Downward: Enhanced Edition
Critic Reviews for Downward: Enhanced Edition
Overall, for a budget game (and one that seems before the enhanced edition was constantly on sale for less the $4), the game’s main gameplay mechanics as well as it’s graphics are more than I was expecting. However, I wish the developers spent more time on the story behind the game, as It feels like a puzzle missing a piece, and impossible to put the story together. With the lack of story, the game can also feel very repetitive. While affordable, I probably wouldn’t recommend the game even at its low price point, which is sad as I think with a better story this game could be really amazing.
A game full of technical problems, poor guidance, and confusing levels that, against all expectations, manages to be fun in short doses.

Downward: Enhanced Edition is a solid and fun first-person platformer that stands out in the genre for its fantasy setting, offering varied scenarios from exotic zones to icy or fiery expanses. It's a pity about some small physics issues that get the character stuck in unlikely places, the lack of real combat, and a soporific and inconclusive plot that doesn't do justice to Caracal Games' creation.
