Critic Reviews
Aaru’s Awakening PC review
Inconsistencies aside, Aaru's Awakening does make for a relatively enjoyable experience, even with its control flaws
68%Aaru's Awakening Review (PC)
Aaru's Awakening has a serious difficulty curve, but when you combine the twitch-based controls, the confusing art style or the camera zoom, you end up with an experience that, once completed, doesn't offer a feeling of joy or accomplishment. You just feel like you've finally completed a tedious task. Play Video
55%Aaru's Awakening Review
Despite some good ideas and a cool art style, Aaru's Awakening falls short of being a dream platformer.
