area you reach, you must clear a number of ooze covered areas to enable the massive, rideable boss to be taken tackled.
