“Shio” is a challenging platformer game in which you deep and moving story by jumping from lantern to lantern. If you are big fan of Super Meat Boy, you will like Shio as well!

PS3Blog.netJun 201890/100Coconut Island Games have released a truly satisfying game in Shio. If you like difficult platformers, you'll have a blast with this one. It doesn't have a big story to keep you glued to the screen, but it more than makes up for it with some solid gameplay mechanics and platforming sections that are challenging but also highly addictive.

GamingTrendNathan AnstadtMay 201885/100I had a handful of small, niggling issues with Shio that by the end I was willing to overlook in the face of a game so expertly crafted that it shouldn't be missed. I just wish there was more of it.

Nintendo LifeGavin LaneAug 20188/10Shio is a lovely surprise which offers up a precise and beautiful platforming experience. Although it lacks the level of polish as something like Celeste, if you've already conquered that mountain (or – sacrilege! – you're not a fan of its pixel aesthetic), this is a tightly crafted, technical platformer in a similar mould that's well worth a look.

Video ChumsA.J. MaciejewskiAug 20182/5 starsShio would be a lot more enjoyable if it didn't rely on its only gimmick and repetitive stage designs throughout its entire campaign.

NintendoWorldReportMatthew OlivoSep 20185.5/10Overall, while the game doesn't quite live up to the game it was inspired by, it does have its own merits and reasons to play through it. If you're a fan of challenging platformers, then I'd definitely recommend giving this on a shot and suggest keeping a few spare Joy-Con at hand to replace any you may break in frustration.
