GameGrinChristian WoottonSep 20159/10A visually pleasing puzzler that challenges your brain and shows a real sense of intelligent design in its UI and sound. Buy it.

ShacknewsSteven WongJul 20157/10Traverser puts players in the role of Valerie Bennett, who has the freedom to move between a floating city's upper and lower halves in a journey to free her father and uncover the truth. Although the game has a nice atmosphere, complete with a gravity manipulation glove for puzzles, Traverser can get weighted down with wasted potential.

PCWorldHayden DingmanJul 2015It's not enough though. Traverser is also proof that all the pretty graphics in the world can't make up for staid mechanics. I want to love Traverser. Taken piecemeal, I do love Traverser. But it's not enough to have great ideas—you need to execute on them too. And Traverser doesn't quite nail the execution.
