If you feel nostalgia for classic arcade adventure games from the Nineties like Flashback and Another World, you should not miss this one. But be aware of it’s unforgiving level design.
The Way is almost exclusively aimed at those gamers who remembers fondly Another World and Flashback. It is almost a step-by-step recreation of those games, in terms of aesthetics and gameplay mechanics, filled with diverse environmental puzzles, lethal one-hit dangers and, of course, the obligatory kind-of-unresponsive jumping mechanics.

Очень красивая игра! С хорошим музыкальным сопровождением. Обязательно к прохождению тем кто любит глубокий смысл + головоломки.

Love the world-building in this one. It's so in the back. But gives you absolutely everything that's important for this story and absolutely enough info so you can "feel" this world enough to make it real.
Also, the music is simply great. Graphics as well.
The first half was easy. The second was hard/frustrating. Also, polish creators definitely tried to make most moments of gameplay kind of "unique". Well, they mostly succeeded. Sometimes for better, sometimes for worse (a little too frustrating).
I will always (mostly) forget flaws in a game when it clearly has so much heart and competence put into the story. Like when you have a real story. I will take a small story like this any day over a "big", "epic", hollow, by the numbers validated by a political committee, production.
I love this simple yet gripping, atmospheric, mysterious sci-fi story about a lonely journey into the unknown to rescue the woman you love... After she died...

The Way has a lot going for it: the world is interesting, the puzzles are testing, and it has a wonderful charm. The movement is precise enough to make the platforming work, and controlling the powers is never an effort. Worth a punt if you’re looking for something a little retro this summer.
The Way is a fun adventure, filled with difficult-but-fair puzzles and wonderful art direction, but often marred by clumsy control issues and poor checkpointing, made especially worse in a game filled with long backtracking segments.
This type of game is one from a bygone era, and although The Way does its best to bring it back from the past, there are just too many problems to make it a good modern game.
An avalanche of poorly thought-out game design decisions makes it impossible to enjoy The Way.
Quotation forthcoming.
I love this game and i found it very interesting and varied. If you like games in 2D like Another World but with more puzzles and less action this game is for you. Highly recommended.
PROS: Ambient + Background music + Gadgets + Varied game (many and varied tasks) + Clever puzzles + etc
CONS: the Abyss puzzle is a pain + Sometimes it's try and die, try and die...
