Such a beautiful story. I love the art style and the storytelling through imagery. This kind of game is what makes video games truly an artform.
Highly recommend for people who like games such as Journey
A beautiful game
This review is for the Xbox One version
The gameplay is somewhat clunky and the camera angles can be frustrating, that is true. A gorgeous game overall, however, with a fantastic soundtrack, amazing art and a very moving story. I spent a few very enjoyable hours and cried a fair bit. A couple of chapters are simply exquisite.
