A narrative adventure game about an android exploring the secrets of an abandoned world. The title is an independent project by one of Blizzard Entertainment's studio employees, who was inspired by films created by Studio Ghibli.
Europa is an indie narrative adventure game inspired by the films created by Studio Ghibli. Its originator and chief designer is Helder Pinto, who combined his work on the game with his role as art director at Blizzard Entertainment (Overwatch series). He was supported in the creative process by friends, including Alex Petherick-Brian (programming), Craig Harris (animation) and Brian Horn (narration and cinematic interludes).
The story depicts the fate of an android named Zee, who takes a journey on the titular paradise moon in the shadow of Jupiter. The protagonist explores the desolate world, learning about the history of an ancient civilization and the last living human being.
Europa is a first-person game with a play model focused on solving puzzles, uncovering secrets and exploring a desolate yet extremely colorful land. As the android Zee, we take a journey, moving both on land, water and even the heavens. This is possible thanks to the use of the Zephyr jetpack, which gains new capabilities over time. It allows for instant movement between locations.
Noteworthy is the diversity of the visited places - at every step we come across traces of ancient people, including abandoned villages, monumental fortresses or ubiquitous huge robots. They appear in a variety of scenery, including among great lakes, snowy peaks or sky-high islands.

A game all about gliding and exploring trips over its own feet.
Wccftech: 5.5 / 10 by Chris Wray
Europa looks to offer a meditative experience, as you explore gorgeous vistas backed up by an outstanding soundtrack, and it can offer this, only it is piecemeal. Far too often it trips itself up by killing the traversal and exploration, and throwing things at you that are never challenging, and only annoying,
Try Hard Guides: 10 / 10 by Erik Hodges
Europa is the closest thing we have to a Ghibli movie in video game form. With stunning visuals, a relaxing atmosphere, satisfying movement mechanics, and an intriguing mystery to uncover, Europa is a game worth losing an afternoon to.
