Arise – A Simple Story

Post by ola small dickie »

"This emotionally symbolic examination of a lifetime of memories is elevated by its gorgeous visuals, challenging time-manipulation puzzles, and thought-provoking themes."

The Good:

Visuals, puzzles and level design all combine to tell a moving, dialogue-free story
Time manipulation is clever and proves incredibly versatile
Beautiful soundtrack
Continually introduces creative new mechanics to match the theme of a given level

The Bad:

Camera isn’t as intuitive as it could be
Keyboard controls can be frustrating
Portions of the central character’s life aren’t examined in much depth

Our Verdict:

Arise uses creative level design, gorgeous visuals and challenging environmental puzzles to explore the length and breadth of a full lifetime. A few presentation issues aside, it’s a moving, thought-provoking experience that tells a complete story with scarcely a word.
