The more you look at Ever Forward, the more you fall in love with it. In short, this game has no noticeable flaws in terms of gameplay and mechanics. The Gameplay is flawless, the level design is breathtaking, the environment and the music are mesmerizing. The number of mechanics in this game is more than enough and works out in making players think logically before solving any given puzzle. You alternatively have an option to hold ‘F’ to return to your checkpoint which saves a ton of time when you are experimenting with ways of solving a puzzle. By holding down ‘R’ in PC, you can save your game at the location you are in, and in case you die, you will be respawned not at the start, but at the location you just saved. One of the best systems in this game that I feel should be in every puzzle game is the ability to create a checkpoint whenever you want. In case you are not able to crack a particular puzzle, you can always go back to the island and find tree leaves which can be used as hints or explore the beautiful POIs to refresh your mind. There are limited objects to interact within the game but, the way all the levels have been designed to improve difficulty step by step and the freedom to attempt a puzzle in multiple ways, really proves that this game was made with love and care. Ever Forward has one of the best stories across the titles released this year.Įver Forward is a puzzle game at its core. As I reached the ending, I was literally blown away and when I started putting it all together, I realized that the game didn’t make me feel like I was playing methodological puzzle platformer. You travel through Maya’s mind and visit these corrupted places to solve its puzzles and in return, uncover tidbits about her real life. Her world is corrupted by the roots of the tree symbolizing her fears. You start on a beautiful island which is Maya’s imaginary world itself. Her mind is stuck between real life and the imaginary world. The story is set around a girl named Maya, who sets out for a journey to overcome the fears in her mind. Allow me to take you through the review of the game that has left me thinking- how did the developers of this game make it so aesthetically pleasing and yet so bold. It showed me the art of putting together a beautiful narrative, stunning art design, and intricate puzzles. The title, the character, and the art of Ever Forwarddidn’t make me feel like I was playing a for a puzzle game.
