So, let’s dive into this quirky game called Maze: Interim Odyssey—sounds epic, right? I mean, it’s like the bridge between Maze: Pedestal of Trials and this upcoming something—Rising Trials? Anyway, it’s from TreeFall Studios, which I remember reviewing back in the day on my trusty PS4. Now, smack dab between those games, this one’s about puzzles, puzzles, and yeah, you guessed it—more puzzles. Four levels, each packed with stuff that’ll make your brain do somersaults, I kid you not.
So, here’s the thing. You navigate in the first person. You know the drill: left stick moves you, right stick lets you peek around a bit. Jump with X because gravity’s overrated, and for those speedy moments, R2 is your best bud (kind of like coffee on a groggy morning). But watch out for holes! (I never seem to see them.) Faceplanting’s a real deal, and bam, you’re back at the start unless you’ve been smart and set a checkpoint with Square. What’s the trick again? L2 to hop back to it when you inevitably mess up finding those sneaky 10 coins. Coins are like the ultimate shiny distraction.
Oh, and trophy hunters, listen up. This one’s got a full list ready to make you sweat—or just mildly challenge you, really. There’s a Platinum trophy, the crowning glory of digital achievements! (Side note: why are these so satisfying? The world may never know.) The game’s Cross-Buy, so grab it on PS4 or PS5, no extra bucks needed. But each version? Brand new stack of trophies to chase. Coins, checkpoints, levels—do it all and get your shiny reward. Plus, there might be a hidden collectible or ten.
Not to forget, it’s pretty cheap at $2.99. That’s like less than a decent latte. Ironic, given how it’ll keep you awake longer than caffeine ever could. Speeds up your pulse, even if it’s just figuratively. Okay, maybe literally if you’re clumsy like me.
Anyway, if you’re into puzzles—or just need a break from reality—give it a whirl. It’ll keep you entertained and probably a bit befuddled. But hey, that’s what games are for, right? Cheers to another journey in the maze of gaming!
