Solar Ash is a movement-based platformer game with some great world building, voice acting, and accompanying sound design. The world consists of various levels that seem to be made in their signature neon-colored cyberpunk art style, which lends a great look to the world and feels like a lot of fun to look at and explore. However, as all the levels/worlds sit in these foggy blue clouds, some parts of the world can feel a bit empty and boring. But one can mostly just ignore these side areas to enjoy the main parts of the levels.

When playing Solar Ash, there's one thing I constantly wished for, and that was a higher difficulty for the game's platforming – whether that be tighter jumps, less sticky grinding, or less automatic hitboxes for targets to grab onto. I played this game on normal difficulty and had a look at hard, but sadly, the hard mode seems to just increase damage taken and some enemy spawns, and doesn't influence the gameplay much in my opinion. Enemies are/feel like mostly ignoreable filler in the game, just there to hinder you ever so slightly once in a while.

Overall, if you're looking for a nice short story game, this fits that role. But if you're looking for something more challenging, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. Sadly at its current price point i can't recommend this game.

Anyone who says this is not as good as Hyper Light Drifter can ♥♥♥♥ right off.
