A TPP adventure arcade game, in which we must climb a mighty tower. Jusant tasks us with monitoring the protagonist's stamina, looking for alternate paths and using our equipment, such as ropes and grapples.
Jusant is a climbing focused arcade adventure game. It was developed by Don't Nod, also responsible for games such as Life is Strange, Campyr and Harmony: The Fall of Reverie.
Jusant is set in a fantasy world. We play as a young man climbing a massive, looming tower to discover the secrets of its builders - an ancient civilization. He's accompanied by Ballast, a very helpful water creature.
Jusant is a third-person game (TPP).The player must climb the mighty tower through various biomes - rocky ones, rainy and windy ones, plant-covered ones and snowy ones. There are also dark caves to explore and ancient ruins holding mysterious devices.
The climb is challenging, as we must monitor our protagonist's stamina and pause occasionally to let him rest. We must also look out for paths to keep climbing and use our equipment. The grapple and rope the hero's equipped with protect him from lethal falls, letting him overcome chasms and other obstacles.
Ballast deserves a separate mention, as it can not only accompany the hero but also help him, providing him with hints and awakening nature along the way.
Jusant makes use of a colorful low poly artstyle. The soundtrack is impressive and atmospheric.

Game Ratings for Jusant Video Game.
Push Square: 7 / 10 by Stephen Tailby
Despite one or two missteps, Jusant hangs together thanks to a well-realised, unique location and, more importantly, a fun and engaging way to interact with it. The climbing at its core is wonderfully tactile and finds a balance between complexity and accessibility. The spire of rock you're ascending is an interesting place to explore, gradually shifting into new environments as you ascend. We're not totally sold on the story, and the animation and camera can be clumsy every so often, but the game remains a solid, meditative adventure throughout.
Game Informer: 9 / 10 by Marcus Stewart
Jusant is my favorite Don’t Nod title since the original Life is Strange and is one of the year’s best gems. The climbing mechanics are so smart and well-executed that I hope other games take notes. Add an inviting presentation, a pleasant soundtrack, and an alluring air of mystery and isolation reminiscent of Team Ico’s best works, and Jusant is a rewarding expedition.
God is a Geek: 8 / 10 by Chris White
Jusant is a strong entry from DON'T NOD that offers a chilled out experience with a balanced sense of discovery, challenge, and beauty.
