Impressions of the game (Stela)

Took recently. What can I say?

Fresh indie puzzle-platformer from Studio SkyBox Labs. As a young girl, waking up in a cave under some ancient monument, the player will make a "tour" of the wreckage of the mysterious civilization. In the end he was waiting for answers – what happened to the world around them and the people who lived in it.

With the first levels Stela without any compunction copy the style of the cult INSIDE and LIMBO. Here you have a corn field in familiar surroundings, but – a dark forest with monsters. Fortunately, the subsequent locations away from such obvious "plahotnogo inspiration" and trying to throw the player a variety of obstacles and situations. Sometimes – successful, sometimes – not very. Clever and interesting puzzles in the game, and in General the Stela run pretty fast.

Copying the formula of "successful cinematic puzzle-platformer", the developers, unfortunately, missed something important: identity. Yes, and on such parameter as "atmospheric", Stela is far behind successful colleagues. However, given the relative diversity of situations and the General brevity of the game is quite possible to spend an evening.

6/10

I will say that in my opinion the game is even shorter and easier than it seemed to the previous reviewer, and therefore I will estimate it even by a point lower.
