One Last Breath is a love letter to the simple times when 2.5D narrative-driven games were at their peak. Since their absence, the title brings a fan-favorite back to the mainstream via its great storytelling and intriguing puzzles.

One Last Breath has some smart puzzles that feel familiar to the genre, but the world is so inviting despite it being on the brink of collapse. There isn’t a ton of originality in its puzzles or its creatures, but the way it tells its story without a single word is admirable, choosing to let the environments do the talking. There’re a few collectibles to find which allow you to explore certain areas, and with a delightful art style and beautiful score, it’s an easy recommendation for fans of the genre.

Since the game is so short, I still think it’s worth a try. When the game succeeds, it glows, and gameplay feels seamless and interesting. You might bang your head against it a little, but the solutions are always common sense and it feels incredible to work through something on your own. Just be warned that you probably won’t find the game’s ending particularly satisfying, but if you can look past that, One Last Breath does have something to offer.

One Last Breath es una corta aventura en un mundo extraño y peligroso que nos deja un mensaje optimista aun considerando la naturaleza oscura de su mundo. Su jugabilidad es sencilla y su narrativa recompensa la atención al detalle. Si eres de los que les gusta este singular subgénero de plataformeros, vale la pena echarle un vistazo.

One Last Breath es una entretenida aventura llena de plataformas, imaginativos puzles y temibles enemigos. Disfrutarás si te gusta resolver los distintos desafíos mediante el ingenio, el sigilo o incluso huyendo a la carrera cuando no queda otra salida. Su historia, contada mediante lo que perciben nuestros ojos del escenario a medida que avanza la partida, es la de una naturaleza herida de muerte por las destructivas manos de la humanidad, que busca sobrevivir a través de su último aliento, el renacer de Gaia. A su necesario mensaje ecológico, se le une una ambientación fantástica que te hace sentir en unas ocasiones incómodo y asfixiado, y en otras lleno de paz y calidez.
