Exo One

very fun and very satisfying game, lot of hard work for one solo-developer. respect the hell out of em'

Beautiful game, defiantly worth the pick up when it's on sale!

Exo One is a very chill and pleasant game with great atmosphere, and visually unique planets. Tricks are exhilarating and controls are basic enough to pick up pretty quickly.

Overall, a relaxing atmospheric game where flying through the clouds of unworldly planets never felt so satisfying! Controls are easy to learn, the landscapes/planets look exceedingly well, the soundtrack is extremely calming, and you really do get a sense of distance from each of the planets. I defiantly recommend picking up Exo One when it goes on sale.

great music, simple controls, amazing scenery. over all great game

EXOllently made game! Simple mechanics, astounding graphics, and I cannot stress this enough... One of the most relaxing games anyone could come by. You will find yourself literally shot at planets and enveloped in multiple serene and beautiful landscapes with a soul calming soundtrack to boot, This Game is worth every penny and definitely worth all the time you can give it!

very chill, great atmosphere, exilerating controls

Lights out, headphones on and just enjoy the journey.

Except the tree level that was annoying

Absolutely worth it when on sale, it's a beautiful game. The story is a bit... all over the place, so if you're here for that, I don't recommend it.

I wish they had a time trial or free roam mode to explore the planets at our own leisure, but otherwise it's a pretty chill experience.

After playing for two nights, I accidentally restarted the game and I'm glad I did. I bumped my video settings and resolution to MAX and everything so smoothly on my average computer. I've been gaming since about 1980, so I've done all the blasting and scrolling that I care for; now I'm on a quest for originality and storytelling. This is it! Even just listening to the atmosphere and background music is worth the experience. Beautiful, enchanting, mysterious. I could play for hours just to fly around the worlds and attempt higher heights at faster speeds.

Gravity+friction powered ball with the special ability "turn into a frisbee".
Not bad.
The disjointed story is a bit less than half baked, and overall it's lack of polish detracts from the experience.
I managed to squeeze more enjoyment out of it than the 5 dollars (on sale) would have otherwise bought me had I used it for something silly like a hotdog, so there's that.
Visually, very well done.
The mechanics are pretty great when you get a gravity induced rolling launch *just right* and punch through the sound barrier to do your best impression of a starfleet vessel hitting warp. The flipside, if you dink around too long and end up trapped on the ground in one of the climbing levels, it SUCKS trying to get yourself into a position where you can fling yourself anywhere high enough for advancement.

If I didn't know it was a finished product, I would guess Exo One was in "early access" and the progression+story were less than half finished.

6/10 game.
Again, not bad.

This is different... something refreshing from a long glut of atomic degradation in terms of game ideas. This is physics and art and lsd wasn't even required at all. Amazing.

A simple yet mesmerizing experience.

Exo One is a relaxing and therapeutic game with beautiful visuals and satisfying mechanics. Gliding across alien landscapes and building momentum feels very smooth and pleasant.

I appreciate that it doesn’t try to be more than it is—it remains a well-contained experience without unnecessary complexity. There seems to be a story, but it didn’t leave much of an impression on me, making it the one area where the game might feel lacking.

Overall, it’s a great choice if you're looking for a short, simple, and enjoyable journey.

The game play itself is great. Very fluid once you get the hang of it and can be incredibly satisfying. Overall it's good enough to get a recommendation when it's on a discount. Is the game worth otherwise? I don't know. The replayability isn't as great as I'd hoped. There is a sort of story line you follow and it's at least for me the weakest part of the game. Tbh I wasn't even expecting there to be anything I thought I would just get to fly around cool worlds and enjoy that but instead I got this esoteric and frankly odd depiction of something I honestly didn't really get. Feels like it was inspired by Interstellar. Which is fine but I'm struggling to see what it added. Perhaps for the first play through it makes sense but I would really like a simple game mode where I can go to a planet and fly around. Perhaps have random markers spawn so you're not just flying around completely blind and you get a makeshift objective. I want to recommend it only because the gameplay itself is that great and it has a lot of potential. Clearly there won't be more as the game is already 4 years old but it's still a fun experience, I just wish there was more of it

This game is weird. Yes, it is somewhat nice-looking and has its charm, but it's basically a screensaver that you have to control for some reason. Every world is a bit too long and/or lacking new mechanics to stay fun, and controls are not always playing in your favor.
And one of the main drawbacks is the game's "plot". I assume it has one, but listening to scary and distorted voices talking something about Jupiter while you're a glowing ball gliding through completely unnatural landscape... it's weird. Maybe it would unravel somewhere down the line, but in the moment it just feels wrong.
Remove this "plot", slap some nice music (oh, did I mention that it's almost non-existent here?) and it might be a good game.
Otherwise - maybe get it with 75% discount. Or skip: you won't loose much.

The story kinda lost me and the occasional graphics pop-in on my rusty old laptop leaves a little to be desired, but at the end of the day what matters is that I've never wanted to be a ball in my life more than I have while playing this game. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Marble rolling simulator. Extremely monotonous gameplay and incoherent plot.

Don't do drugs. Enjoy the travel. Feel the elements. Good luck on your journey.

SUPER fun, with GREAT graphics, simple but engaging play, brilliant physics, and a soundtrack that doesn't disappoint! 100% recommend! Getting it for my friend AND my nephew!

A fun little game but a little too long by just a bit.

Looks pretty good in 4K for the most part though there are a few oddly res textures.

I got it on sale for 5 bucks and that seemed to be the move, no way it's worth 17 dollars.

It has a story but don't expect a lot from it. It also has some serious phobia inducing sea levels.

This short game is a fantastic work of art. I got it for $5 on steam but if I had known it was as good as it is id have paid full price anyway. Very well done, even as simple as it is. Beautiful, really.

Well that was super fun. Everything the demo made me expect from it. Loved the different planets, and the story was nicely done.

The procgen terrain was really varied and insteresting. Loved it.

Wow.

Really weird game, but weird in a fucking awesome way

This game is a jewel, everything about it is natural and well thought. Controls and tricks just explain themselves. Outstanding work!

I love this game its very relaxing. the movement is very satisfying and listening to the lore as you go is a great addition to the whole thing. I have no complaints but I would really love the game to be longer, more levels and distance you can go in anyone direction. Maybe one day it'll happen.

Beautiful game!

Very chill game about a space frisbee
Ts so beautiful

My first attempt at the game stopped after 30 min - I didn't understand what I was supposed to do.

The second attempt was better, but stopped after a few hours, when I got lost and had no idea how to reach the next checkpoint. While the atmosphere of the game is great ( music, art, etc ) - I have to admit that the game works against itself : the soothing, relaxed, contemplative experience quickly turns into a rather frustrating 'which way should I be going and how do I get there' experience.

Play this while high. Trust me.

i cried (deadass), the ball crew too, we crode together

piece of art love it.
it was much better then expected!

If you like wandering around a lot trying to figure out where you are and where you need to go, then spend a lot of time trying to get there, this game is for you. I lost interest after a couple of hours because I like to know what the goal is and what it takes to get there. This is not that game. Mainly I just kept getting to a 'point of interest' then banging my ball against it/around it/on top of it until something 'else' happens. Just too 'dreamy' and vague for me.

Vibes based movement game.

- Spectacular visuals of outer space, with scary underwaters like Subnautica (made me naucous, in a good way).
- Movement feels great, once you get hang of it.
- But it is very "vibes" based, no mechanical complexity and narrative is too vague to hold on to.
- I love good ambient music but this game could've used more of it.
Love the idea, I'm sad the execution didn't went that far. Thumbs-mid for me.

Speedrun potential : ✔

So that's where my lost marble went.

An experience rather than a game. An incredible feeling of flight through the stars that has you thinking about the universe we live in.

Instant buy

Loved every moment of it. 10/10 would play it again.

the music and the vibes and diving and breaking the sound barrier. I only wish I could go back and do the early levels with my upgrades.

This fills the "Open World Terrain and Momentum Based Traversal" shaped void in my heart that Sonic Horizons left.

getting stoned as shit and playing this is genuinely ethereal. i love it

Philosophical

sick game gave me everyting i wanted And i liked it thumbs up

Fucking love this game. Had a great time, the soundtrack slaps too.

Fantastic music. Shoddy gameplay controls. Not worth the frustration of fighting the controls and a poorly optimized camera view.

this game is just so... nothing. It forces you to watch cutscenes that imply the existence of a story but it never actually tells it. After every cutscene I was just sitting there like "...okay? What the fuck does that even mean?" but the game stubbornly refuses to expand or elaborate on any of the alleged story elements it presents.
Like imagine reading a book where every page only has one letter on it and by the time you reach the end it just spells out a series of cryptic one-liners with no clear meaning or correlation to each other. Functionally, that's what this is.
The gameplay is satisfying enough I guess, but there's never any variation to it. Every level is basically the same and there's no progression to keep you engaged. The only thing you get from clearing a level is a cutscene, and as aforementioned, the cutscenes might as well not be there because they literally tell you nothing. The only thing that kept me playing until the end was the hope that by the end there would be an actual narrative to follow and enjoy, but there just... wasn't.
I only played it for 2 hours, but those are two hours I'll never get back. And it feels really unfair because everything around this game seems to promise revolutionary gameplay and an insightful story, but it never really delivers on either of those promises.
It's like seeing an ad for a sandwich, driving to the restaurant, waiting in line, ordering the sandwich, and then waiting for it to be made. But when they hand it to you, it's a piece of dog food between two graham crackers and the waiter is staring at you like he's expecting you to be impressed or something. Like the only thing I'm impressed by is how much of a colossal waste of time and development resources this was...

A fun and atmospheric game with unique mechanics. The game is quite short and the story as simple as it is is quite enjoyable. For the low price it is being sold for it is well worth buying.

You are an alien probe that propels itself in the weirdest coolest way. The constant screen cross hairs can't be removed and the back story is beyond worthless and confusing.

What a beautiful game.
A+ on all aspects.
- Pure Creativity
- simple but fun game mechanics
- Familiar yet ephemeral in concept

An incredible game, beautiful and with a sense of peaceful, yet exhalirating experience that will remind you of Journey. Absolute experience!

Beautiful game. If you ever had one of those flying dreams, this is the game reminescent of such experience.

It's a semi open world roller/flyer, however you are guided towards your next objective to progress the story.

I understand that many people see this as more of a simulation than a game... but I really enjoyed my experience with it. It was surreal, evocative, otherwordly. It doesn't matter if it doesn't fit our expectations of what games should be.
