Our Take

At $19.99, this could be interesting if you're into platformers with lots of abilities and customization options. No Metacritic score yet, so a bit of a gamble.

Review

Mio: Memories in Orbit is a platformer that puts you in the metallic shoes of a robot trying to revive a massive ship and its AI caretakers. The game's extensive abilities and customization options offer depth, letting you choose how to tackle its challenges. The puzzles and combat seem focused on precision and timing, with a mix of exploration and action. However, its current 3.14/5 user rating might be a warning flag for some. Without a Metacritic score, it's hard to gauge how it holds up against similar platformers. The art style and storyline might appeal to those who enjoy a narrative-driven experience, but whether the gameplay matches its ambition is uncertain.

+Variety of abilities like wall climbing and gliding
+Customization options with Modifiers
+Unique enemies and bosses add challenge

Cons

-No Metacritic score yet could signal mixed or low expectations
