Climbing is the name of this game, just not literally.
The title of this game is actually the French word for a receding tide. We know this because Don't Nod (the game's developer) was kind enough to inform us at the very start of this puzzle platformer. With little more than that nugget of knowledge in hand, the Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button has shoved our hosts off to see just how far up they can climb in the allotted hour. With gameplay mechanics focused on vertical traversal and a plot centered on a silent protagonist, the story is told through scattered notes and animated cut scenes that punctuate key moments in the ascent. Tom and Chris have certainly played plenty of games with climbing mechanics, but this is the first one where that aspect takes center stage. Will that design decision play out as a satisfying game loop or will the focused experience prove shallow? Join our hosts as they decide if they will keep playing now that the required time is up.
