Critic Reviews for Solar Ash
Despite its strengths, Solar Ash fails to skate free from the gravity of its influences.
This glorious game about movement and adventure also feels like a rumination on something deeper and more personal.
Solar Ash is repetitive and short, but that doesn't take away from how fun the core gameplay is. The developers have nailed Solar Ash's traversal system, making it genuinely fun to explore and complete the various platforming challenges. The art style is striking, the bosses are impressive, and while it may not have the same lasting impact Hyper Light Drifter did, Solar Ash is still worth checking out for fans of Heart Machine's work and the 3D platformer genre in general.
Solar Ash may not get everything right, but its kinetic platforming and incredibly stylish presentation make its world a lot of fun to explore.
Solar Ash is a platforming playground that never loses steam, and it hides a memorable story of unfathomable tragedy.
Solar Ash plays as well as it looks with a strong story at the heart
Solar Ash is an exhilarating action-adventure game with strong puzzles and flashy boss fights.
It's not far from being a bit special, the kind of indie gem that everyone has to play, but it's unfortunately just not quite there.
