Apr 05, 2019 The dialogue and combat shortcomings ultimately make up a small portion of Supraland’s total experience. Exploring, tracking down upgrades, and solving the puzzles are where the game flexes its creativity and fun, and it leans on those strong elements with most of its weight to create a consistently compelling experience. Apr 10, 2019 The typical open world game today always has a map and it leads a) to you playing the map more than the game, b) you stop looking really closely at the world which is actually at the center of the fun of the game. Too much comfort can reduce the fun significantly even if you don't expect it.
Just an incredibly beautiful and fun game. It's game-play, levels, puzzles and game-feel is leaps and bounds beyond even some triple A productions. It has become my new standard to which I will hold indie titles and all other games for that matter.

This is a wonderful game that is suitable for just about every type of gamer.

I tried the demo a few months ago and didn't really give it a chance, but I decided to try it again now that's it's been officially released, and this is one of those games that gives me hope for the future of computer gaming. In Supraland, you basically run around in a colorful, minimalist world, trying to solve puzzles. You gain access to new areas as you purchase powers and find upgrades.
You'll gain a double, then a triple jump that allows you to access previously unexplored areas higher up. Every nook and cranny offers surprises, and exploration of the environment definitely pays off. The combat is pretty basic and really sort of frustrating early on, but your sword gets upgrades helping to fend off enemies more easily, and eventually you find a gun, which also benefits from upgrades, making it more and more powerful. Combat definitely becomes more fun as you go. Starting off, the introductory area you explore is small, sufficient to get you used to the game mechanics, but around the 2 hour mark it REALLY starts to open up and eventually gets very expansive.
There's lots of Portal, some first person shooter, among other influences. I'm at around the 10 hour mark, and the puzzles have become very challenging, not impossible, giving great satisfaction when a solution is discovered. All the while the game will dangle the mystery of unexplored areas that you can see, but can't get to yet. There's lots of jumping around and battling enemies, but the focus on the game is on the puzzles.
Movement from area to area is helped with portals for fast travel that you discover as you go. Revisiting earlier areas with new powers, allows you to find more upgrades and secrets. I'm not particularly good at jumping/platform type games, but I never found this title overly difficult or frustrating. Supraland oozes creativity and is one of the best indie games I've every played. It's available on Steam, but you can also buy it directly from the developer website. Also, Steam has a demo, and that same demo is also available to download from the game's website.
This one is special, folks. Highly recommended.
How can I begin to describe this fantastic hidden treasure? Supraland has brought back my childhood sense of wonder. I wanted to explore every nook of this game, and it wasn't just a tedious combing of the land either. Every treasure, great or small had some element of a puzzle to it.

There is only one puzzle game on the level of quality that I could compare this to and that would be Portal, but this. This is not Portal. This is something new, and colorful.
I love the light-hearted yet still mature fun that I can reap from this game. The challenges are balanced, the glitches are very few, and the journey is worth every cent (and more!) This review is coming from an old-schooler who has high standards for games.
