    So, at the end of this game I wasn't feeling the emotion the creators probably wanted me to feel--nostalgia/happiness/forgiveness. I didn't feel bad for the old m.

That lady wouldn't ask after him. He's a prick. That's bs. I thought the art was okay, nice and simple art & music and the 'puzzles' were pretty simple too. A little repetitive, but it's a short game. I guess it's the story that made me scoff.    … Expand

    This is one of the worst games I've ever player.
    Bad story: I've read some people saying the story is touching? So a story about an egoist person that abandon the wife with a little kid is now touching. I wanted the old man to suffer. The message of this game is SO WRONG.
    Gameplay: Inconsistent mechanic. It is easy in a bad way. It is easy because it is not well designed. Sound: A four    This is one of the worst games I've ever player.

    Sound: A four time short melody that repeats again, again, again, again, again. It is not even well composed.

    An interesting adventure filled with extraordinary moments, beautiful as a postcard with sunset. Rather than a game, it is more an interactive movie to watch.

    Old Man’s Journey takes around two hours to complete and makes the most of that time, showering players in an array of lovely images and sounds while also giving them some fun manipulation puzzles to solve. I left this beautifully animated countryside having felt that the journey was indeed one worth taking.
