2.5/5 ★ – Solgux's review of AWAY: The Survival Series.

A lovely set of ideas held back by technical shortcomings! I adored this game as a concept. Adored the idea of playing a sugar glider in a pseudo nature documentary puzzling my way through the world. I thought the platforming was fun. The fights are tedious and repetitive with boss monsters, the camera actively fights you every chance it gets, physics launches you into space at random times, and the scripted AI of creatures in stealth sections is buggy. And once the game crashes and I lost like 10 minutes of progress despite dropping a manual save that I guess… didn’t stick? I got 85% done and finally the pain points culminated in the Wolf stealth area. I called it quits. I’d love to see this idea done again in a more stable format.
