PLAY IT OR SKIP IT?
Skip it for now, at least until the more serious bugs have been addressed. Arto is a highly stylish, if simple adventure game with surprisingly vicious combat, but it’s plagued by some jankiness that’s severe enough to prevent progress in some cases. That’s a shame, because there are a lot of things I really like about Arto—I just can’t see any more of it.
