Play Overview
A Long Climb Ago (2023) is a running and jumping game where you create the platforms you need with Tetris-style blocks. Play involves two modes; you place the blocks that fall from the sky to create a safe route, then you control your character to run and jump to the exit.
You play a knight and mage who are working to reunite two lovers, repair the crystals and save the realm. You do this by working through levels to ascend the tower. You use the blocks to create the platforms you need by freezing time. But care is needed to avoid hazards, and to stop the blocks you place from bringing down the fragile structures you need to progress.
The result is a short and sweet action puzzle set in a stylish Medieval world. Things start simply but you are soon facing multiple hazards and precarious bridges to cross (and take care not to collapse with your blocks).

Benefits
Age Ratings
Skill Level
8+ year-olds usually have the required skill to enjoy this game. Still, it's important for parents and guardians to consider the maturity required to process the game content. You need to have good control of your character in the world, but also precision and planning in the placement of the blocks. Being able to freeze time does reduce the pressure, but there's still quite a lot riding on each move.
Costs
A Long Climb Ago
This game is free to play. There are no additional in-game purchases, loot boxes, adverts or subscription costs.
This is an unusual "subscription" as you only need to purchase the Dreams game once on PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5, then you can access all the games for free.
