XING: The Land Beyond

1 reason for the negative review: last puzzle, steps of akasha, at the top, might be the last puzzle. Got stuck in the enviroment, as it happens in these kinds of games, alright, no big deal it happens, all I can do is restart. IT TURNS OUT IT RESETS YOU ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM OF THE LEVEL. WHY?? Why doesnt the game save at every section?? No way I climb again to the spot I was forced to restart, I hate games that waste my time. Solid puzzle game but I left with a very bad taste in my mouth.

Lost me at the drum puzzles. Why did anyone think so much trial and error would be fun? Also, it has the classic Myst-clone problem of puzzles existing solely for the player, rather than being integrated into the story. If you can get past these issues, there are some ridiculously beautiful scenes to discover.

This game is Visually pleasing for what it is, the story can be interesting sometimes. But it felt a little bit too long for my likening its a great game if you really like puzzle games.. I don't

So first of all im not a fan of the controls. Click to move feels rather cubersum to move around. Nothing chases you or you have to run, so its somewhat forgivable. The story so far is rather light, but well voice acted and has some emotional connection. Puzzles are reasonably easy, except where you had to throw coconuts. That was rather frustrating coming down to controller tracking issues. I found i got around it by aiming lower at their neck, underarm throw. Graphics are rather dated, but reasonable for the application. puzzles are intuitive and relatively simple and easy enough to get the extra glyphs. But they do get a bit tedious. yes there is a way back for the spear head. thought it was a bug. The weird thing for me though is, i felt if death was actually something like this, i think i would be pretty happy in the afterlife. Puzzles are somewhat sadisfying to do. Reasonably complelling game to keep playing. I'll give it a solid 7/10, hope the developers can make a much bigger and detailed game.

This is an extremely atmospheric game, most reminiscent of Myst, but with easier puzzles. As the story progresses, you gain new abilities to solve them, which are trivial at first but gradually become more complex. The game is full of symbolic references. It tells interesting and sometimes sad stories about life, death, joy, suffering, loss, and rebirth, with clear Buddhist overtones. The music is outstanding throughout the game and perfectly conveys the mood. If you like adventure games that make you think and stay with you for a long time, you won't be disappointed.

Way too many puzzles for me, but a pretty cool VR experience.

Wanted to play this in VR. Tried two different Headsets. The game always crashes at launch and is therefore not playable.

Un jeu de casse-têtes sympa à la difficulté bien dosée, qui suit le destin tragique de plusieurs personnages à travers de courts poèmes à trouver sur le chamin. Il faut dire qu'il n'y a pas beaucoup de meilleurs jeux dans la catégorie une fois qu'on a terminé la série des Myst. Si vous avez aimé Thalos Principle, c'est du même style. Chaque énigme ouvre une porte vers la prochaine énigme, qui est une variante du même mécanisme. Chacun des 4 mondes a son mécanisme (jour/nuit, niveau d'eau, gel, vent). Les plus : - ambiance agréable, poétique, jolis décors - le niveau de difficulté fait réfléchir sans jamais bloquer longtemps la progression Les moins : - il faut maintenir Shift pour avancer à la vitesse normale (mais toujours pas rapide). Tout le jeu. - ressemble plus à un Thalos Principle qu'à un Myst : plutôt que d'intéragir avec l'environnement, on pousse des blocs artificiels sans se demander pourquoi ils sont là - platforming frustrant malgré l'activation de l'aide au saut. Je ne joue pas à ce genre de jeu pour essayer 8x de sauter par-dessus le même petit espace entre plates-formes, quand tomber signifie refaire une partie du puzzle - facile de se soft-lock en s'aventurant dans le décor - m'est arrivé après 1 min de jeu, et plusieurs fois ensuite. Heureusement quitter et recharger la sauvegarde nous remet dans une position viable sans perte de progrès

Beautiful atmosphere and very relaxing game play.

Clever puzzles and a beautiful environment
