Retrace the Light is an impressive ARPG that combines time-manipulation mechanics, strategic combat, challenging puzzles, and an emotional story. The excellent visuals and sound design make it an incredible experience.

Retrace the Light is a beautiful game. A vast variety of environments require completely different designs, and to be able to accomplish that whilst maintaining cohesion is impressive. Not only are the traversable areas a joy to admire, but the character designs are lovely too. The images of characters in conversation are colourful and bright, with an almost watercolour feel. It’s an interesting choice to put in such a technology focused game, but one I really like.
