Wandering Skies is the literal definition of an underrated gem. As the description of the game states, Wandering Skies is a first-person platformer where you unlock and use abilities to reach the end portal of a batch of non-linear levels. There are only two types of abilities, but they're both really fun and allow for a lot of experimentation and speedrunning potential — especially in the latter levels, as the first few are pseudo tutorials as to how you use the aforementioned abilities. That being said, the game is very short, coming in at a total of seven levels. However, every level of this game is surprisingly well-made; to some, such a game being short could be a boon, given that it doesn't overstay its welcome.
The story is nonexistant, but in a game like this, a story doesn't really serve any kind of purpose. I've now played through the game over five times, as have I acquired all the achievements, and the journey was a blast through and through. The only problems I really had with the game were that that audio feedback could afford to be better in some areas, performance can vary heavily, and, as stated before, the game itself just isn't very long (Which, if that last factor is a major problem, you know the game is fun). Being that this is a small, indie game, however, those issues can easily be overlooked; if you want a fun, short game that's made for speedrunning, I can't recommend this game enough. I'm extremely glad I found it; rest assured, the game's score would be even higher were it even a bit longer.
