VGamingNewsDrew SherrattMay 20249/10Isles of Sea and Sky is a tremendously fun puzzle game that weaves a grand fabric of mystery from the humble strands of gaming fundamentals harkening back 30-years. I’m amazed how well a collection of incredibly simple mechanics have been carefully layered on top of one another to eke out an ever-increasing difficulty in such a steady and measured fashion. With a polished NES-style look, engrossing score and a boatload of secrets, it’s a game that’s as addictive as it is enjoyable, suffering only mildly from some murky storytelling. Make no mistake, this is a victory for indie gaming and solo developers the world over.

PolygonGrayson MorleyJul 2024Not to quote a meme, but to quote a meme: Isles of Sea and Sky is here to say "Just Walk Out. You Can Leave!!!" What began for me as a frustration with the game turned into a bit of self-reflection when I stopped to consider why, exactly, I felt the need to stay frustrated, when, at any point, I could simply leave, or, to quote our generation's preeminent philosopher dasharez0ne, "hit da bricks!!!" Sure, there are some areas you cannot access before completing at least a certain number of puzzles, but in general, you can well and truly leave behind most anything that's too frustrating in Isles and find something you'd rather be doing. The challenge, at least in my case, was in allowing myself to do so.
