Projection: First Light
There might be some issues here and there, but this is a perfectly enjoyable puzzle-platformer with great pacing and enjoyable shadow platforming.

Projection: First Light (Nintendo Switch)
Projection: First Light is a game that requires patience, but if you enjoy sprawling, beautifully designed platformers, it is worth playing.

Let's be clear – this is no disaster like Gleamlight. This is a well-crafted, carefully designed and fantastic-looking game. It's just such a damn shame that the central shadow-casting mechanic is so fussy, so irritating and so downright broken that we can't recommend it without the strongest of caveats. It's very clear that the developers put their heart and soul into Projection: First Light, and that effort deserves to be recognised. Unfortunately, we suggest you recognise it from afar. We don't think that a patch alone could solve this game's problems, and if there's ever a Projection: Second Light, we'd be surprised.

If there was a category for beautiful games then this would score 10 out of 10. A stunning and emotion laced platformer with frustrating drawbacks. + The graphics and theme are stunning. + Captivating audio. + 10 hours of gameplay. + A lovely touching story. - Frustrating game mechanics. - The game plateaus quickly. (Reviewed on Xbox Series X. Also available for PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.)
