Ary and the Secret of Seasons
Ary and the Secret of Seasons is an award-winning adventure game following a young girl named Aryelle, or Ary, as she journeys across the great world of Valdi. By becoming the Guardian of Winter, Ary gains the ability to manipulate the seasons around her. Ary will learn to control the seasons and use them to defeat enemies, overcome obstacles, and solve complex puzzles on her adventure across Valdi.
Long ago, the world of Valdi was threatened by an evil mage. After a great struggle, he was defeated by the Legendary Warrior and sealed inside the Vault, imprisoned for all eternity.
To ensure the mage's imprisonment, four great sages swore to keep watch and protect the Vault. They formed the original Guardians of Seasons, a secretive organization now steeped in history and legend.
After a mysterious force throws the seasons of Valdi into disarray, Ary decides to assist the Guardians of Seasons and sets out to find the source of the mayhem.
Using her wits and courage, Ary will have to overcome monstrous enemies, secret plots, and stuffy traditions to save Valdi and bring balance to the world once more.

I greatly enjoyed this game. There were some lingering bugs, but they did not affect my game progress or my ability to have fun (they were all quite minor). I'm sure they will be patched soon.
The dungeons are where this game shines the best; they are very well-designed. Unfortunately, you have to play for a few hours before you reach the first full "proper" dungeon. Even so, it's worth the time investment.
You are given access to all 4 seasons before the first dungeon, and that means you have mostly free reign to explore the world with a lot of options from very early on. There are essentially 4 different versions of the same world to explore - as the seasons can be activated anywhere in the entire game. You can have all 4 seasons represented in the same room.
The whole game feels like a passion project. You can tell that a lot of care was put into the animations and character designs. The story is neat - not groundbreaking or anything, but it was enjoyable. The combat was a bit easy (on normal mode).
Sometimes it felt like the game tried to do too many things, and that means that some of them just don't feel as important or fleshed out as others. I think it's clear that the story/cut-scene, characters, town, and dungeon designs got the most attention. But the game also has a bunch of optional cosmetics, skill upgrades, and sidequests to go through.
Despite its flaws, I love this game for the dungeons alone. If you like games like The Legend of Zelda series, I highly recommend Ary and the Secret of Seasons.

SKIP FIRST SECTION FOR ACTUAL REVIEW:
A little rough around the edges.
It has a few bugs and oddities but nothing that deteriorates from the experience, If anything they will probably give you a good laugh.
Nothing a few patches can't fix.
(Small edit here)
Been in the Discord for a whole day now chatting with the devs.
Provided the feedback we give they pretty much work directly from there and fix any bugs on the go.
Patches should be out soon enough.

REVIEW:
Ary And The Secret Of Seasons is a love letter to many classic games such as Zelda Ocarina Of Time and Crash/Spyro and so on.
The puzzles are excellent, There is quite a bit of platforming and from what I played the dungeons are very interesting.
The graphics are very pretty, Nothing you haven't seen before in terms of art style but it sets itself apart from other games well enough.
The music is another thing that speaks to me.
Many beautiful tunes that are very relaxing to listen too.
Performance all and all is very solid on PC and my rig never seemed to struggle to run the game on Ultra at all.
The story is very good which is a big surprise to me.
The Launch Trailer already had me intrigued but I did not expect this at all.
It is hilarious memey and it sucks you in in every cutscene.
Platforming is another thing I absolutly adore in this game, It feels very responsive although a bit gamey.
But I feel that that works very well for this game, It let's you have complete freedom and control over your character.
So with everything in mind it is a little rough but if you can look past it's faults (Which again aren't many and do not deteriorate from the experience) Then you have got a very good and old school game in your hands that has also got a little of a modern feel to it.
I very much recommend this game cus it can only go uphill from here.
Give the devs and the game some love.
