Justant is a testament to letting environments speak for themselves instead of relying on dialogue. Don’t Nod trusts its ability as developers to create a game that relies on experience, not words and it trusts its players to understand narrative subtleties. Jusant may be simple, but its layered vision of a world is timeless.
Climbing to the peak in Jusant may sound like a boring gameplay loop, but for those looking for a meditative and genuinely enjoyable experience, it's anything but.
JUSTANT is the latest game from DON’T NOD (Life is Strange) that is their highly anticipated action-puzzle climbing game that is available on the Xbox Series
Jusant’s melancholic world may be built on the absence of life but through its methodically refined climbing mechanics and richly rewarding thematic work, it carves a path that rarely ever leaves you looking down.
I’ve always been terribly afraid of heights. Rollercoasters, cliffsides, even Ferris wheels… you’ll struggle to get me near the things, with the fear largely stemming from loss of control. Consider my surprise then when the rock climbing game Jusant, which has players hundreds of meters in the air scaling a giant mountain, has me feeling hooked, safe and capable. Sure, there’s a difference between the real world and this instance of polygons, ones and zeroes. Still, it’s impressive ...
Jusant is an absolute gem that rewards you for slowing down, taking stock, and exploring its breathtakingly designed world.
Beautiful visuals, engaging gameplay, and detailed worldbuilding easily make Jusant one of the most unique experiences of the year.
Jusant is a gorgeous and relaxing puzzler with well-design climbing mechanics that evolve over the course of a very tight five-hour runtime.
A gorgeous fantasy journey enlivened by some thrilling rock-climbing.
Jusant: “An ebb, or low tide.” The world of Jusant is a world-event apocalyptic one. With no rain and its oceans now dried out, you and your pet-like companion journey the expansive seabed, passing forgotten wreckages on your approach to a literal cliffside fishing village. Jusant is very much, for better or for worse, a walking sim in every sense of the word. Well, a climbing sim, as you stare up and your journey now goes from horizontal, to being a vertical one.
For as satisfying as Jusant’s core gameplay loop can be, its narrative and important message becomes lost in the background of a world's history which I otherwise wanted to be entranced by, beyond just its striking visuals.
A beautiful world of exhilarating gameplay that wants no more than to burst out with originality and excitement, which is marred by a want to rush to empty platitudes without thinking of the ripple effect it has on everything else.
