[Rewrite] PlayStation 5 Review: Maze – Interim Odyssey

Whoa, so Maze: Interim Odyssey, huh? TreeFall Studios whipped up this sequel that kinda piggybacks off Maze: Pedestal of Trials. It’s like a bridge, not a bridge you walk on, but one that ties together with Rising Trials. Confusing? Maybe. Fun? Definitely. I took it for a spin, and guess what? It’s standalone – you can dive in without playing its siblings. Sweet deal for puzzle junkies out there. Anyway — wait, no — let’s talk biz.

So, imagine this: first-person view, left stick to move, right stick to swivel your noggin around. Classic, right? You jump with X, sprint with R2. Mess up? Oops, back to start, unless you’re all about that checkpoint life by hitting Square. Trust me, dropping checkpoints is your savior here. Oh, and coins! Ten per level – like Easter egg hunting but with more existential pondering.

Trophies galore! Shiny Platinum ones. Because, obviously, what’s a game without a trophy cabinet? Cross-Buy action too – PS4, PS5, no extra cash thrown around (yay for financial wisdom!). Bronze, Silver, Gold — the whole metallic rainbow. And yes, gotta find hidden stuff. I mean, life’s all about finding hidden stuff, isn’t it? Or maybe that’s just me overthinking again.

I remember playing Pedestal of Trials back in 2021, and this little in-betweener, Interim Odyssey — let’s call it Maze Lite? — gives you that quick puzzle fix for like $2.99. Less than a posh coffee, honestly. Load it up on PlayStation 4 or 5 and zone out, collecting, checkpointing, falling — rinse, repeat.

Okay, sidebar. I had this strange thought — why does the sound of jumping in games always remind me of slamming a car door? Just me? Anyway, testing your timing, solving puzzles, sprinkling in new areas… The game keeps you hooked. And if trophies are your kryptonite, you’ll wanna grab that Trophy Guide.

So, if you’re meandering through TreeFall Studios’ labyrinth of creativity, don’t miss Interim Odyssey. It’s pocket change and addictively fun. Alright, I’m done gushing. Game on!
