A Short Hike | 28th Aug, 2020 | 2:15hrs | rating: 3/5
You’re a bird visiting a cozy island, trying to reach the top to get a phone signal!
GAMEPLAY: Quite simple, but it feels good just to run, jump and glide. It’s really like Breath of the Wild mixed with Animal Crossing, and it’s pretty brilliant.
AUDIOVISUALLY: I hate low resolution in 3D games, but luckily you can change to high res, and then it still looks simple, but charming enough. The music is very nice and up-lifting.
STORY/PRESENTATION: Very charming dialog, one of the highlights of the game! Just wish the game could have been longer and had a lot more to do. Feels like just a first area really.
A great proof-of-concept, but it’s over just as it got started. At 7usd, one cannot expect more, but I still wish it had a longer development time to make it really stand out.
