I recently got a chance to play around an hour of Unpetrified: Echoes of Nature on the PlayStation 5 Pro, thanks to a review copy provided by Mindscape B.V.
You can find my gameplay video, along with my first impressions, below:
Pros:
- Calm and relaxing adventure game.
- Butterflies and region compass helps with navigation.
Cons:
- Slow walking speed.
Overall:
Unpetrified: Echoes of Nature is an adventure game where you control a rock golem.
As you traverse its whimsical world, you will run into block paths. To progress, you usually need to interact with different objects by using an Aura Impulse. This action can move certain objects, light up others, and more.
Using an Aura Impulse will deplete energy, which you can refuel by using the same actions on specific plants.
Exploring the world of Unpetrified is extremely relaxing, especially when you consider that there aren’t any enemies to worry about. You have plenty of time to zoom in to look at the various cute animals or sit on a bench to get a wider view of the scenery.
My only real issue with the game is the slow walking speed. While you can move faster by rolling, this action is only limited to certain sections.
If you don’t mind the slow movement, then Unpetrified: Echoes of Nature is a fun and relaxing adventure game worth playing.
