Description: Relax and unwind with Soar, an exploration based adventure game designed to restore colour and beautiful music to a stunning but unforgotten land. The Tree of Life has faded so a drought of colour has fallen on the Island of Paradise. The rings of colour need to be activated to restore the 7 colours and rejuvenate the tree.

Soar puts you at the heart of an incredible tranquil journey where you can collect your fellow birds, restore the sun and create beautiful music, leaving you with a sense of calm, in a relaxed state and feeling truly revitalised.

Review: Soar (Tree of life) is a strange ‘game’ that is for sure. Its much more of a relaxing flight experience than anything else, but I suppose there are some adventure elements to the game as well. The idea and indeed storyline are pretty simple. The tree of life has had its colour drained and it is up to you to fly though circles located all over each island and restore the colour to it.

The more circles you fly through, the more colourful the world becomes and the more animals spring to life. While low in polygon count it is surprisingly beautiful and a really nice experience. Sure, it’s not going to challenge anyone, not even the little ones, but it will take anyone who plays it away from it all and into a wonderful world of music and colour. Not a game for sure, but a very nice interactive experience.
