Great game with frustrating checkpoints

I love this game and recommend you buy it if the puzzle/adventure gameplay appeals to you. I loved the puzzles, world, and design. The graphics are a little simple if that bothers you (it didn't bother me). The game keeps throwing new interesting challenges at you throughout, and it was great. However, you WILL get annoyed while playing at a few parts because of the game's checkpoint system. It often takes you back a little too far, nullifying a bit of progress, unnecessarily so. Nothing major, but just enough to annoy you. If the devs can fix this, it's a very solid game.

Beautiful game but with technical issues

This game strikes a really solid atmosphere that almost had me at tears at points. Much like 'Heart of Darkness' or 'Abe's Odessey' it is a lethal, gory platformer. Unlike those games though, The Way is also embraces a very serious stillness. Nothing is meant to be evil or out to get you, things simply exist. Many compare the game to 'Another World', but I would rather compare it to a slightly more mature version of the movie 'Up'. Where the game falters though is with its implementation. It was sheer luck that I did not lock the game twice; as dying in the middle of certain actions will re-spawn objects in weird ways. The gamepad support also ranges from 'acceptable' to 'downright infuriating'. Save yourself a headache and use a mouse for certain sections; you'll know which. Puzzles are a mixed bag. There's variety and challenge, but a few of them clearly wear out their welcome.

Sublime, but has problems on macOS

I'm a few levels in so I think it's fair to review it at this point. The GFX, music, atmosphere and controls are so good. I'm completely immersed in this game. The macOS build has serious problems. It's the first application I've used in years that captures the system keys so I can't ALT+TAB to another application. I can't even change the volume or do anything with the keyboard other than play the game. Thís is particularly problematic when the game hangs - which it does often, usually around the scripted scenes. So I have to pull the plug on my computer. TLDR: a perfect game marred only by the macOS build. Very fixable so please do it!

Creative, challegeing

I like this game. I find some of the things a bit tedious. I like the play over all, just wish there was a little more wiggle room.

A Mature Game

Out of this World has exciting new things happening all the time. It has puzzles and platforming that are driven by a story. Achieving those puzzles moves you through the story. The Way has many challenging puzzles that were consistently difficult for me, and many frustrating platforming puzzles. You solve these puzzles to make lights light up and platforms move, and, maybe, if you've lit up enough lights and moved enough platforms in enough puzzle rooms, and finally to maybe trigger some plot event. There's not a lot of dialogue, thankfully, but there's little enough that I find it disappointing that it wasn't ditched altogether. Out of this World is a Cinematic Experience, in that its goals are to have many flashy, unique events and bespoke puzzles to suit them. The Way is a Mature Game. in that it comes from many years of the gaming industry figuring out how many puzzles dungeons in a row can be satisfying before adding a new mechanic. Also there's a story. The Way is definitely INSPIRED by Out of this World, but comparing them feels off. Because The Way has much more content in between story events, and the story events have dialogue, The Way feels much slower and less impactful than Out of this World. WIth all the things they have in common, it makes playing The Way feel like you are reading a novelization of Out of this World. Less immediate, less of an experience. No rawness. Not that The Way is bad! I enjoy playing it, except for the SUPER GARBAGE platforming stuff. Which is accurate to its inspiration and all the incredibly BS repetitive parts in that old game. Dying and repeating constantly the same stupid monster battle was boring then and it's boring now. But the puzzles are difficult in a good way, and the art is a melancholy mood rendered in crunchy-slick pixels. So it's a cool game. Just a weird experience. Don't expect an Out of this World descendant. Expect a solid puzzle platformer made in the shape of an Out of this World member berry tree.
