When starting the game, it is clear to see that some care and attention has been afforded to Ary’s adventure, with an almost Dreamworks aesthetic being the order of the day with endearing cutscenes that lay things out clearly and with charm.Īs the title suggests you play as Ary, a young girl who lives in the frozen regions of Valdi, a world which is split up into four main regions, each corresponding to the seasons and their respective elements.
ARY AND THE SECRET OF SEASONS PS4 PS2
This may sound familiar to a few people, but I think we can all agree that this is not something we see on a regular basis, not like we did back on the PS2 or Gamecube consoles. It is a light-hearted RPG-lite game, with platforming and somewhat unique puzzle mechanics. I believe the former is what developer Exiin was aiming for when they conjured Ary and the Secret of Seasons. Of course, it can easily go the other way, with this stage in a generation being the prime time for shovelware, lest we forget the horrors Midas Games and their Disney bothering output. After all, they also have the benefit of spotting gaps in the generational offering and being able to work in their own titles to pick up the slack. They lack the restrictive product cycles that bigger publishing wings must work with.
Perhaps for the first instance as well, it is a time also to be excited for what smaller developers can do. The games that make you second guess the need to pay hard earned on a new console as the current can still yield excellent results, thanks to the benefit of platform mastery and years of design hindsight. It’s around this point in the console lifecycle that you get your God of War 2’s, Last of Us or GTA V style experiences. It’s a time to be looking forward to what is coming for sure, but also the time in which the current generation is supposed to shine. You can feel the winds changing, we are at the edge of a new console generation and the anticipation for the future is downright palpable.
