Even if I tried hard not to recommend this game, I don't think I would find them. Jusant is an ideal game to relax, have fun and enjoy a really pleasant and fun experience that manages to hook and captivate you from the first moment.

Though Jusant gets a bit fanciful in its last level, abandoning its natural elements for an astronomical excursion, the rapturous feeling of climbing the seemingly unclimbable continues to drive the game forward. This is where Jusant’s deliberate, precise mechanics are so vital, as the more responsive the controls, the more responsible players are for each outcome. Nothing is impossible, the game suggests. You just have to take it one step at a time.

Jusant's creative take on climbing and a minimalistic approach to storytelling make it one of the boldest titles from Don't Nod so far.

Jusant's melancholic world may be built on the absence of life but through its methodically refined climbing mechanics and richly rewarding thematic work, it carves a path that rarely ever leaves you looking down.

A beautiful world of exhilarating gameplay that wants no more than to burst out with originality and excitement, which is marred by a want to rush to empty platitudes without thinking of the ripple effect it has on everything else.

When Jusant works as intended, it’s a calming, peaceful experience that’s occasionally let down by some somewhat underwhelming functionality.

Jusant is one of those titles to be played at your own pace, while enjoying its landscapes and enjoying every moment of its characters' journey. More than a game of climbing, Jusant is a work of friendship and awareness, set through an adventure through a desolate world full of stories to tell.

Justant is where ideas looks good on paper, but when it comes to execution, they somewhat disappoint. It has some sporadic interesting moments but those aside, Jusant is struggling with many issues regarding level design and platforming mechanisms.

Jusant is a bit hard to be included in a genre, but truth to be told it does not really need to. It is a breath of fresh air, an artistic production that is not scared to break away from the norm and the standard to walk its own path.
