“Great platformer. The movement feels great. Difficulty is about right; I wouldn't have minded a bit more of a challenge in the later levels. The soundtrack is tonally appropriate, and there are some great tracks, but it…”

“This game was really good. It is an action platformer, something adjacent to a "Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound" or such. There is a main game and free DLC. I'm writing a positive review due to the fact that I don't normally go…”
“SANABI proves that games don’t need a big budget to be great. Tight gameplay, satisfying movement, and a surprisingly emotional story. The core experience is already strong, but the free DLC shows how much the…”
“SANABI is a fantastic game with a very rich story and solid mechanics on the surface. This game even includes a FREE DLC included. The DLC has great additional content for those that enjoyed the rest of the game. If you…”

“Story is nice, some pacing issues imo but overall - good. Gameplay is kind of boring after a while, introducing minimal changes to the movement "formula". Music - nothing crazy, nothing to write home about, or more like…”

“I went into this game not expecting much on the story front, and playing through the beggining of it I still didn't feel like it was going anywhere crazy, maybe just a cool reveal, but in the end I got the most emotional a game has ever made me, full on ugly crying, just for…”

I wouldn't write home about this one, it's nothing CRAZY. I think given the amount of content (which isn't a TON), it does just fine, and can get super fun in the…”
