Player vs Enemies

Team with Game Allies

The game is set on a planet under siege by old machines and unfamiliar creatures. It used to be a place of undisturbed balance between humans, nature and animals but has now fallen into disharmony. Play involves running, jumping and exploring the world to progress through each area, but this is more like Limbo than Mario and soon evolves into a cinematic puzzle adventure.

The exploration draws on games like Ico as you travel with a long-term companion who helps you along the way. In turn, you must keep them safe as you face some violent and challenging enemies. Along with the battles are brain-teasing puzzles and periods of calm reflection.

Good to know

Insights to ensure your child's gaming experience remains safe and enjoyable

Review difficulty level

Some children might feel frustrated with different game levels or obstacles. Talk to them about recognising when it's time to take a break and turn their attention somewhere else. Often, when they come back relaxed, they're more likely to find success.

Master skills together

Some platform games require a lot of skill and combination movements, which can be frustrating to master. For younger players, set time aside to help them learn and practise the skills.

Build resilience

Platform games can promote perseverance. Encourage children to "try, try again" until they succeed while taking regular breaks.

Skill level

Suggested by Family Gaming Database

You need to be able to quickly respond to events in the game, and persevere in the puzzle elements if you get stuck. It's a linear game but still requires some resilience to get to the end.
