As you wander Firmament’s splendid landscapes, the narrative builds to a heartening finale—but be prepared to strenuously exercise your brain along the way.
Becky Waxman · Jun 29, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewFirmament is clearly designed to appeal to players who loved the concept of Myst, showing them how impressive such a narrative-driven puzzle experience can be when built using modern tech. Stepping out into the three realms creates a powerful sense of wonder and there are plenty of moments when the world impresses with its scale and beauty.
Andrei Dumitrescu · May 23, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewFirmament was an extremely meditative puzzle-solving experience. I applaud Cyan Worlds for continuing to design these games without flashy ruckus, time limits, or deaths to speak of. It’s a peaceful journey through vast and mysterious lands full of wild and interesting machinery built into beautiful natural surroundings. However, as is often the case with Cyan Worlds games, Firmament is also a test of patience and sheer experimentation.
TJ Denzer · May 18, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewFirmament's VR-friendly design also makes it deathly still. The only physically moveable objects I found were a handful of books (which would clip through tables easily in VR), making it feel like a pre-rendered backdrop at times. It fits the lineage, but not so much the gauntlet that exists purely to interact with the world.
Dominic Tarason · May 18, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewFirmament managed to accomplish so much with what little it had to work with. Everything hinged on the climax at the end, and it delivered in spades. The nearly 8-hour game is a great reminder that you don’t really need players to keep playing your game for X amount of hours. I’m glad that Cyan Worlds stuck to its strengths and let storytelling and world-building do all the heavy lifting.
Erickson Melchor · May 18, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewAn intriguing exploratory puzzler that nails the aesthetic and the unnerving feeling of being alone. Some technical issues mar an otherwise great experience with a quirky, interesting story.
Simon Brown · Jun 06, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewFirmament es un juego de puzles en primera persona muy de la vieja escuela, a cargo de los creadores del clásico Myst. La sensación que deja es que su desarrolladora, Cyan Worlds, no han sabido adaptarse demasiado bien a los tiempos que corren, con un juego de puzles obtusos y de implementación discutible en varios casos, y una narrativa difusa que se diluye en un desarrollo de ritmo muy irregular.
