GSY Video PS5 Xbox Series X PC PS4 Xbox One Switch

Strayed Lights is coming out today and if you are wondering what this game is all about, we have prepared a presentation video of Embers' title. It should take you about five hours to complete it so it's not a long game by any means. That said, it's probably for the best as its core gameplay does not evolve much in the course of the adventure. It is a parry-based kind of game that takes us in a beautiful and mysterious world and it works well overall and we don't think making it longer would have benefited it. The game will cost $24.99 USD, which is rather honest for what it has to offer, but we still wonder whether or not it has a chance to attract people's attention on the very same week a certain Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is being released. We recorded this new GSY Offline video in English so let us know if it as worth the trouble or if you prefer raw gameplay footage in the future.

Strayed Lights is an action-aventure game developed by French studio Embers from Strasbourg. Not only is its game world mysteriously intriguing, but it's also quite beautiful visually. The game relies on a color switching mechanic that is a bit reminiscent of shoot 'em ups like Ikaruga but there is another twist to combat. Indeed, parrying in the right color allows you to get your health back, but when you do it in the wrong color, you still avoid damage. Added to that, there's the fact that parrying is actually your main tool to defat your enemies. You can of course attack them in a more standard fashion, but to fill your energy bar, the most efficient way is to parry the different attacks. Since you need to build up your energy in order to launch a sort of finishing move (especially when facing the bosses), it's very important that you master this mechanic. Timings are not that difficult to get though, so it becomes a sort of rhythm game once you've gotten the hang of it. Exploration seems a bit linear, at least in the short demo we've played, so we hope we'll have a bit more freedom in the final game. We also find the soundtrack is a bit lacking during combat as it remains quiet and peaceful all the time. Aside from that, we must say we have been pleasantly surprised by this preview built so we can't wait to see what the full game has to offer on April 25. We only have a French GSY Offline video to share as we don't really have the luxury of time these days, so we hope you won't mind and will be able to enjoy it anyway.
