SEASON: A letter to the future Reviews
Season is a phenomenal work, not just the classic little pearl, but an all-round videogame experience capable of exciting, telling, immersing us in the last moments of a reality that could end, change, change. A mechanism of memorization and movement within towns, villages and glimpses of nature of disarming beauty.

While the voice acting is a little below par, the writing is superb, crafting meaningful, emotional moments seemingly at will, while walking a delicate tonal line between sadness and catharsis. What you're left with is a fascinating, emotionally powerful experience not soon to leave you.
Season: A Letter to the Future might not last long, but it's a lovely experience for anyone who enjoys taking their time, piecing together lore, and photographing everything they see.
Season: A Letter to the Future is a delightful snapshot of a world on the precipice of a devastating event. Due to this, there is a somber atmosphere that resides throughout your trip. Recording scenarios through your camera, audio device, and journal builds further understanding of the narrative; however, these three components don’t evolve which makes the gameplay quite repetitive. Although each encounter is distinct and their story is well told, the conclusion stumbles. Despite that, fans of narrative-driven titles should hitch a ride on this unique trip.
As it turned out Season: A Letter to the Future was nothing more than just another forgettable indie title. Even if gorgeous trailers made you think otherwise.

SEASON: a letter to the future is an unforgettable road trip adventure that invites players to soak in its serene world.
Season A Letter to the Future is the PS5 gem of the beginning of this year. The atmospheric game captivates from the very first seconds thanks to its poetry and melancholy. A splendid and magnetic game as much on the visual level as the writing of its dreamlike universe. An artistic spectacle as sublime as its narrative premise that remains intriguing during the few hours needed to complete it.

Beautifully melancholic bike tour that tells us a poetic story, but remains playfully somewhat one-dimensional.

SEASON is a poetic, meditative game, but it often bluntly calls too much attention to its intentions, especially with fussy dialogue like “I feel a dulcet tension in the air.” Then again, it does capture the soothing sensation that comes from immersing oneself in another world and learning about it, and with the exception of the game’s final encounter, it’s nothing if not consistent. In the end, SEASON isn’t about answers so much as it is about coping with loss. As one character puts it, repeating one word like a mantra, time always moves on: flow, flow, flow.
An immersive scrapbooking journey to record the ending of a season and the dawning of the next one.
SEASON: A letter to the future is the perfect example of art that could only exist within the confines of a video game, using player agency to convey its themes in ways that at times feel genuinely enlightening. It's a game that only gives as much as you deem to take, and only asks as much as you have to give. An instant classic.
SEASON: A letter to the future is an adventure game with a moving message at its core.
Season's artstyle and gameplay are unique and fun, but because of its forgettable narrative and generic premise, it feels like yet another game that exists solely to win awards from Geoff Keighley.
Few games hold the distinction of both making you want to delve further into their world, while also compelling you to step outside into our own. With Season, you can get lost in the animators' artistic work for myriad hours, but the overwhelming experience of this game will inspire you to savor our world, too.
SEASON: A Letter to the Future is a great game with many promising elements to its relaxing gameplay, and while some inconveniences can get in the way, it's an experience worth seeing through to the end.
Season: A Letter to the Future is a unique narrative experience, reminding us how precious every single moment of life is as we face a season on the verge of its end.

Don't hesitate to hop on the (mostly) stress-free bike ride that SEASON: A letter to the future delivers!
There’s something special about the power that Season: A Letter to the Future gives to the player; the freedom you have to explore, to document, to see and do exactly as you wish. Free of threat and any real time pressure, you’ll simply become absorbed, seeing everything for the first time just as your protagonist is. For the action-oriented amongst you, that might sound a little dull. But we can’t overstate just how wonderful it feels to play something like this, a game that really doesn’t mind what you do or how you do it, as long as you’re doing… something. It’s freeing, wholesome, relaxing but evocative. And we wish it didn’t have to end. Let us explore more corners of this enchanting, mysterious world, please.
The proposal is very interesting and will remain in the memory of anyone who allows it. It does a lot with little and shows that in the industry there is room for more intimate titles that focus on establishing a world and giving a message before creating a fun experience, with the good and bad that implies. Without a doubt, an experience to remember.
