    Since I already enjoy Journey-like games, it wasn’t hard for me to have a good time with this one. The reference material is so special that usually only a few aspects manage to carry over. This time, I was glad to find joy in many of them — but at the same time, I have to admit it felt a bit too similar. In that sense, I can’t say the game has fully found its own voice.
