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.
