Rime, a descendant of Ico (feddit.org)

Rime is a very melancholic game by the sadly now defunct Tequila Works. You play a child that is stranded alone on an island but soon gets support by a fox spirit. Together you must solve the puzzles of the island and reach and climb the only landmark of this place, the huge central tower. The puzzles are not overly complicated or hard, but there was enough variety in them to entertain me over the whole play time of roughly 7 hours without feeling bored or it being repetitive. The levels are each unique in setting, theme and atmosphere to each other, highlighting the developers craft. Each level is a big open world, where you need to explore in order to find new ways to progress.

The highest strength of this game is its atmosphere and the music. Both are fantastic and similar to Ico, since you also explore a strange fortress together with a lone companion and wonder together at the vistas.

It's available on GoG, Steam, XBox One & PS4 but the price of 35 € really hurt the game in my opinion. <15-20 € is a fairer price range for the amount of content.

Oof, didn't remember the game being 35 €/$/whatever. Pretty steep ask for that game... It's a good game still, played it through few times. Probably got mine from a humblebundle ages ago.

I don't think I ever found all the collectibles in the game. Is there some different end if you get them all?

I don't really remember, I don't think so. I just remember, that you can interact with all the toys you found. So nothing major changes, I think.

I remember getting it with the Playstation Plus subscription and not expecting much but it turn out to be awesome and I even cried a few times by the end.

I played this one a few years ago, picked it up at a steep discount and really enjoyed the experience overall.

Rime was such a relaxing game. Sad to hear about their studio.
