Jusant is the newest game by Life is Strange developer Don't Nod. Available for Playstation 5, Xbox and PC, Jusant is all about climbing.

Personally I'm only a few hours in, and the game supposedly isn't that long. But so far I've really enjoyed my time with it.

It's free on PC/Xbox Gamepass so that's how I was able to play it.
So far it's a very chill game about climbing, not sure what the premise of the story is really.

The climbing mechanics are really easy, you use the triggers as your hands. So LT is the left hand and RT the right.
Combine those with some nice jumps and off you go!

I wanted to make an OT since this game could easily be overlooked, but so far it's def worth a playthrough!

I love the game so far. On chapter 3. One of my favorite this year, and one of my favorite vertical exploration / platformers I've ever played.

Ico + The Climb. My only complaint is that I just want more of it and don't want it to end. I'll definitely be buying this, and I'm considering their visual novel too (Harmony). Releasing two games this year for $25 each is pretty awesome. Really liking their approach this year.

Does the game use the haptics of the Dualsense controller on PS5? Or maybe even on PC when using the Dualsense controller?

Please explain to me how can I get Gamepass for free.

95% review score on Steam so far, great start.

You make a YT channel that has a bunch of views, then ask for a PC Gamepass key through Keymailer.
I got a three month PC Gamepass code from them

Tadaa :)

Yea I like climbing (in games) Ya got a problem with that? Well do ya punk?

I got to play about an hour last night before bed. I want to say it's a chill game but I was finger fumbling with the triggers and sticks.
It actually has some mechanics required to advance. It's not a simple push in the direction you want to go.
I like the visuals. I'm going to put down Alan Wake 2 for a few days to see how far I can get up this climb.

That's what I was curious about. The mechanics part. Your post kinda sells it for me. I love games about traversal itself so reading it isn't just "push forward for emotions and cinematics" is nice.

Wishlisted. Might play this after Stasis Bone Totem.

You have to set all your own hooks in the wall as well. It doesn't exactly broadcast the way to go at all times either.

I wouldn't say it's difficult but the whole game is just showing off the climbing mechanics.

Death Stranding was one of my games of the gen, loved just...hiking and delivering shit. This looks cool.

So far this is a chill experience, that I'm enjoying. Also digging the colorful art style.

I'm also curious how this compares to Only Up, which had a load of Twitch viewers, but wound up getting pulled off the market?

My only knocks so far in the early goings…

- I hate main characters that can't jump for shit. What a wimp.

- I'm not getting that sense of being up at a high elevation where I'm afraid of falling. Something Crackdown conveyed so well.

Got to chapter 3, generally thought it was gunna be climbing like in zelda and ac, way more complex then that, best surprise game since that tango rush game or whatever its called
 
When I first booted up the game (PC) it had me calibrate brightness using a test pattern. I was adjusting my cables and accidentally exited that screen. I don't see anyway to get back to that screen. Any ideas?

PS: I said this in the other thread, but this game is wonderful.

I just realized that yesterday as well. All these years...
 
Ive only played the first chapter, but it was brilliant. Love the climbing mechanic on the triggers. Great artwork and design.

Only up is an asset flip game where you climb random shit, and it can be as annoying as getting over it.

This is more a chill climber tbh
 
This game is a stone cold masterpiece. They finally give you a tiny taste of a difficult climb and its one of the best things Ive ever played. Blown away.
 
I had this to say about it:

Just beat it. Wow what an amazing, beautiful game. Definitely one of my favorites of the year. Never would have thought Don't Nod would make a game I'd really enjoy.

Artstyle is insane, gameplay is fun and exploration was good. Great music, kind of reminded me of Returnal sometimes? Had a couple problems with controls/character getting stuck for a second but that was about. Very polished and just a solid, tight experience.

I clocked 3 hours 21 minutes, so a bit on the short side but damn it was good the whole way through. Last time I enjoyed every second of a game was probably INSIDE and that was only 2 hours long.

They definitely leave it vague for you to figure out. And you have to combine available techniques.

I couldn't even see a ledge I couldn't reach. It was a little alcove with two buildings outside on scaffolding. I even came back to on another session. Now that the full game is out and there will be guides I'll probably check it out. I liked it.

I can see lots of parts that might be possible. I agree. Totally worth it to look up a brief hint and keep going.
 
Chapter 4 done. Game is insane. The best western 3D platformer since Sands of Time. Probably the most verticality of any game I can think of.

Played up till chapter 2. I like it but the controls yeah, once your used to them its fine I guess. This is the first UE5 game I think looks great, on console atleast.
 
And finished, I enjoyed it. Might gonna get all the achievemenst. Hope they make more original games like this instead of LiS part 10.
 
Finished it in the morning. Reminded me of Rime a bit, but more enjoyable.
Really liked it. Solid mechanics, clean presentation. Music and sound design are really good aswell. Feels good to play through these small, peaceful games, no fighting, no action, just serene, atmospheric gameplay, a couple of nice little sessions...and done :messenger_peace:
 
Me and my 2.7 yearsold son started playing it today (because he pointed at the game in Gamepass and said "play that") and we loved it (and especially because of the orange crabs..).
 
Seems like another Gamepass gem. This is the type of thing I want the most from a service, small, different games. Not that it was a problem not spending 70 bucks on Starfield.
 
I thought all Unreal Engine 5 games are gonna look the same when using Lumen and Nanite?





People are so retarded.
