What players think
The recurring themes across 164 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
It takes a half hour to get through, has very simple mechanics to the point where it's more experience than game, has very pretty and complementary art and music (the soundtrack is a crucial part of the experience and it's an impressive technical achievement the way it adjusts what's playing to match your pace), and discovering the game's content & arc for yourself may give you some unexpected stuff to feel about. you can pick it up for a dollar right now and it's worth it
When it turned from summer to autumn I was hooked, the art is gorgeous and I was excited to see a full 4 season cycle of gameplay.
A contemplative, richly artistic experience that couldn't exist in any other medium, Gathering Sky's thoughtful wordless narrative, painterly graphics, moving soundtrack and gloriously fun sense of flight make this one of the best ~40 minutes you can spend in a game.
