Critic Reviews for Europa

A game all about gliding and exploring trips over its own feet.

Europa doesn't ask much of you, but left us asking lots of questions. The story feels half-baked, the controls are clunky, and we're still unclear on the objective. The beautiful backdrop is its best feature, and it's very relaxing to play in parts. It's hard to recommend this game because there's nothing it does terribly, but there's nothing it does terribly well either. Every element present here can be found elsewhere, and better – with no need to travel to a moon of Jupiter.

Europa is a gorgeous, transcendent mood piece that becomes an effective mindfulness exercise, an escape from reality.

Impressive efforts with a few noticeable problems holding them back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash. A gorgeous breath of fresh air that you can complete in one sitting. However, the enemies and the gameplay can get repetitive from time to time.

Europa is a relaxing, emotional journey through a snippet of human life on a terraformed moon. With easy to pick up mechanics and a short playtime, this is a must have for those looking to complete a game quickly.

Europa is a beautiful adventure, that combines simple puzzles with emotion-filled music and free-flowing traversal throughout a gorgeous landscape. It truly is a Journey like experience, I just wish it had leaned into that even more.

A lovely, beautifully crafted adventure, Europa feels like stepping into a piece of art. Its art direction is nothing short of magnificent, supported by an atmospheric soundtrack and fantastic voice acting. Flying through its gorgeous biomes is tactile and relaxing, and its short narrative compels you through its intriguing world. Despite a few frustrating mechanics interrupting its flow, Europa is a stunning little indie that'll delight gamers looking for a chilled-out few hours.

Europa is one of the bigger disappointments for me this year. It’s a game that’s nice to look at but a chore to play. Even at its very short runtime of around 3 hours, I got bored of the lack of mechanics and frustrated with the lackluster execution of them.
