  Aspire: Ina’s Tale is a short but varied experience blending puzzle-solving, action-platforming, and mystical metaphors. Beautiful and charming but not overly challenging, its emotional impact and memorable moments make it an escape worth taking.

  Aspire: Ina’s Tale combines a puzzle platformer structure with a rich magical story and a beautifully designed world to create a fun, if brief, adventure.

  Aspire: Ina’s Tale succeeds in creating an immersive atmosphere through its serene soundtrack and gorgeous visuals, but once you look beyond the aesthetics, everything starts to fall apart. It’s a shame because we really wanted to like this game. This gorgeous world deserves much better. If anything, Aspire: Ina’s Tale is a perfect example of why you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

  Aspire: Ina’s Tale doesn’t bring anything new to the table. The graphic design is superb, but I can’t recommend you play a game on graphics alone. I think fans of the genre could enjoy this, and for the amount of content I think it is fairly priced, but if you are interested I suggest you wait to pick it up in a sale.

  Aspire: Ina’s Tale was an engaging and delightful experience. That being said, don’t expect it to be a necessarily happy romp, as most of it is quite melancholy. The ending might not have been the biggest surprise, but the journey was well worth it. The characters, tone, atmosphere, and music made Aspire: Ina’s Tale a memorable adventure. I definitely recommend checking it out if you’re looking for a more casual yet thought-provoking experience.

  The art style suits the game well with colour being put to good use to bring the different tower environments to life. This is no ‘Gris’ but that game is so special I knew that it was never going to be.
