Orion packs a strong, unique narrative into a small span of time. It also brings with it a fair bit of polish, though not enough to immediately stand out against some of its more known contemporaries. Even so, for the first release from Cylight Studios, it’s a striking effort. If they could manage to create such a cool game in one year on a tight budget, then they can almost certainly accomplish far greater in the future. In the meantime, Orion is a brief, but compelling, tale that is worth a complete playthrough.
