Europa Is A Beautiful Adventure Game With Shades Of Studio Ghibli And Breath Of The Wild

Physical release on Switch & PS5, please.
It looks beautiful.

Probably one of the more promising title in the whole indie presentation. Looking forward to seeing more of it.

@StevenH there he is...

Don't like the main characters design, but the rest of it looked intriguing.

Looked real nice from the footage. Certainly one to keep my eyes on.

This was the Direct winner

I thought this looked like the Jak & Daxter sequel I always wanted. I know it really doesn’t but it may be close enough. I really wasn’t a fan of any of the sequels Jak & Daxter actually got so I just keep waiting for something similar.

No video in the article, what’s up with that?

This game and the cat one have me most curious. Good reviews and I’ll definitely get them.

Woah.looks really good. Possibly open world too? Definitely one to keep an eye on.

Fenyx and Lumine: "don't be in a hurry to read gamer responses to your announcement, though"😏

Zee: "Why?"🤔

@StevenH it's the predictable response when ghibli is mentioned. It's not a problem, just saying there's that response. Usually, people then call out how ubiquitous ghibli is, and how they know of a million more animes that more accurately parallel the aesthetic of the game in question. Because they're a man of culture etc.

This game looked awesome. My favourite from the Direct.

Easily the best game for me from the Direct, it looks stunning and there's a demo!! Will play this later

The YouTube comments were saying it looked a lot like Genshin Impact. I’m inclined to agree. But I have no problem with that. In fact, I quite like it, especially since Genshin Impact is one of my favorite games in the last few years. And terraforming Europa (a barren, icy moon of Jupiter) is an interesting concept. I may have to check this game out!

@StevenH I’m kind of with you. I like Ghibli for what it is, but I also am getting a little tired of people constantly comparing bright, atmospheric art styles like this to Ghibli, instead of letting it stand on its own merits.

@StevenH Yes I agree, NintendoLife overuses the Studio Ghibli comparison. But... The illustration alone really does exude strong Castle in the Sky vibes.

Nice and Beautiful game design. I hope they give us a Demo to try.....? Love the 3D world animation this is the type of game I like to just Explore and have fun in. Found the Demo finally it kept thinking it was the continent Europe ugh. Demo on it's way...will give it a look. Just wondering how long can one Demo games hours or chapters?

The floating islands, the dormant Nausicaan god warriors, the machinary juxtaposed against lush, serene, wilderness…
yeah, i’m getting heavy Ghibli vibes! I am a fan of Ghibli’s films.
I like gliding in games.
I’m interested in this title!
(Still haven’t played the demo!)

It looks beautiful but I didn't quite get what do you do besides gliding around beautiful scenarios. Like, if they showed things you had to collect or landscapes changing due to something you did, I'd be sold

Playing the demo now, is it me or does it look weirdly blurry?

@elpardo1984 Just finished playing it and it looks so blurry compared to the images in the presentation and in the trailer at the end (which also is a bit bugged out). Very weird indeed. The game itself was very fun. I'm intrigued to check it out on a different platform.

@FreasurePlanten I’m hoping there’s a bit of optimisation between now and launch. Demos are normally a few builds behind the current and there’s no set release date so could be it’s an early build.
Game looks lovely though otherwise.

Good design and lovely voiceover, but the gameplay is lacking. The movement is also quite painful in the demo.

Super Zelda Galaxy of the Wild

I tried the demo. Too boring for me. ☀️🦋😊

The demo for this realllly sucks. The movement and stuff are incredible, but it's just collecting a really poorly written story, and it was such a letdown. I recommend everyone try before buying.

My favorite part of the trailer was seeing the gorgeous environments, and waiting for the camera to pan around to see the wack-aff design they slapped the character with. Did my boy dirty. Like, BRUH, MOVE HIS EYES FARTHER APART or something. BLUD'S SINUSES ARE CLOGGED.

This feels for all the world like a thatgamecompany title. Wish they could bring Flower and Journey over, they were amazing.

@Poodlestargenerica its more likely moonlighter story lmao

Tried the demo and I thought it was really beautiful but unfortunately quite boring. There’s zero combat in the demo (but I kinda assumed that from the trailer). It looks open world but I don’t think it is from what I played. You just float around collecting things like emeralds and pages from a journal. Demo does not explain anything, you just walk and float around with peaceful music and beautiful visuals. I didn’t know where to go or why (maybe that’ll be explained in the full game?). More of a very light platformer but I wasn’t a fan of the controls. There’s a delay in your jumps…which is fine I guess when you’re not in the middle of a difficult platforming section.

All in all, not for me but I’m glad there was a demo available.

@FreasurePlanten You thought that was fun? It bored me to tears. The control feels floaty and imprecise (and laggy). It sure looks nice (nice main character animation too), but it is basically a walking simulator where you can glide (sometimes). That’s it. Everything shown in the trailer shows nothing new than what I experienced in the demo.

Unfortunately it’s a very hard pass for me now

@Antraxx777 "Walking simulators" can be fun for me. Sadly this one looks too blurry on Switch, taking away from what is its main attractive point: the art style and "atmosphere".
