9/10 - GamesRadar+ (https://www.gamesradar.com/solar-ash-review-ceaseless-distilled-fun-the-best-type-of-game/)
Solar Ash is a platforming playground that never loses steam, and it hides a memorable story of unfathomable tragedy.
9/10 - Attack of the Fanboy (https://attackofthefanboy.com/reviews/solar-ash-review/)
Solar Ash is a contemplative experience, visual feast, and faced-paced thrill ride expertly wrapped up into one exhilarating adventure. Without a doubt, this game is one of the best indie games of 2021, if not the best.
8/10 - VGC (https://www.videogameschronicle.com/review/solar-ash-game/)
Solar Ash is a highly original open-plan platform game. A slim move set that rewards momentum is the perfect means of exploring its swirling, broken landscapes and executing its more exacting challenges. While some of its elements feel overly simple, that doesn’t detract hugely from a clinically focused and fresh experience.
7/10 - Pushsquare (http://www.pushsquare.com/reviews/ps5/solar-ash)
Solar Ash pushes for a sense of momentum and fluidity with its take on 3D platforming, and it does work very well indeed. Rei's controls and abilities give the game a sense of ease, making it feel very gratifying simply moving through the game's world. While the main quest doesn't really evolve the challenge, and the picturesque environments can feel somewhat empty, the traversal at the heart of everything does about enough to carry you through to a satisfying conclusion. It's an ambitious second effort from Heart Machine that mostly sticks the landing.
8/10 - Gamespot (https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/solar-ash-review-ash-wins-day/1900-6417797/)
There's a reason this space is so dreamily built--Solar Ash takes place inside a massive black hole, after all--but the game is at its best when it isn't treating those reasons as if they matter all that much. The late game leans a little too heavily into the story, including swapping out the strong boss battles in favor of a binary choice in the game's climactic moments. But, most of the time, that story is where it belongs: in the background. And, thankfully, Solar Ash has some gorgeous backgrounds.
7/10 - IGN (https://www.ign.com/articles/solar-ash-heart-machine-review)
Solar Ash may not get everything right, but its kinetic platforming and incredibly stylish presentation make its world a lot of fun to explore.
