Orbitals Review
A co-op adventure that nails the feeling of a playable ‘90s anime.
Orbitals attempts to carve out its own space within the co-op puzzle genre, delivering an anime-inspired visual style that captivates from the start. The game's single-player focus, though, can make certain gameplay experiences predictable. Players take on the roles of Maki, a cheerful and optimistic hero, and Omura, a more reserved and analytical counterpart.
Together, they embark on a mission to gather Cassettes to restore their space colony's ship. Experiencing Orbitals is a nostalgic trip back to the early 90s anime era, with its stylized player select menu evoking the charm of classic Toonami shows. Though the game delivers entertaining puzzles and moments that blend action-adventure with cooperative gameplay, it may leave some players wanting more depth in its thematic exploration.
