Shape of the World is a nice adventure game with some original colored graphics and a cozy ambiant. I recommend it!!! 💗💗💗

Sept. 2024

The game accomplishes what it sets out to do very well. You should know what you're getting into since this is a walking sim. That said, I really liked the exploration aspect, and the sense of serenity and wonder it was able to instil. The sights and sounds match and go beyond the expectations set by the trailer. Recommended if you want a short escape without much gameplay. It goes on sale for pretty cheap.

A really unique experience, I enjoy the concept of being able to chain clicks on trees to keep in the air and move quickly, could easily be a mechanic in some sort of PvE game.

March 2024

I'd suggest to follow the description of this game. It simply is what it is: a linear exploration game with interesting visuals. I would approach it almost as if it is an interactive museum of some sort, rather than an articulate game. It is really short. I have an hour and a half on record, but it potentially can be shorter. If it's on discount, I'd suggest you to try it, as it is visually appealing... even though there could have been more particular animals, which weren't as good as the world's design (at least for me).

Jan. 2024

Shape of the World is like passing through a psychedelic dream. At some points playful, at others ominous, just move through the experience without trying to make sense of it. Combining a unique visual style and complementary soundtrack, Shape of the World provides a novel, if short palette cleanser between more conventional games.
