This, along with the linearity of the game, makes it feel more passive as the gameplay is just there to felicitate the beautiful set pieces and music which are great.
Even if I failed, I was not set back at all. The platforming gameplay is very simple with only having the controls to move from left to right, to jump, and float in the jump. It is a very simple platformer with bosses that require players to match their musical notes to defeat them. Unfortunately, the gameplay of the Artful Escape is the least notable part of the game. The various tracks in the different levels are great to just jam out to as I played through them. The music is similar to the art style in that it is really good and compliments the theme of the games. (This is why I am not including much of those later stage levels as they are best left to be discovered.)Ī game about music like the Artful Escape needs to have a good soundtrack, and in my opinion, this game nails it.
And once we leave Earth, there are a lot of beautiful, trippy, and breathtaking locations to see and play through. The game looks absolutely stunning with its art and locations. But this predictability is offset by the set pieces of where it takes place.
The Artful Escape has a predictable story from the start. This is where he also discovers himself as his own musician.įrom the description alone, the story seems very cheesy, and from playing through the game – it surely is the case. The night before Francis is about to perform folk music at a celebration in honor of his uncle’s music, he goes on a journey of discovery in a new vast universe. Almost everyone in the town expects Francis to follow in his Uncle’s footsteps and become a folk musician.īut deep down inside, Francis wants to be a rock musician and he feels burdened by all these expectations which have been set upon him to follow in his uncle’s footsteps. Francis lives in the small town of Calypso and the town’s main claim to fame is Johnson Vendetti. In the Artful Escape, we follow Francis Vendetti, a teenager who is living under the shadow of his famous folk musician uncle, the late Johnson Vendetti.
