ARY AND THE SECRET OF SEASONS REVIEW SERIES

If the whole game were a series of linear led temples, designed with puzzles to solve, fully showing off the mechanics of the gameplay, then the whole thing would benefit greatly. You’ll have to actually use your brain in an interesting way, and it is here where Ary reminds a bit of Zelda. These areas are clever and provide a welcome break from the open-world wandering and combat. These are normally in places where you may need to move blocks around, activate switches and climb platforms to unlock some treasure or find a story-based item. It is all quite basic if I’m honest, but it works well enough to set the scene and allow for progression.īy far, the best part of Ary and the Secret of Seasons is found in using these powers – that and the puzzles you have to solve throughout the game. From there, you’ll partake in a bit of basic adventuring, and some simple combat, mostly utilising attacks, rolls and a counter move. You venture out into the world and have a minimap with arrows to point you in the right direction. The game is set in the third person – open-world with main mission quests and side quests galore. But let us talk a little about the gameplay. The writing is fun and the cutscenes are all good value for money. What then plays out is an open-world adventure with a good story that the younger gamers and parents will enjoy. She first has to seek the guidance of the Guardians of Seasons, an ancient organization that harnesses the power of the seasons for you to control and use.

When her brother goes missing on an adventure, her father goes into a deep depression and it’s up to Ary to go out into the world, all in order to find out what has happened to him. The story follows the main character of Ary, a little girl living in this Disney-like world of Valdi. I was lucky enough to see a preview of the game in action back in 2019, and have been eager to play the game in its finished state. Ary and the Secret of Seasons is an action-adventure game aimed at a younger audience, all created by those at eXiin and Fishing Cactus.
