The development team has crafted an experience that shows how while life can be filled with anxiety, worrying often proves to be a waste of time because the worst case scenario does not come true, even when an enemy gives chase. Journey of the Broken Circle on Nintendo is a mental journey through conquering fears, pieced together with impressive attention to detail, showing that just by trying hard - dozens of times if needs be - moving forward can happen and positive results can occur despite the person's apprehensiveness. The perfect mix of platform-puzzling goodness, and deep, profound story-telling.

If you’re looking for a platforming experience that won’t push you to your limits but instead engage you in a thoughtful, sometimes meditative journey, then you won’t go far wrong with Journey of the Broken Circle. There are a few issues with its writing and translation, but there’s nothing to detract from its beautiful art and sumptuous soundtrack. Slow down, enjoy the scenery, and take heed of its message.

If you have previously enjoyed games like Thomas was Alone, then Journey of the Broken Circle on Xbox is going to be for you. The developers have created a beautiful and magical world with strange, unreal characters, but have managed to place real-world issues into it; the mix works brilliantly. It provides a great piece of storytelling both in the writing and the visuals, and it’s helped along by some bonus unlockable levels should you feel the need.

Journey of the Broken Circle is an easy-breezy yet immersive and fun little game that'll make you smile and occasionally think as you play.Journey of the Broken Circle gameplay video → Nevaeh Review Switch ★★★★☆ I always appreciate games that force you to constantly adapt to different situations and with that in mind, here's the fantastic Nevaeh. Nevaeh may not be the most graphically refined or striking indie in recent memory but it manages to accomplish something that few indies do: offer a consistently-changing gameplay dynamic that keeps you hooked.
