Europa review - ecological ruminations on a distant moon
Eurogamer's review of Europa, a deeply zen experience that's capable of delivering some hard-hitting messages.
Handily, these 'vista' moments also give you a chance to survey the area in front of you, allowing you to identify routes through the world towards golden glowing journal pages that reveal more of the story. Although some faster segments of Europa remind me of Jenova Chen's Flower, for the most part, the flight movement is closer to Spyro the Dragon: short bursts of energy that must be carefully managed in order to reach high towers and platforms. Many levels require you to dodge creatures' projectiles, and it's easy to become stunlocked by these when you're low on jetpack fuel: something that severely disrupts the flow of the game, and makes you feel like you're flopping around like a fish.
