PC Gamer: 89 / 100 by Kaile Hultner

A subtle and intriguing story encourages you to climb ever higher in this melancholy adventure.

Full Review

Digital Trends: 4 / 5 by Tomas Franzese

Jusant's creative take on climbing and a minimalistic approach to storytelling make it one of the boldest titles from Don't Nod so far.

VG247: 5 / 5 by Jim Trinca

A way up, in this case. Jusant is another banger in a year of endless bangers, as notable for everything it isn’t as much as what it is: a meditative, evocative odyssey up a big tower, with plenty of time to reflect and ponder deftly weaved through the experience by master storytellers who want you to feel every pore of the rock as you ascend, and every ache of the heart that its residents left behind.
