Arise: A Truly Emotional Story

Rating: 8/10

Easily, one of the BEST EMOTIONAL GAME I have ever played!

If you love the story of games like Days Gone or Before Your Eyes, man this is The Game for you. It's about Love, Life, & Death that we all are going to experience one day. Its a really simple 4 hrs story but the narration is so fantastic with its music and visuals, you are gonna spend more time feeling the emotions than actually playing the game. If you love platformer games, this is a 10/10 for you, ignore my rating.

I am listening to its theme music as I write the review and feel the emotions. Thanks for including it free.

Brutal! Una gameplay senzilla i relaxant per seguir el fil narratiu tan emotiu. A més, uns visuals increïbles.
Molt recomenable.

This game does so many things very well.

You're going through the memories of the character's life, from birth to death.
The themes are mortality and grief, developed in a deep yet hopeful and poetic way.

Graphics are great and well-optimized.
The gameplay is also well developed as you have control of a window of time back and forth (like Braid for ex.)

Do yourself a favor though, play it with a controller and with a 27' monitor at least, the photography of the game is very cinematic, and many times the camera is very far from the character so that the player can better appreciate the environment, but on a small monitor or laptop it's hard to see where you're going.

All in all a solid indie game that is worth picking up on sales.
7.5/10

love it

My partner and I played it together thinking it would be a lovely story to share. Ended up being absolutely crushed at the end. 10/10

Really bad controls destroy any good experience in the game. A story is not that great to help me to finish the game. Leaving that torture - fix the controls. in addition, the game crashed 6 times in 5 hrs...

this really was a simple story that was nice, and also the gameplay was quite relaxing. i found this game after playing after us and while i still think i enjoyed that game a lot more, this one was a different type of platformer that revolved around time and it was dope. picking up the memories and finding them was satisfying, the art design is nice and the environments were nice to jump around on. i got this game for $2 and am very satisfied with what i got from it. as someone who never really enjoyed platformers until pretty recent time, this makes me continue to look for more relaxing ones that hit the spot and are different from typical action games sometimes. good job again to these devs, hoping for more great ones!!
