Downward: Enhanced Edition Review (Bran - The Impaler)
This was the first game I decided to play after my father passed away. Honestly, I don't know what I was looking for... a distraction for my pain, maybe... leisure, perhaps?... or a sheer attempt to carry on with my regular life, and that includes keeping my gaming habit to bring me a smile or two.
When I saw Downward in my Steam Library, I knew I had it for quite some time, among many others I couldn't find the right timing to sit down and play.
Again, I don't know what I was looking for. I needed to have the sensation of flying, jumping, as if was trying to reach the sky or something. I needed to have a sample of what heaven was like, unlike the types of games I usually play.
Well, getting down to business, Downward is a short entertaining game with fantasy and exploration aspects, but the main feature is the parkour. You boost for high jumps, touch the sky, fall, rebound, hook up, and all the rest. I mean, if you played and liked "A Story About My Uncle" this would be another nice option for you. I recommend this game, all in a nutshell. It brought me a bit of peace at least.
