It's a weird, psychedelic, unique and short (~3h) experience. IMHO, the official asking price is a bit on the high side for what it is, but I got it on sale, so I won't complain. The graphics are breathtaking at times, especially when flying through clouds, but now and then the landscape also looks like some generic generated sandbox world. While I understand that the bizarre control scheme is part of the experience, it kinda partially destroyed the fun for me and some levels were totally frustrating. The limited mouse looks adds to the feeling that the game doesn't let you do what you want to do and go where you want to go at times which can get extremely annoying. Anyway, whoever sees all the images of that "flying saucer" must be aware, that this is more a game about rolling and gliding than one about flying - at least in a good part of the levels. And rolling/gliding can get frustrating on a water world or planets with weird gravity where you can't glide most of the time and can't even roll in the direction you want to go. Like there is an opening in a pyramid but you just can't get there and after being tossed around by erratic gravity you don't even know anymore where that pyramid even was. Totally frustrating. Similarly, you're being told that en energy source is up in the atmosphere, but you are rolling around on the ground and have no idea how to propel yourself into the atmosphere, let alone how to find that energy source there. Some of the games' unexplained rules also seem to be awfully random, e.g. that flying through clouds accelerates you and lifts you up. Admittedly, I was kinda relieved when it was over and doubt that I will replay it anytime soon or to get more achievements. I still appreciate the experience and the developer's courage to do something that is so different from other games and still not totally shallow. But a bit less clunky controls and less restricting of the players movements and view would have made this a more enjoyable experience.
In Exo One, you control an alien craft (built by humans), but it's closer to a rolling ball/flying glider simulator with no enemies. Emphasis is on exploring different planets and covering distance through the forces of gravity and momentum as your ship doesn't use fuel. You constantly alternate between making your ship heavier (4 times Earth's gravity) and lighter (Moon's gravity) to go faster. Later on, you can change the shape of the ship and glide, which is more fun than rolling and jumping, but you can't glide all the time. The controls are not initially intuitive, there's a learning curve and I'm still not sure how to keep max speed, but they're fairly simple with only three buttons used plus the analog sticks. The movements feel smooth and responsive, but the default turning is too slow. The graphics are gorgeous, especially on the ocean planet where it's some of the best-looking water I've seen. I especially liked how you could "skip" your craft on water like a small stone. A few of the later planets, including the forest one, do not seem as good looking or graphically advanced. I wish they weren't often so empty and lacking in unique features. The story interludes are initially intriguing but they're few and far between with no narration during the levels, so you lose track a bit and become less invested. What's best is how the game makes you feel during exploration as you cover distances. It made me think a bit of the game Journey. I hated one of the last levels, Sojournous, where you lost total control except for gravity. Feels a bit expensive at normal price so get on sale if you're interested.
