Review Orbitals by NextN
Its grand design of levels and mechanics forces us to look beyond our own screen. By expressing the communication between players.
The artistic section is a beautiful ode to the anime of the 80s and 90s. The Spanish dubbing shines at a high level.
Mini-games are fun and bring variety...
... although the adventure is not very replayable and a bit short
The obligation to play with another person limits its audience.
Its linear structure leaves little room for exploration.

Review Orbitals by Games.ch
Comic book style in the vein of animated series from the 1980s and 1990s.
Various cooperative tasks that combine puzzles and action.
Often relatively free in what they do (using tools, piloting a spaceship, or shooting)
Through Game-Share or online friend code, a single copy is also enough to play outside of local mode.
Dubbing available in many languages, including German, Japanese and English.
Punchy soundtrack
Thanks to the friend pass feature, an online player does not need their own full version.
Animations at 24 frames per second can be disorienting at first.
Permanent checkpoints could be created more frequently.

A stunning art director
A super effective staging
A game that renews itself in its mechanics
The three tools, all cool to use
An absolutely awesome OST
A top-notch French version
A scenario that fits on a post-it
Not a very good replay value
The phases in the ship, not at the level of the rest

Review Orbitals by Journal du Geek
The choice of roles and weapons before each mission
+ Innovative gameplay that constantly renews itself
A beautiful retro-animated AD
An excellent and catchy OST
A living base, its secrets and its competitive mini-games to unlock
The complete physical cartridge and the friend pass
A requirement that leaves the noobs aside
A lackluster, not particularly captivating story

Numerama
Orbitals reviewed by Numerama
Review Orbitals by Numerama
A technically artistic marriage as rarely seen in a video game
Hyper ingenious and filled with great ideas for asymmetric gameplay
An experience accessible to a much wider range of profiles than It Takes Two or Split Fiction.
Scenario way too predictable despite endearing characters
The (intentional) framerate can disrupt during action phases.
Too short (and too easy for genre veterans), and lacking replay value.

Brilliant Toriyama-inspired graphics
Great music
Solid buddy chemistry between the main characters
Good puzzles
A slightly dull overarching narrative, with physics that feels a bit "floaty" at times

Review Orbitals by Shacknews
Maki and Omura lead a warm and fuzzy cast of characters
Great variety between flight, on foot travel, and tool use for puzzles
Wonderful retro anime aesthetic
Solid voice acting throughout
Very cushy and forgiving if you get stuck
Camera sometimes misbehaves with terrain too close behind you
A few noticeable momentum-based bugs
Some tasks will test your patience as a duo

Press Start

Review Orbitals by Press Start
Absolutely stunning, nostalgic art and audio direction
Coherent and engaging co-op puzzle design
A fun narrative that hovers a spotlight over expected themes of transhumanism in a far-flung future
Online co-op runs smoothly and just works as it should
Awkward, transitory scenes feel a bit like filler
Isn't nearly as wacky or unpredictably fun as its contemporaries
Felt quite brief and the ending was kind of abrupt

Pizza Fria

Review Orbitals by Pizza Fria
Cooperation is truly fundamental for the entire campaign.
Various tools and interchangeable responsibilities
Excellent artistic direction inspired by classic animes.
Soundtrack is one of the great strengths.
Excellent dubbing in Brazilian Portuguese
Relatively short campaign
The story takes time to build weight for its main mission.
The supporting characters could be more memorable.

I share an amazing technical expertise.

The story would have benefited from a little more depth.
Some puzzles are a bit too basic.

An incredibly inspired 80s-style artistic direction.
Intelligently designed and well thought out cooperative gameplay
More challenging phases that will appeal to regulars
A beautiful OST with high-quality French and Japanese voice acting.
The small mini-games that break up the routine of exploration
The presence of a Friend Pass to play with only one copy of the game online.
Way too short to see the end of it (4/5 hours of gameplay)
Ultra limited replayability
The phases in the spaceship that deserve more depth
Scenario lacking interest

Review Orbitals by NerdMovieProductions
Extremely fascinating and effective animated style from the 90s.
Interesting and well-integrated environmental puzzles.
Many options for playing in a group with just one copy of the game.
Once finished, there are not too many reasons to start the adventure again.
The inspiration for Split Fiction and It Takes Two is always constant.
About 6 to 7 hours later, we reach the end credits.

Superb asymmetric riddles capable of constantly enhancing communication between participants;
Masterful and deeply respectful artistic direction towards retro Japanese animation.
Perfectly condensed narrative and playful rhythm.
Excessively short in duration;
Exclusively cooperative formula binding in order to fully complete and explore.

Story with interesting beginnings...
Solid and engaging cooperative experience, with varied and well-structured puzzles.
Good variety of situations and changes in perspective
Fascinating and very meticulous artistic direction
Quality sound and dubbing
... but not very developed due to the total duration
Space battles are less successful and sometimes chaotic.
Duration too short compared to the launch price

Nintendoros
Its 80s and 90s aesthetic is very successful and not limited to the cinematics, but permeates the entire visual aspect.
Cooperative design is very remarkable, with both players actively participating, exchanging tools, and needing to communicate to overcome challenges.
It features a wide variety of initial situations, combining puzzles, platforms, mini-games, exploration, and piloting.
There could be more variety of tools and mechanics for the adventure.
The 30 fps limit and animations at 12/24 fps may not convince all players, especially those who prefer a smoother experience.

Visually adorable
Freedom to choose who takes what among the gadgets
Some satisfying riddles...
... and many other unexciting ones
Few gadgets and few varied situations
This leaves a feeling of unfinished business.
