the Game
A strange signal… an alien craft… an interplanetary, gravity-defying journey through space and time.
On the anniversary of the Jupiter disaster, an alien signal transmits construction blueprints for an alien craft, which humanity builds, called Exo One.
Master a truly alien traversal system and move through enigmatic and desolate alien landscapes in ways you’ve never experienced. Control gravity itself and build momentum to reach colossal speeds and exhilarating heights.
Ride thermal updrafts into boiling cloud formations, careen down hillsides and launch off mountain tops, all the time drifting toward the shining blue beam on the horizon. Atmospheric, diffused visuals are merged with otherworldly sound effects and a hypnotic electric guitar soundtrack.
Pilot your craft on mankind’s first voyage outside the solar system, and go on an interplanetary journey across space and time.

Very immersive and visually stunning. I enjoy movies like Sunshine, Event Horizon, and 2001 Space Odyssey, this game brings those to mind. I highly recommend this game as well as the soundtrack, both are worth the buy. Here's hoping to a sequel or expansion!. Also this game does work great on the Steam Deck.

A walking simulator if, instead of walking, you Tribes'd. There's a very serene flow state that you can enter once you've learned how to control your little marble/pancake. No real pressures or dangers, just good sights, sounds and game feel. Good for relaxing down from stress, or with a little weed.

First heard of this game from a small video essay youtuber called The Cursed Judge. The topic was about games with balls (featuring games like super monkey ball. I have no idea how this could be interpreted differently) and this was the last game mentioned in that video. I found it strange that while you do control a 'ball' in this game like the others, it felt weird to feature this game along the other games showcased. One day I saw this game for sale on steam for a reasonable price and figured I'd try the game for myself.
Generally this game consists of shifting the gravity of the ball to travel to the magnet beam and be launched to the next planet. Not sure if I explained that correctly but it's quite fun to master the mechanics. Each planet features a different environment in which you will learn and apply different mechanics. Sometimes worlds have lots of updraft for flying, some feature lots of water, some are cramped in space, and some give you all the space you want. The game's story was quite lost on me, but since the game is around 2 hours to beat I was able to enjoy it for the gameplay.
Overall if you like games like Journey, Flower, and Abzu, this game gives a similar vibe and is comparable to those games. I'd recommend this game for those who also enjoyed the games mentioned.

This game is therapeutic and fun. When I play this game everything that makes me angry, afraid, and anxious goes away. It is just me and the disc ball gliding into serenity. All the noise from life whispers away as you travel the planets and universe.

Do you like ambient rock? Do you like flying sims?
Exo One is the game for you! With it's haunting soundtrack, this game is sure to pull you in for an experience best savored after a long day of work or school. Albeit this game is short, it's a fun one-shot experience. You will have the best experience playing it with a game pad.
Pros: Relaxing, good music, fun to build momentum, and a good casual experience
Cons: Short, not as many levels as other walking sims
In short, this game is meant to be laid back. Go in with the expectations this was not AAA release title but a carefully crafted labor of love.

The loneliness of it all and distorted voices make it feel more like a horror. 37/10

Wow wow wow. Haven't been sitting at my computer with my mouth open all the time since I don't know when. This is a trip, man. Incredible.
