A strange signal... an alien craft... an interplanetary, gravity-defying journey through space and time. On the anniversary of the Jupiter disaster, an alien signal transmits construction blueprints for an alien craft, which humanity builds, called Exo One. Master a truly alien traversal system and move through enigmatic and desolate alien landscapes in ways you've never experienced. Control gravity itself and build momentum to reach colossal speeds and exhilarating heights. Ride thermal updrafts into boiling cloud formations, careen down hillsides and launch off mountain tops, all the time drifting toward the shining blue beam on the horizon. Atmospheric, diffused visuals are merged with otherworldly sound effects and a hypnotic electric guitar soundtrack. Pilot your craft on mankind's first voyage outside the solar system, and go on an interplanetary journey across space and time.
I’m not sure how to proceed with this one…..bear with me and please hear me out. Exo One is a game I really liked but cannot recommend to you. You need to be of a certain ilk to get into this one and I really suggest watching a few bits of a playthrough and reading reviews on both sides of the fence. I am giving Exo One the thumbs up because it definitely does not deserve a thumbs down. But this is not a thumbs up in the way that if you like a certain kind of game then you will enjoy this. More like I liked it, everyone else on here seems to be going gaga for it but I can’t help but feel a lot of the reviews here are part of the Kickstarter crowd or were at least following it. I honestly expected a Mixed or Positive average on Steam. Not an Overwhelmingly Positive for sure. THE PROS
The game is great but lacks some additional game modes. You cannot choose "maps" after finishing the game, so the only option is to play everything again. I hope these additions come shortly.
So....do I recommend this game? It's fun, and I like the vagaries. It reminds me of the kind of "game" you'd play as a kid, putting your hand out the window and feeling the wind flow over and under it. It's enjoyable, and relaxing. But it is not worth $15. There simply isn't enough gameplay. If there were some kind of endless mode with randomly generated worlds, that would be something. But I finished the game in 3.5 hours, and there really isn't any reason to play again. even the remaining achievements are "go high on this world" or "go fast close to the ground on this world". Nothing else to find, or to see. There's not even any reason to "explore" the worlds that I could find. At any rate, I'm glad I played it, but wish it had been cheaper.
