A land of discovery stretches out before you. Explore the beautiful yet rugged world of RiME, a single-player puzzle adventure. In RiME, you play as a young boy who has awakened on a mysterious island after a torrential storm. You see wild animals, long-forgotten ruins, and a massive tower that beckons you to come closer. Armed with your wits and a will to overcome—and the guidance of a helpful fox—you must explore the enigmatic island, reach the tower's peak, and unlock its closely guarded secrets. Features Explore – Discover the mysterious island at your own pace. Interact with wildlife, search for hidden items or simply take in the sights and sounds. Solve Puzzles – Make your way through the ancient ruins and their hidden marvels by solving puzzles with sound, light and shadow projection, perspective, platforming, and even time manipulation. Find Secrets – Dive deeper into the boy’s backstory by uncovering dozens of secrets and collectibles. Be Enchanted – Take in a beautiful world inspired by the wonders of the Mediterranean through a fusion of captivating music and color.
This game is just as beautiful as it looks in the screenshots, but is badly misrepresented on the store page. It's not about free exploration at all, it's an extremely linear series of puzzles, platforming, and scripted action sequences. The most choice you have is in a few parts where you get to choose the order you tackle individual sets of up to four areas. I think what it does, it does quite well, but the game is very far from what it bills itself as, and I for one was certainly disappointed.
I like this game. It's like ABZU but with puzzle elements, so if you are into puzzle like me, I could reccomend it. However, when it only takes 5 hours to beat WITH exploring and smelling the roses, I cannot reccomend it for 40$. I adored the game's setting, and I liked the speculation-orientated story, however, I felt as if I didn't care for the characters as much as the game wanted me to. If it goes on sale for around 20$, pick it up. (Addition: I feel like some mechanics didn't get as fleshed out as they should have been. They end up just feeling like one/two-time gimmicks, like that day/night cycle affecting ball.)
