Exo One Gameplay: We tell you about this promising game inspired by Kubrick and Journey

Style of play Exo One: We’re telling you about this promising game inspired by Kubrick and Journey

In development since 2016, Exo One is an indie game in which the player embodies a ship that can control gravity. We had access to a new demo of the title, longer, including four planets. We tell you everything on video.

Finding another game that looks like Exo One is difficult, so much so the Exbleative studio’s project is on the verge of multiple influences. The most obvious: travel first, because of its atmosphere and mystical side, but also Kubrick, whose effects the famous space-time journey of 2001 a space odyssey

are included here. Perhaps the game’s plot is as cryptic as the famous movie. At the moment, this new demo mainly allowed us to try the gameplay and atmosphere of Exo One.

Very addicting gameplay

And it is mainly because of these two aspects that the title stands out. The player embodies a revolutionary spaceship, able to suddenly increase its gravity to fall in the shape of a ball and, thanks to the slopes of the mountains, gain speed, then take off and even float and become a disc. Exo One takes up the game mechanics of Tiny Wings or Tribes Ascend. All the pleasure will come from the actions of the player who will be able to go at full speed even if it means crossing the sound barrier

.

And with the four planets we’ve explored, Exo One seems to know how to do it to renew the wacky race of this ship. No new forces on the program to achieve even more spectacular corners, however Special features for each planet such as air currents, geysers or volcanoes. The whole thing comes with different biomes. The final game will feature 12 different planets, each with its own unique atmosphere like a sea, a desert of rocks, etc.

Exo One will be available for PC, One and Xbox series in early 2021.
