Exo One is a sci-fi adventure video game developed by Australian developer Exbleative and published by Future Friends Games for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Microsoft Windows. The game launched on November 18, 2021.[2]

Gameplay[]

Premising humanity's first mission outside the Solar System, players take control of an alien spacecraft and travel across the surface of surreal procedurally-generated worlds.[3] The craft utilizes three modes of movement; roll, glide and fly; to gather momentum and propel forward, enabling players to explore the skies or dive into the oceans of a particular planet.[4] Exploration is highlighted by an electric guitar soundtrack as well as a vocal narration delving into the game's story.[5]

Development[]

Influenced by momentum-based games like iOS mobile game Tiny Wings, as well as atmospheric indie adventure Journey,[6] lead developer Jay Weston began full-time work on Exo One in early 2016,[3] and launched a successful Kickstarter campaign for the project in 2017.[7] In addition, Tim Mcburnie served as a conceptual artist for the game, musician Rhys Lindsay provided the soundtrack, while programmer Dave Kazi assisted Weston with coding.[4]

Reception[]

Exo One received "generally favorable" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.[8][9]
