Shio

I had a handful of small, niggling issues with Shio that by the end I was willing to overlook in the face of a game so expertly crafted that it shouldn’t be missed. I just wish there was more of it.
Get on Steam"Shio" is a challenging side-scrolling platformer where you jump from lantern to lantern to explore the world and uncover the past of a masked man. The environment is your only enemy in this game, which is divided into four chapters with meaningful environments. Using wits and dexterity is necessary to navigate through and find hidden rooms.

Shio (Nintendo Switch)
Shio is a decently challenging platformer with beautiful backgrounds and a moving story that you can unravel, which gives it a unique level of depth.

Following the fireflies in the darkness.

Shio evidently understands the appeal of gliding elegantly between obstacle-riddled levels like an invincible pro, and often comes across as a more casual Super Meat Boy. Yet, the foggy storyline feels distanced from its rapid-fire level design, which can make the attempts at a meditative atmosphere feel forced and alienating.
