To Leave

Compré To Leave porque estaba de rebaja. Vi la oportunidad perfecta para apoyar a un producto nacional y, tal vez, ver una naciente industria del videojuego en Ecuador. Lamentablemente, me topé un con juego que trata de temas delicados de una manera infantil y romantizada. Una historia que, hasta la parte donde llegue, se basa en cartas escritas de una forma muy dramática, y quién sabe para quién las escribe. Ese es el primer problema que veo con To leave, le dice al jugador lo que tiene que hacer. No confía en él y le explica, repetidas veces, lo que tiene que hacer. En vez de ser verosímil con el mundo que crea, que me parece interesante, hace notar que las cartas son para el jugador, haciéndome salir de la experiencia. Ahora, como gameplay al inicio me parecía bien. Tener una introducción larga no es malo, pero se demora mucho en darle agencia al jugador. Después te comienza a llevar por niveles fáciles. Uno pensaría que va a tener una curva de dificultad bien manejada, pero llega un punto en que decide que te va a lanzar a niveles insufribles. El diseño de niveles es, por lo menos, malo. Ahora, a eso sumen que hay varias capas de dificultad artificial montadas una sobre otra. Primero, golpearte contra las paredes te regresa al inicio, tienes un contador que cuando se acaba te regresa al cuarto, unos checkpoint que estás de adorno. Aquí no es retador el gameplay, es difícil por ser difícil. No llega a sentirse como, por ejemplo, Celeste. Que tiene ese equilibrio entre ser difícil y, al mismo tiempo, divertido. No da la sensación de estar volviéndose mejor, sino que pasar un nivel es cuestión de suerte. ¿Por qué no agregar un sistema de vidas o un contador de muertes? ¿Por qué complicarse tanto? En conclusión: To leave es un juego poco equilibrado, que no otorga otro sentimiento que no sea el de frustración. Una narrativa poco interesante y mal abordada agrían aun más la experiencia.

It took me a while to write this review, because the game story and elements are so deep, impactating. I`ve kept thinking about my own life and myself after exploring the notations in the room and looking the stages challenges. This game is amazing. It is not only a hardcore challenge: it`s a a lesson that teaches you how to power drive your own objectives about everything.

It's a very very bad game. I don't know why I buy it, because I can tell many faults about this game. 1 the story is no sense, nobody care the story because the mails are full of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 2 the ending is odd, the whole game doesn't even tell a whole story 3 too many frustrating, no sense of achievement thought I already complete the game. 4 not any hint in the game, very terrible control 5 ugly art and graphic 6 lot of bugs, for example , you can select any chapter which is after content 13 7 too long beginning and you cannot skip it. ♥♥♥♥ it I don't know who give so many good comments, but this game doesn't deserve it.

I've been playing this game for the past few days and I can say that I've been thoroughly enjoying it. It can get difficult at times, but after a few times you understand what you need to do in order to progress through the level. The art and the music are great as well. Gameplay wise, the "flying" mechanic has a bit of a learning curve, but that's part of the fun! I'm really looking forward to completing all the temples! Good job, Freaky Creations Team!

The achievement of this game is its elegance. With extremely simple gameplay they manage to create an immersive, highly challenging and entertaining experience with a story dealing with an incredibly profound issue. I highly recommend it. Edit: I very very strongly recommend reading all the journal entries as soon as they're available. The context it provides and the backstory are amazing and very engaging, taking the experience to a whole other level. It is not a short read, but it is well worth it.

It is a very difficult 2D platform game with a very interesting story. It becomes addictive at certain times and the good music of the game is great. I'm definitely enjoying it. I played it on PS4 and I hope that in the future it will be found on Nintendo Switch

I love the hand-drawn cutscenes as well as the storyline of this game. The combination of these two makes it a beautiful piece of art. I am sure many people will be able to reflect some part of their life to Harm (the main character). Regarding the game itself, it is TOUGH. At first, the game is relatively easy. However, as you move deep into the game, it becomes very complicated and frustrating. It almost feels as if Freaky Creations wanted us to feel the same level of frustration Harm does. But, to be honest, it has been the complexity of this game what has kept me hooked. I look forward to completing this game and to seeing how it evolves.
