Critic Reviews
The Sojourn Review – Profoundly Puzzling
The Sojourn has an effective story and occasionally rewarding gameplay, but its inconsistencies in gameplay, pacing, and progression make it less than the sum of its parts.
60%A picturesque puzzler --- The Sojourn review
The Sojourn is a peaceful yet thought-provoking puzzle game with beautiful visuals. The only bits of story are told through dioramas, so it isn't spelled out for you. With a sense of wonder and interesting puzzle mechanics, you'll have a great time seeing how clever you truly are.
80%The Sojourn PS4 Review
The Sojourn is one of the best games of the year and one of the best puzzle games available, if not the best. Every single puzzle is meticulously designed and challenges you in satisfying ways, without ever feeling impossible. Carefully crafted, beautiful levels. An uplifting, philosophical story that asks you to reflect upon your actions and the world around you. All of these ingredients create an experience like no other and a game you will be thinking about even after the credits have rolled.
