  • story

    113 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    23% positive mentions, 72% neutral mentions, 5% negative mentions

    The story in Hazel Sky is a mixed experience; while some find it engaging, immersive, and well-written with intriguing world-building and character development, many others criticize it for being incoherent, rushed, disjointed, and lacking meaningful player choices. The narrative tends to be short and sometimes confusing, with technical issues and clunky gameplay detracting from its potential impact. Overall, the story appeals more to those who appreciate atmospheric, lightweight storytelling rather than deep, complex plots.

    • “Hazel Sky is a game that immediately captivated me with its interesting story, which kept me hooked and engaged from beginning to end.”
    • “The story and lore are deeply immersive and well-written.”
    • “From the very first moments, the world captures you with its poetic atmosphere and heartfelt storytelling.”
    • “The story builds it up to where you expect to have to make a choice at the end—a very obvious choice—and then doesn't let you make it at all.”
    • “It's just a shame that the characters aren't adequately developed and the game is too short to sufficiently suspend disbelief for the plot, implying that the story was written around the gameplay concept and not the other way around.”
    • “You can sort of piece together the story, but it feels extremely disconnected between each part, you never really feel it, and the pace breaks it again and again as well.”

  • gameplay

    39 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    13% positive mentions, 77% neutral mentions, 10% negative mentions

    The gameplay in Hazel Sky is generally simple, linear, and somewhat clunky, with basic platforming and light puzzle-solving mechanics that lack depth or complexity. While some appreciate its polished elements and occasional variety, many find it monotonous, janky, and underdeveloped, contributing to an overall feeling of an unfinished or demo-like experience. The gameplay aims to support a story-focused experience but often feels too shallow and brief to fully engage.

    • “Gameplay in Hazel Sky is primarily focused on light platforming and environmental puzzles, which range from basic mechanical repairs to simple item-based interactions.”
    • “The game manages to include an impressive variety of mechanics, and the environmental design makes sure that most locations and extras are not difficult to find, merely tedious at times.”
    • “There are several platforming sections of jumping, sliding and climbing, rather simple overall, that act as a nice break in the ‘walking simulator’ pacing and give some more action to the gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay is dull and monotonous, picking object from x to y.”
    • “The controls lack polish, occasionally making the gameplay feel a bit frustrating.”
    • “Gameplay is confusing, item management, even just simply picking an item up, is awkward.”

  • graphics

    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 51% neutral mentions, 9% negative mentions

    The graphics are widely praised for their beautiful, stylized art style, atmospheric visuals, and appealing aesthetics, though some note inconsistencies and limited graphical options, especially at higher resolutions. While the visuals effectively convey mood and enhance immersion, occasional bugs and underwhelming face models slightly detract from the experience. Overall, the game's graphics stand out as a strong aspect, particularly for an indie title.

    • “The graphics are very beautiful, creating a visually appealing and atmospherically rich world.”
    • “The stylized visuals are not graphically intensive, but they are beautiful in their own right, relying on color, composition, and lighting to convey emotion rather than sheer fidelity.”
    • “Graphics are beautiful for an indie title, no bugs encountered so far, controls are pretty tight.”
    • “The game at first hand seems aesthetically pleasing but comes very short when you push the resolution higher than 1080p, and it really cannot handle 4K although it gives you an option for it, and does not offer much in any graphic adjustments.”
    • “The art style is very weird and inconsistent, the game is extremely buggy to the point where it seems rushed.”
    • “Although I will give them 2 out of 10 and that's just because of the visuals.”

  • music

    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    26% positive mentions, 65% neutral mentions, 9% negative mentions

    The game's music is a standout feature, praised for its fitting, touching, and atmospheric acoustic tracks that enhance the narrative and emotional depth. However, some players find portions of the guitar performances off-key or the overall soundtrack simplistic and inconsistent. Overall, music plays a meaningful thematic and gameplay role, contributing significantly to the experience despite occasional quality issues.

    • “Music plays a surprisingly central role in Hazel Sky, both literally and thematically.”
    • “The ability to find and play different songs on the guitar isn’t just a charming diversion—it’s a form of quiet resistance.”
    • “The soundtrack itself complements this introspection, with gentle acoustic tracks and ambient soundscapes that evoke both melancholy and hope.”
    • “- The music, the menu music, the game music, and even the voice acting are really bad.”
    • “- Some of the songs interpreted on guitar by Shane, using the musical sheets, are off-key and just mediocre at best.”
    • “- Some of the radio songs are poorly recorded.”

  • emotional

    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Hazel Sky is praised for its poetic atmosphere, heartfelt storytelling, and touching soundtrack, delivering a gentle and emotionally resonant journey that explores deep themes like identity and duty. While some find the emotional connection to characters lacking or the story occasionally superficial, many appreciate its sincerity and artistic presentation, especially when experienced with the original Brazilian Portuguese voice acting. Overall, it offers a memorable, narrative-driven experience with a strong emotional core despite some flaws.

    • “Hazel Sky is one of those rare titles that manages to feel more like an emotional journey than just a simple game.”
    • “From the very first moments, the world captures you with its poetic atmosphere and heartfelt storytelling.”

    33% positive mentions, 34% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is widely praised for its beautiful visuals, poetic and heartfelt storytelling, and immersive worldbuilding that encourages exploration. While most find the atmosphere engaging and well-supported by music and puzzles, a few critics feel the story and voice acting detract from the overall mood. Technical issues occasionally impact the experience but do not overshadow the rich atmospheric qualities.

    • “From the very first moments, the world captures you with its poetic atmosphere and heartfelt storytelling.”
    • “These environments encourage exploration, not through traditional rewards like loot or collectibles, but through atmosphere and quiet worldbuilding.”
    • “The story and character development are well written, the game really delivers on atmosphere, music and puzzles.”

  • replayability

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The game offers a strong initial experience but is notably short with limited replay value, leading many players to feel it lacks long-term engagement unless discounted.

    • “On top of that, the game is rather short, leaving you wishing for more once the credits roll, and the replay value is limited compared to its strong first-time impact.”
    • “I would not recommend until heavily discounted due to how short it is and that there will be little or no replay value.”
    • “Price per value feels high; limited to no replayability, and relatively short play-through.”

  • optimization

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    The game's optimization is subpar, with noticeable performance issues like low frame rates and occasional stuttering that can disrupt immersion. Additionally, some animations and mechanics feel stiff, though the original Brazilian Portuguese voice acting enhances the overall experience. Purchasing during a sale is recommended to balance these drawbacks.

    • “Not great performance on deck, a lot of low framerate moments.”
    • “Certain animations and movement mechanics, such as climbing or interacting with objects, can feel a bit stiff, and performance hiccups may pull you out of the immersion at times.”
    • “I recommend picking it up during a sale to enjoy its captivating narrative and support national production, mitigating the impact of its optimization shortcomings.”

  • grinding

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is often tedious due to lengthy travel and frequent interruptions for radio conversations, creating frustrating downtime. While the variety of mechanics and clear environmental design help mitigate difficulty in finding objectives, the overall experience can feel repetitive and time-consuming.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “There are many points where just walking, running, or swimming to where you need to be next was tedious, and many points where you have to stop what you are doing to have a radio conversation.”
    • “Those aren't even the same times, so you end up waiting for a radio conversation to end so you can go someplace, or after you tediously traveled somewhere you have to stop and have a conversation.”

  • character development

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    Character development in the game is generally well-crafted and integral to the storyline, contributing positively to the overall atmosphere and plot. However, some users find it shallow, indicating mixed opinions on its depth and execution.

    • “Story and character development are well written; the game really delivers on atmosphere, music, and puzzles.”
    • “Storyline, character development, and plot are all well constructed.”
    • “Story and character development.”
    • “The gameplay is as shallow as the character development, and even the reviews saying it has a good soundtrack are a lie.”

  • stability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including freezing upon entering sleep mode, and is plagued by numerous bugs that suggest it was released prematurely.

    • “If you put the game in sleep mode, it freezes, and you have to quit the game.”
    • “The game is extremely buggy to the point where it seems rushed.”
