Solar Ash Review: Keeping the Momentum Up Amid Apocalypse

Rei stands in a fiery plain in Solar Ash.

"Graceful movements and breathtaking battles against colossal monsters make Solar Ash a worthy successor to Hyper Light Drifter."

advantages

  • Pleasant movement

  • Awesome boss fights

  • Inventive world design

  • Fantastic score

disadvantage

  • Some poor story beats

  • Camera can cut the swing in half

Solar Ash is a perfect example of what makes video games such a unique artistic medium: it takes inspiration and design elements from several high-profile classics, but blends them into something that is different from everyone else – or any game I've ever played have.

Developed by Heart Machine, the studio behind the indie hit Hyper Light Drifter, some elements of Solar Ash will look familiar at first glance. His gigantic boss fights are reminiscent of Shadow of the Colossus, while the reality-distorting space exploration is reminiscent of Super Mario Galaxy. Sometimes the fun of creating video games comes from the digital alchemy that arises when developers start mixing cups. In this regard, Solar Ash is a successful experiment that comes to life with bright colors and unmatched style.

Filled with memorable sequences, Solar Ash is a focused successor to Hyper Light Drifter that repeatedly awakens moments of awe. The fluid cloud skating movement is just plain enjoyable, while towering bosses deliver memorable set pieces that put speed and reaction time to the test. It's an indie game with full swing that is always on the move, even if it misses a few subtleties.

I'm a void baby

Solar Ash's world may look colorful, but its story is darkly apocalyptic. A massive black hole appears near a planet and gradually begins to tear it apart. While world government proves useless in stopping it, a group of people called the Voidrunners are deployed to activate the starseed, a device that can stop a black hole. The game follows a runner named Rei who travels around the decaying planet and kills huge monsters, allowing her to use the starseed.

A white figure speaks to Rei in Solar Ash.

It's a surprisingly rich science fiction story, full of history and world education. It is most effective when it offers commentary on real-world problems, such as the inability of our own politicians to come together and resolve life-threatening crises in a timely manner. Audio logs describe a well-known dystopia where the appearance of the black hole somehow turned into a divisive political problem that stalemated the government's response. Its story is a little less effective when it turns into a comparatively vague meditation on individuals picking up the pieces, but it's a good use of science fiction as a real-world allegory.

As the name suggests, Voidrunners can run – or more precisely "skate". The game is all about exploring the world at a fast pace using some fluid mobility tools. If you hold down the left trigger, Rei can whiz across any surface like a skater or drag on anything rail-like, from plant roots to disassembled subway rails floating in mid-air. Movement is easy to understand, but immediately satisfying. Exploration is a fast-paced ballet that rarely requires players to stop moving. Stringing jumps and grinds together to solve platform puzzles feels like performing a graceful dance routine.

Most of the puzzles in the game are timed micro-gloves that require Rei to quickly slit open a few stakes and stick her sword into a huge eye before it is evaporated from the black goo around her. These use the movement mechanics to a large extent and present the players with small challenges in each level, which put their control and speed to the test. There are also some collectibles – including alternate suits and insightful audio logs – scattered around the world that add some optional platform challenges to the mix for players who want some rewards for exploring.

Stringing jumps and grinds together to solve platform puzzles feels like performing a graceful dance routine.

There aren't many additional tools out there, but that's because the game doesn't need them. A time slowing maneuver makes Rei charge targets from a great distance, and there's a boost to drive around faster. Nothing is arbitrary; everything aids the movement and helps smooth it out even further. Just as Shadow of the Colossus is known to have reduced everything that does not serve its core gameplay, Heart Machine takes care not to over-complicate what already feels good.

Climb a colossus

There's battle in Solar Ash, but it's secretly another mobility tool. Rei can perform one simple blow that can take out slimy black enemies crawling around the world. Attack is more about maintaining momentum than slowing it down to clear out waves of bad guys. This is especially evident when using Reis' Time Slow Down ability, which allows her to encounter an enemy from a distance. The slash has a surprisingly long range, allowing Rei to jump into an enemy and slash them in mid-air without stopping to fight.

The best combination of combat and movement comes from the game's boss fights. In each level, Rei faces a huge black monster covered with plates of bone called Remnants. They're some of the greatest video game bosses I've ever seen, and even tower above some of the greatest beasts on Shadow of the Colossus. A snake-like whale, for example, hovers in the air and circles dilapidated apartment buildings. It's a fascinating sight, and one that only gets more impressive when you realize you are about to skate the entire length of its bony back.

It's a spectacle that never gets thin and only gets more fascinating as the monsters get bigger.

In boss fights, Rei must find a way to face a beast and then complete a version of the game's time trials that are spread over his body. In a fight, I draw towards a huge flying creature. I pull up my wings and slit stakes before reaching the top. It turns around and sends me down its bottom in a perceptually distorting moment. It's a spectacle that never gets thin and only gets more fascinating as the monsters get bigger.

Sometimes the game just can't keep up with its ambitions. The camera can get a little unwieldy as the beasts squirm and reset Reis' position. There were a couple of fights that I had to repeat simply because I got lost in a nauseating camera transition. Repeating fights can also be a chore, as Rei has to go back to a monster, hold it again, and repeat the exact same fight sequence until she makes it. I've also had a few instances where I got stuck in the area and forced myself to reset.

The small technical defects do not detract from the spectacle. The Solar Ash bosses gave me the same “wow” moments that I got when I first played Shadow of the Colossus. It feels impossible to go seamlessly from skating through a swamp to sliding a 300-foot-tall giant bone sword on its way to the soft spot on top of your head. It's still a mind-boggling magic trick, even 16 years after a PS2 game first did it.

Neon dystopia

The colorful art direction makes Solar Ash stand out immediately in an indie game series. While the graphics are simple, even with limited textures and detail, bright colors add a true sense of afterlife to the science fiction world. The planet is bathed in bright pink as Rei dances across seas of pale blue clouds. It's a surrealistic mood piece – a strange world wrapped in a neon sign.

While its influences are clear, it doesn't look or sound like the games it is related to.

However, it's less the vivid graphics and more the actual world design that make Solar Ash pop. It takes hints from Super Mario Galaxy to create seemingly impossible leeway for gamers. In a later biome, I drove up and around a winding pillar of cloud and got myself into an area hundreds of miles above what I believed to be the ground. Elsewhere, deconstructed railroad tracks obscure the city's sky, allowing me to skillfully climb to the top of skyscrapers. The game makes the most of its black hole premise by using the science fiction threat to literally tear apart the environment and reassemble it into platform paradise.

Rei jumps near a building in Solar Ash.

The sound is just as impressive. Solar Ash features fantastic music from Disasterpeace that adds to the creepy sci-fi atmosphere. It's a disturbing collection of music that highlights the heavenly catastrophe that is tearing the world apart. A strong voice output gives life to the inhabitants of the world and increases the apocalyptic stakes even further. Rei is especially strong as her collected demeanor begins to tear apart as panic sets in over her worldly reality.

It is these aesthetic accents that give Solar Ash its own identity. While its influences are clear, it doesn't look or sound like the games it is related to. Heart Machine's signature style is completely intact here, even after abandoning the 2D pixel art that Hyper Light Drifter fans are used to. The studio has created a complicated alien world that is so bright and welcoming that I can't help but be angry at the forces of this universe for failing to protect it.

Our opinion

Solar Ash is a stylish sci-fi platformer who skillfully interweaves influences to create something fresh. The emphasis on fast, fluid movements makes exploring a dance-like pleasure. The boss fights, inspired by Shadow of the Colossus, also take advantage of this mechanic and create exciting action set pieces on a mind-boggling scale. Technical problems can hold back the momentum, but it's never enough to completely distract you from an inviting sci-fi playground waiting to be saved.

Is there a better alternative?

If you're looking for other motion-based indie games, Celeste and Ori and the Will of the Wisps are both great options. If all you want is the giant bosses, the PS4 remake of Shadow of the Colossus is a must see.

How long it will take?

It's just under five to six hours in total, with a few collectibles on the way for extra playtime.

Should you buy it?

Yes sir. Solar Ash is a fast paced and fun platform game with a meaty science fiction story and a handful of unforgettable boss fights.

Keeping Skin Younger For Longer

When it comes to your skin, it is the largest organ in your body and the one that is probably the most prone to wear and tear as it has to fight the external elements on a daily basis. Some people are naturally blessed with good skin because of their genetics, while others are more prone to breakouts, acne, and other skin care issues. So what can we do to keep our skin younger for longer? With many of the beauty products and procedures the world has promised us, it's hard to know which is the real deal. Here are some ways that can help you keep that youthful glow well into your later years, or even rewind the clock.

Hydration is key

When we think of water, it has a pretty simple taste, maybe a bit bland. However, water is synonymous with moisture, and that is all for our skin. In order for our skin to retain its elasticity and shine, the body needs a lot of moisture. Your skin cells are made up of water. So they don't work optimally without water. Lack of water means your skin becomes drier, more flaky and more prone to wrinkles. Water can help prevent skin conditions from flaring up or persisting, and we lose large amounts of water every day. We have to somehow bring it back into our bodies. So drinking water – about 1.5 liters per day – helps maintain the right amount of moisture for your body. Drink more after you've exercised.

You may also want to add an extra moisturizing moisturizer to your skin regimen and try to avoid the things that can dry you out, such as: B. Drinking alcohol.

The art of sleeping

Sleep is a nice thing. It is a chance for our bodies to recover and repair to function optimally for the next day. Without sleep, we endanger our bodies and therefore our skin also suffers. Think puffy and dark under the eyes and more breakouts on the skin. When you hit the hay you want to make sure you sleep on a silk pillow and / or wear a silk eye mask. Silk is a gentle material on the skin and therefore does not damage the surface of the skin.

Silk will also keep you cooler at night, which means you will sweat less. Sweat causes our breakouts by clogging pores. So no sweating means no stains! It can also avoid other skin problems like creepy skin which are explained here https://www.siobeauty.com/blogs/news/crepey-skin, which are most common in older women.

Protect your skin all year round

If you don't have a skin care routine, it's time to get one. Skin care regimen is important for all ages, and you should use proper skin care products to protect your skin from damage. Whatever the weather, you should always apply sunscreen under your makeup or as part of your morning skin regimen before going out. UV rays can be harmful to the skin and cause sun damage. Even when the sun isn't shining, these rays can penetrate through the clouds and into your skin. So it's a good idea to lather up a good layer of SPF 15-20 every day.

Have a skin care routine that works for you and not because you've heard about the latest skin care trend which consists of 1,439 different products that you need to use every morning. You will just get bored or demotivated to continue the routine. The main ones are an oil cleanser that removes dirt and makeup, a moisturizer, and an exfoliating element like a face scrub or mask that you can do every few days.

Acids are also great at home when you want to add an extra product to your routine. Retinoids have anti-aging and anti-acne properties that have made them so popular with men and women around the world.

Eat and drink well

Unfortunately, it's as good as Chinese take away food, it probably won't benefit your skin or body if you have it too often. A healthy diet is all about moderation. It is important to know when you are overeating and to be aware that you are bringing the right amount of healthy food to not-so-healthy food. Avoid coffee and opt for a fruit tea like peppermint or green tea. If removing coffee is too difficult overall, limit your coffee consumption and replace the others with fruit tea.

Fruits and vegetables are delicious treats and won't rot your teeth like candy. Find fruits or vegetables that you enjoy eating. There are so many out there that there will be one or two you can learn to love! Try to aim for five days, which is very little if you remember to spread them out over the day.

Try to find foods that will benefit the appearance of the skin. Oily fish and avocados are just a few examples.

Remove bad habits

Bad habits can often affect the skin, such as: B. Smoking and heavy drinking. Try replacing the habit that is harming your skin with something that will hopefully make you stop it altogether. Or when it comes to something like alcohol, make sure to replace your fluids with plenty of moisture the next day.

Spot picking or nail biting is also a common bad habit, and often a trigger, boredom, or stress that causes you to pick or bite a nail in one spot. Find out where these triggers are coming from so you can get to the bottom of the problem.

Exercise often

It's not something many of us like to do, and it gets harder as you get older. However, frequent exercise can dramatically improve the appearance of your skin. Exercising allows blood to pump around your veins, flushing your skin, and preventing the dermis from thinning and the outer part of the epidermis from thickening. Exercise is known to reduce stress and flush out toxins, two things that are responsible for affecting the skin. Exercise your own way and do sports or exercises that you enjoy doing. Do a lot of stretching before and after so that the muscles are properly maintained.

Make makeup easy

Applying makeup on a daily basis will make the skin worse in some way, and this can often include breakouts and sores of the skin. For some many cosmetic products, you may opt for a lighter makeup routine from time to time. BB and CC creams are good and don't choke pores as much as a full-surface primer. Tinted moisturizers are also a great alternative to foundation. Use setting sprays throughout the day to add a little moisture to your skin and gradually apply the makeup.

Get a facial

With so many wonderful clinics and beauty salons at your disposal, there are so many different facial options available that can aid in the struggle to restore youthful glow. Here are some examples:

  • Lymphatic Massage Facial – When your body has trouble removing the lymph, it leads to water retention and swelling. Stimulating the lymph glands through massage helps to relieve tension and reduce swelling.
  • Vampire Facial – Made famous by Kim Kardashian, the vampire facial is not for the faint of heart. It's a non-surgical alternative to a face lift. By injecting a gel-like substance made partially from the patient's blood, the skin is rejuvenated and wrinkles are reduced.
  • Microdermabrasion Facial – Another non-surgical option, microdermabrasion, uses tiny grains to buff the old layers of skin. It's not as aggressive as dermabrasion, which uses tiny needles to break apart old skin cells.
  • Gold Facial – For a fancy facial, you might like a little gold. Gold in combination with the gamma PGA compound improves the overall appearance of the skin.
  • Enzyme Facial – Popular with acne sufferers, these facials help clear breakouts while cleansing the skin. They thoroughly cleanse the skin with fruit enzymes coupled with wonderful antioxidants and moisturizers.

Cut out the negatives

Many things can contribute to the aging of our skin, but nothing withers more than stress and riding the roller coasters of life. Hence, it is important to cut out any negative things in your life that are causing you pain, stress or sadness. Sometimes they are inevitable, but most of the time they can be removed by yourself. So cut out the negativity and only bring positivity into your life. No job is worth the stress of affecting your health, and life is too short to sweat out the little things.

So there you have it, the secret to youthful skin. Unfortunately, there is no permanent solution to maintaining your youth. We all get old at some point, and unfortunately our skin too. However, if you follow some of these steps, you can keep what you have while you are still able.
