8/10
Underrated game!
It deserves way more attention than it currently has with only 36 reviews(what!?) and it makes me so sad to see such a great game with so few players and recognition.
Im left wanting more and hope they will make a second similar game, and Ive been trying to find other simiilar games since I finished it.
Some things worth mentioning first so you know what you go into and dont end up walking away after 10 min or rage quit halfway in and leave a negative review when it could have been avoided:
The world is way bigger than you first expect and the exploration is a key point here.
The game has a very vague map system with no pointers/icons on it.
This might not be for everyone, specially those with no patience and zero sense of direction and who needs a clear 'go from point a-b as you can see here' with no deviations i between.
If you dont like exploring and discovering all the little secrets a game has to offer, such a secret passageways for collectives, bonus achievments, or you cant play without a detailed map, then I dont think you will like this much tbh and it might be better for you to skip this one.
Its also true as some of the negative comments mention about the controls being bad, but its also not true at all tbh!
This is a space/float/no gravity steering game. That means you steer like you would out in space and you cant just stop on the spot.
But for this type of game, the controls are actually incredibly responsive and good.
It simply cant be done better for this kind of movement system.
Yes I did occasionally curse the narrow corridors and one of those chase scenes that WILL make you headbump into almost every wall(every damn one lol because you're panicking, but its a tiny tiny part and takes 5 min), or those spikes that seem to just magically spawn in front of u just so you can fly into it, but it really was not that bad and in most places you can speed up and steer just fine left and right once you get used to them.
But the controls are not as bad it sounds and are very responsive all things considered!
(This is for keyboard/mouse, its posible its even worse on controller, I wouldnt know about that but I asume it would be because playing with a controller is by default terrible.)
If you really really hate this kind of movement tho, better stay away.
And yes you do move slow in the beginning as some mention, but you get several skill upgrades if you bother exploring and finding stuff, to then use in the 'skill room' now and then to unlock buffs.
The only negative to mention from me in forma 8 must be the map as mentioned above.
Unlike in HK and some other metroids, here each section has no icons or other pointers apart from the portals.
The exit ways are also very hard to figure out at first because they cover a big area and makes it look like you're there but your not quite there yet and had me doing some extra trips to the neighbouring map.
An image of how the map looks like to give u an idea can be seen in the image below. Note that it will also be a spoiler as its the complete map with everything unlocked, so only click it if u really want to see how it looks.

The controls can be fully remapped including combining with modifier keys which is a rare treat!
The mouse inputs didnt work for me tho but its fully playable without a mouse,
Would very much have liked it if this worked tho, but it just would accept and trigger anything set to the mouse keys for me.

This game you explore blindly in that sense, trust your inner sensors etc.
Finding all collectables and items is also done the old fashioned way.
It will confuse you as where to go sometimes, but its doable and I got used to it and there was a sense of achivement by the end of it all when you just knew this square box is that place and this square box was the place with the lava xD
It can also be confusing to know what to do at first, but just fly around and EXPLORE. Try to remember key locations so you can find your way back.

But if you do love immersive exploring and metroids in general this is a must play!
For fans of Hollow Knight and Limbo, and maybe games like Pixeljunks Shooter(movement wise), then I think you will like this one too.
Its not as huge or as good as Hollow Knight ofc, but the exploring and backtracking for collectives and discovering all the little secrets, is pretty big in this game and if you liked that stuff from similar metroid games, give this one a try pls.
Its also immersive and atmospheric, and the music in game does not match the music in the trailer at all.
I loved the art style and how it panned way out in some areas so you can get the full view.
The story is also good tbh and has more depth to it than you first think. I loved the story and ending, which leaves you with questions and wanting to know more.
If you do the achviements and come across some of the hidden ones, there is more good stuff to find and complete.
But I think most players are in such a rush these days to appreciate a lot of the things this game has to offer.
Yes it 'can' be completed in 4-5 hours. But why rush it so much?
Sit back and enjoy the journey with this one.
It took me ~12 hours of dedicated playtime for 100% completion.

This ended up with more bad than good to mention, despite the good far outweighing the bad.
But I think this is one of those games, judging from the reviews and playercount, where its best to cover all the bad so that you dont walk into this with false expectations and just end up leaving a negative review instead of having found a better suited game for you instead.
Go into it with all this in mind pls and you will like it, posibly even love it.
Its worth full price and the price is fair, currently ~10 euro.
I hope to see more from these devs in similar style, and Im definitly taking game recomendations if anyone got some similar ones to share!

A pretty short but solid metroidvania that rewards you if you pay attention because you need to backtrack a lot and with the floaty controls is best to remember where to go rather than wander around
An interesting concept for a metroidvania that harkens back to the era of artsy casual puzzle indie games. The strongest comparison I can make for this is a game called insanely twisted shadow planet. Unlike that game, this one wears out its welcome and ultimately becomes too tedious to enjoy. This is because the whole game is just too drawn out and slow with movement but at the same time you need to be quick on your reflexes in regards to handling enemies. it is a toxic mixture and I decided to stop playing around halfway through. Oh and I feel the game has an issue with consistency. for example, you're taught you bomb ability can get rid of rubble blocking the way, but sometimes that doesn't work anyway. enemies seem to take damage from your basic attack judging by sounds and visuals when in fact they are not taking any damage
However, this needs to be commended for using unity while having absolutely none of the stutter issues that unity games usually suffer from. Indeed, the game is buttery smooth and very polished just like the indie games of old, despite the engine used.

I like the general atmosphere, the game does a great job of telling a compelling story with only the environments to go by, even if I'm not that big a fan of silhouette graphics. The world you explore feels very alien and mysterious, and really lets your imagination take over. Where the game and I butt heads though, is with the movement. It felt like I was constantly fighting the game for control of my character the whole way through, and it really kills the fun I was having taking in the environments. Maybe this is just a problem unique to me, but damn if it didn't sour my experience. Ultimately I just barely give this a recommended, but it's one of those games where, if someone asked if I liked it, I'd have to stop and think about it a bit first.
Final Rating: Hazy
Beautiful graphics, intuitive gameplay and a moving subliminal story all paired with challenging puzzles and enemies all make for one of the best indie games I've ever played.
Excellent style, exploring leaves a neat sense of wonder.
Fortunetly, I didn't play this game for too long so I could refund it.
The game started off really strong, I liked the quiet, slower pace and the minimalist visuals. I quickly (very quickly) grew tired of that slow pace, however. Even doing the most basic of backtracking was a crawl.
But that's not why I wouldn't reccomend this game. I came across the first real enemy after not too long, and it is why I refunded this game. The combat mechanic to fight it is simple...then the real way to fight it is a bit more complicated...I think. The truth is that I recieved no indication of how to fight this enemy, or even whether what I was doing was working, or how much longer I needed to do it to win. I was just doing my thing, what was ultimetly a guess at how to play, with 0 feedback from the game. After dying maybe half a dozen to a dozen times, I knew that the whole game was going to be like that, so I refunded.
I don't like games that hand-hold you through everything. I've beaten Dark Souls for crying out loud! But at least Souls games tell you how much health an enemy has left.
You know what's fun? Dodging high speed projectiles with good, responsive controls. Guess what this game has the exact opposite of.
weird but cool
A more atmospheric, puzzle-oriented metroidvania. The player's movement speed is atrociously slow even after you pick up some movement upgrades, so you might consider using a helpful little tool to speed up the game during the long sections of empty space.
Appealing graphics and inoffensive audio. Combat is simple but does ramp up as you go.
Pros:
+ Plenty of different beautiful locales, there is a certain sense of wonder when exploring the world. Visuals are one of the game's strongest points.
+ Ambient soundtrack (nothing like in the trailer though).
+ Unique mechanics for every boss make for interesting battles.
+ A very smooth difficulty curve.
+ Good mileage for that price.
Cons:
- Sluggish controls on keyboard. I often wished the Forma didn't have so much inertia, makes aiming bombs frustrating.
- Slight lag when CPU-heavy effects go on screen (e.g. distortion from hot air).
- Puzzles are very hit-and-miss. Some have well-designed hints that make you feel smart, some leave you scratching you head and looking for guides. Seriously, one of the achievements has nothing to do with the information within the game and requires a bit of gaming history knowledge.
- Progression pacing is a bit off. After I unlocked the first three (out of five) abilities, I managed to explore most of the game with them; the last two were given very close to the end and with a very short interval. And since collecting everything requires the full range of abilities, I did quite a lot of backtracking for a 100% completion.
Interesting game, graphics are pretty cool, story ok, controls take some getting used to. But I either have to assume I encountered a bug, or the whole "minimal tutorial" bullshit got taken way too far on this one. Spent almost an hour trying to work out how to get through a wall. Eventually ended up googling a walkthrough and the video showed someone just blasting through it with an ability I already had, which I'd already tried. At first I really liked the way the minimalist intro left you really feeling abandoned on an alien planet, fitting well with the story, but then it was frustrating and limited progression through what (in my fairly limited gameplay thus far) seemed like a reasonably linear story.
An interesting game. A really amazing atmosphere. Great in terms of exploration. But I'm just not a fan of the mechanics. The whole 'drop bomb -> shoot bomb' primary attack gets really tedious really fast. Would recommend I guess, but just maybe on sale as the execution really hurts the stunning atmosphere of this one
A love letter to the metroidvania genre, this game is atmospheric and immersive in every detail.
Can easily be worth up to 10 hours of gameplay searching every interesting nook and cranny, or around 6 for a rushed first playthrough.
I highly recommend it if you like a good mix of peaceful exploration, obscure lore, the occasional skill-based puzzle and a few tough boss fights.
This game is absolutely a masterwork of handcrafted perfection!
Relaxing and great physics ideas. Very clever. Cool graphics.
forma.8 is a game of mystery and surprises. With a very minimalistic approach, no tutorials or intrusive instructions, the game places you in a journey to discover the secrets of this planet, all on your own.
The puzzles are good and the bosses are really fun and unique, there are also plenty of moments when you'll be dazzled by the scenery and just want to stop and appreciate the view.
The game is perfect for anyone looking to explore weird alien landscapes, with rewarding moments in finding beautiful places and interesting situations.
bought this on a whim because I liked the art style.
Its liek a "metroidvania" only you arent a bipedal creature hopping or jumping or hovering, youre a little floating ball that flys anywhere, and is affected by physics liek momentum and what not.
the art style is very nice, but the game seems very slow, at least in the hour or so that I played.
The orb thingy could move a bit faster, but Im thinking that will be a powerup later on.
it's a clever idea, and the art direction ties it together for some nice chill aesthetics and relaxing gameplay.
