there is some mistake in french traduction but not a big problem, we like traductions !

The jacket picture of the game remember me a french anime for kids : "l'âne trotro", l'âne trop trop rogolo. And the game looks like it, it's a good games for kids but even playable for adults if you forget that you're an adult. xD

Review SIGINT 3/5 · Dec 25, 2020

Taking the scenic route

This is a chill, friendly game with a nice aesthetic that will satisfy those looking for a low-stakes, low-stress, small-scale exploration experience that leaves you with something to think about.

This is a chill, friendly game with a nice aesthetic that will satisfy those looking for a low-stakes, low-stress, small-scale exploration experience that leaves you with something to think about. It is satisfying to do the simple, enjoyable videogame tasks of collecting random items and completing simple little objectives and minigames without the longer-term implications of a bigger game or a mandate to do particular parts that don’t strike your fancy. Dialogue is very casual in a way that was fun to read, sorta reminding me of Donut County or Night in the Woods—at least if you like those and stuff like Animal Crossing, I think you would like this. The ending is sort of a quiet surprise that is worth seeing, since the game is so short and punctuated so nicely. Seems like it hit other users harder than me but I thought it was a nice ending that recontextualizes the whole experience.

On sale on Switch at the time of writing, I think I paid like $6 USD this morning.

A Bird Story

In ASH you play a bird who climbs a mountain, gathers golden feathers to be able to reach the top, does some fetch quests for people and engages in a couple of mini-games. It's relaxing and the presentation is nice. The most impressive thing about the game is that even without a map you never feel lost, and even with …

It's relaxing and the presentation is nice. The most impressive thing about the game is that even without a map you never feel lost, and even with the mountain being pretty high you never feel like falling/gliding down hurts your progress.

It's a decent way to spend 90+ minutes, though i feel the phone call bit was lazily manipulative. It didn't feel 'earned' like in other "walking simulators".

Back to nature..

A really good game to have during quarantine days. I spent only an afternoon relaxing and enjoying this game and I found it a really good experience. I recommend it to anyone who wants to just chill and have "a short hike"!

Short and sweet! A relaxing walk with amazing music that adapts as you move through the area, which I really really really loved. Lots of little things to do that are, in a way, completely unnecessary, but in an Animal Crossing way very fun and meaningful. Would absolutely recommend for anyone who needed a little cheering up, not to mention …
