Incredible. A true testament to the power of storytelling in the video game medium. The game can also boast to being home to a fun and unique time manipulation mechanic that is executed brilliantly. Highly recommend.

I cried for 30 minutes after finishing this game, then I had existential crisis about life and death later on that night while trying to sleep and cried again. I am not even joking. 10/10

Arise: A Truly Emotional Story Rating: 8/10 Easily, one of the BEST EMOTIONAL GAME I have ever played! If you love the story of games like Days Gone or Before Your Eyes, man this is The Game for you. It's about Love, Life, & Death that we all are going to experience one day. Its a really simple 4 hrs story but the narration is so fantastic with its music and visuals, you are gonna spend more time feeling the emotions than actually playing the game. If you love platformer games, this is a 10/10 for you, ignore my rating. I am listening to its theme music as I write the review and feel the emotions. Thanks for including it free. One reviewer said it true - "Ironic, this game is called Arise yet you’re always falling."
