    A finely struck balance of the grim dark expanse between the stars and the whimsy to be found on far away planets, definitely one worth your time and money. I just wish Isao would shut the hell up from time to time!

    Jett: The Far Shore deftly blends exploration and narrative elements, telling a story of struggle and hope against the odds. Small issues aside, the game shines with great writing and believable characters who press on even as challenges arise.

    Singular and therefore quite striking, "JETT Le Rivage Lointain" in French in the text, is a journey that should not be missed. It will not remain as a lasting memory that will mark the life of a player forever. It looks more like that nice walk we took on the weekend and which leaves vivid memories. It is a game that has a soul and brilliantly composes a striking musical and aesthetic blend.

    Jett: The Far Shore shines bright in some narrative-heavy sections, and its visuals can be impressive, but – despite starting off full of potential – it fails to fulfill its promise. Sadly, Jett’s finale, much like my time spent piloting its interstellar spacecraft, feels more unfulfilling than thought-provoking.

    JETT: The Far Shore has so much potential wasted due to its abysmal gameplay, the same gameplay that hinders the overall experience and undermines what good has been done on the artistic and narrative sides of the game.
  6. JETT: The Far Shore, which I entered with great expectations, manages to distract the player from the game with its bad dialogue design and storytelling.

    It must be said, I was absolutely blindsided by JETT: The Far Shore. The marketing was vague enough that I could envision this game working. The aesthetic that I found so dazzling is still there, but everything else falls by the wayside. At best, the gameplay teased me with what could have been. At its worst, it was a frustrating and laborious mess. Storywise, there were few sparks of interest to be found. Should something catch alight, it would be quickly smothered by boring office chatter. It’s the purest form of a game that presents itself as a well-designed art piece. JETT: The Far Shore is something to ogle at, to mull over, to discuss. It has no desire to lower itself to the medium of video games, and the mechanical tedium bears that out.

    Very good so far, trying some interesting ideas. The introduction is a bit slow, but the world is amazing and fun to explore.

All of the dialogue lasts twice as long as it needs to and ultimately adds little to the experience. The gameplay is needlessly strung out; you're forced to spend overmuch time on tasks/areas that don't have much to show. There are some good ideas in Jett, but none of them are polished very well. The result is like 5 different gameplay elements all failing to work together, none earning the player's time or interest. Expand

Gameplay though is nothing special, pretty boring, clunky feeling while flying your ship, trying to figure out what to do, all the while trying to read small subtitles on screen. Bit of a nightmare to say the least. Played the game for about an hour. Have no interest in playing any more. Expand
