The Good
- Bird’s-eye view of the world looks suitably pretty and impressive
- sound design lends a lot of character, both serene and surreal.
The Bad
- Objectives and game mechanics are frustratingly obfuscated
- narrative lacks a through line or comprehensible plot
- some clunky controls
- very little to actually do.
Our Verdict
Underwhelming
There are some good elements that shine through occasionally, but generally the game is not a positive experience.
Vane manages to successfully present an intriguingly surreal world, but its aimless story and execution keep players from deriving much satisfaction from visiting it.
