  • The puzzles are well thought out and provide a good variety of challenges throughout the levels.
  • The game features a charming art style and engaging cutscenes that enhance the overall experience.
  • The dual-character mechanic allows for clever gameplay, as players switch between Vesta and her robot companion to solve puzzles.
  • Combat mechanics can feel clunky and imprecise, leading to frustrating encounters, especially during boss fights.
  • Checkpoints are poorly placed, often resulting in players having to repeat large sections of levels after dying.
  • The game can become repetitive, with some puzzles feeling unfairly designed and reliant on trial and error.

    The graphics in the game are described as colorful and visually appealing, with a nice art style that enhances the overall experience. However, some users note that the graphics can be simplistic and repetitive, particularly in boss battles and enemy variety, which detracts from the game's visual impact. Overall, while the game features well-designed levels, it sacrifices some graphical quality, likely due to its console-focused design.

    • “Vesta is a wonderful puzzle-platformer with a really nice art style and an awesome story.”
    • “Graphically, the game looks great and the levels are well-designed.”
    • “Nice, colourful graphics.”
    • “The graphics are a little simplistic, which is a shame, but the game was designed for consoles, and that means sacrificing quality.”
    • “Boss battles are weak and uninspiring, with limited enemy types and repetitive visuals.”
    • “There are some issues with scenery blocking the player’s view.”

    The gameplay of Vesta combines puzzle-solving and stealth mechanics, where players control a defenseless girl navigating a robot-infested environment. While the puzzles can occasionally be frustrating, the game offers a visually appealing experience and a satisfying gameplay loop, making it enjoyable for fans of action-puzzlers, particularly those who appreciate titles like Zelda.

    • “If you are good with this process of trial and error, I think you'll enjoy the tone and mechanics Vesta has to offer.”
    • “Though its puzzles can sometimes be unfairly or frustratingly designed, a pleasing visual style, meaty campaign, and generally satisfying gameplay loop make this a win in our book; we’d absolutely suggest you give Vesta a try (especially if you’re a Zelda fan).”
    • “The game still has stealth mechanics because as the little girl, you are defenseless against the robots, so you need to find ways around them in the level.”
    • “It's a simple action-puzzler, with simple tests of wit, and simple mechanics to deal with them.”
    • “Vesta is a puzzle title in which we have to control a 6-year-old girl who gives her name to the game and her robot (Seven) with great strength that she can use to her advantage in order to uncover the mysteries of the 'mechanical city' - the ruins of what was once an underground city.”

    The story in Vesta is praised for its engaging narrative and interesting dialogue, enhancing the overall experience of the puzzle-platformer. While some reviews note that the story and music do not stand out significantly, they still fulfill their purpose effectively. Overall, the combination of beautiful design and clever character dynamics contributes to a compelling storytelling experience.

    • “Vesta is a wonderful puzzle-platformer with a really nice art style and an awesome story.”
    • “The story and the dialogue are very interesting too, even better than I expected.”
    • “[beautiful design, clever use of two characters, engaging story]”
    • “The second is about the story, which you can read by activating consoles within the stages.”
    • “Neither the story nor the music shine particularly, but they do their job.”

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with a nice soundtrack that complements the gameplay, although it may not stand out significantly. Some players noted that the music persists even when turned down, indicating a potential issue with volume control. Overall, while the music serves its purpose, it doesn't elevate the experience dramatically.

    • “The soundtrack is very nice and the controls work very well.”
    • “I turned the music all the way down, but it was still there.”
    • “Neither the story nor the music shine particularly, but they do their job.”
