“Jusant” Redefines Climbing Games With Exciting Innovations

• Jusant features some of the most captivating rock-climbing mechanics.
• Uncharted 4’s frequent climbing segments left the players dissatisfied.
• The world of Jusant is exceptionally serene, marked by a profound stillness.

One of the significant gripes about Uncharted 4 was the frequent demand for climbing as Nathan Drake, the international thief and treasure hunter. The climbing segments, which could hardly be considered puzzles, often lacked intrigue or challenge.

Uncharted’s strengths appeared to lie in its storytelling, characters, and the overall adventure. The puzzles, including those in dungeons, seemed rather uninteresting and the climbing soon lost its appeal.

If only Uncharted had climbing mechanics as engaging as those in Jusant. Developed by French video game developer DON’T NOD, this upcoming platformer features some of the most captivating rock-climbing mechanics ever seen in a video game. However, Jusant’s appeal will likely differ from Naughty Dog’s more action-oriented games. It doesn’t involve shooting, combat, or high-speed pursuits. Characters don’t play a central role, at least not in the initial hours. It’s a solitary and quiet game.

The world of Jusant is exceptionally serene, marked by a profound stillness. The towering monolith you ascend was evidently submerged underwater in the past. Traces of a bygone ocean’s presence are scattered throughout, but like the sea, the humanity that once inhabited these sandstone vistas has vanished. Only remnants of this rugged civilization endure, dispersed among long-abandoned chambers, in the form of notes and diaries.

Early in the game, you encounter a companion named Ballast, a peculiar spirit composed of the rarest substance: water. Ballast will unlock new routes, activating desert flora to provide fresh footholds for scaling previously inaccessible heights.

Beyond its captivating world, what truly distinguishes Jusant is its intricate climbing mechanics. Climbing necessitates the use of the left and right triggers to grasp and release handholds. You are fully equipped with mountaineering gear, attaching a rope to an anchor before each ascent. You can add new anchor points as needed, allowing changes in direction, rope swings to distant walls, or rappelling in new directions.

As you ascend surfaces, a stamina bar gradually depletes, but it can be effortlessly replenished by halting to catch your breath. This is a remarkably tranquil game. While it presents puzzles and challenges that require thought, it isn’t punishing. The combination of its immersive atmosphere, blending ancient nautical remnants with desert landscapes, and precise climbing mechanics make Jusant one of the most atmospheric platformers I’ve encountered recently. The concealed paths meandering through the desert, revealing clues, add layers of mystery.

Jusant possesses a haunting simplicity, a striking minimalism hinting at a world ravaged by a catastrophic climate apocalypse. It’s a beautiful, tranquil, and equally somber gaming experience.

Jusant is set to launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S this Halloween, and it will be available on Game Pass on the release day.
