Demo version of The Pedestrian is available here
"I can see the signs in my sleep now, always guiding me closer. Will this really work? Have we almost achieved the impossible?”
I finished playing through The Pedestrian on my PS5 a while ago. Although I already owned it on GOG I wanted to play the game with a controller and that would be my only gripe with this release - the controller support was lacking when I tried it. I thoroughly enjoyed it otherwise - pretty visuals, awesome jazzy soundtrack and fairly challenging puzzles. Give it a go and don't forget to pick up the OST!
A good platformer with a dash of reflexion. The LD is very good, but unfortunately, each mechanics haven't been pushed has much as they could have, so we end up with game leaving us a strong taste of "how come there is so few levels for this new mechanic?". (-1 star)
I also have the feeling this game could have benefitted the classical "challenge modes" for replayability, with levels to be completed using a little re/connection or little jump as possible, or also a time attack.
Additionally, despite being difficult to implement, a level editor could have been bundled to extend this title to it's maximum lifespan. (-1 star)
I also noticed it wasn't possible to jump back to a certain chapter of the game to find secrets.
Apart from that, I believe a lot of efforts have been spent on the surroundings, to dress the different locations of the panels, which might explain why this game is fairly short.
I found the soundtrack and the audio very well crafted.
I cannot criticize this game on the form.
To conclude, I do not regret bying this title, just be aware that a visible part of the budget will be invested in the settings/surroundings rather than the core game itself.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
