Notre preview :
So, what can we have to offer? MIO : Memories in Orbit ? A software that we were able to partly test during a press preview during the Paris Games Week 2024. Graphically, the game is very beautiful, with a “tutorial” part (the first part that we tested) very simple in its design (very simple, with fine golden lines on a black background), and a “game” part , with a nice AD using drawing. A choice that hits the mark!
Side gameplayit’s just as interesting… The game thus offers fairly simple handling, with few keys to remember, but the gameplay complicates everything, making the experience particularly challenging, a bit like a Prince of Persia. You will therefore lose often, and you will have to save your progress whenever possible, but the game is worth it! And the difficulty is well balanced to avoid any frustration.
It is therefore a beautiful promise that we make Twelve Tenths et Focus Entertainment ! A software that should please fans of challenges as well as beautiful drawings. For experienced gamers, all the same, but newbies can still try the experience: at least, they will have the drawing… All we have to do is wait for its release to see more!
